What is Joy for an HSP? with Willow and Julie

September 17, 2020 Julie Bjelland

In this podcast episode, Willow and I talk about what joy means as an HSP.

What does it look and feel like to be truly happy as an HSP? What is it exactly we are striving for? Are we often comparing our happiness to what it looks like in non-HSPs? The pursuit of happiness is a huge topic in itself and is often referred to as being only attained through the acceptance that we can’t be happy all the time! However it goes deeper and research indicates that happiness means the pursuit of meaning, service, and authentic social relationships. Whilst there is certainly a need for meaning, service, and authentic relationships for us, how should we be pursuing this as HSPs? What do these things really look like for us?

What do we value as most important in our lives as HSPs that perhaps are not being acknowledged when we compare to the happiness of non-HSPs? Are we truly recognizing and honoring our needs? Are we being honest about what truly makes us feel a sense of contentment, achievement, and happiness? Where might we be over-processing or over-complicating what happiness really means to us?

Join us as we consider the importance of recognizing whether we are on the right path in the pursuit of our own individual happiness as an HSP.

HSPs often feel best when they are able to grow their own businesses because we have a deep need to live aligned with our passion and calling. Many of us are called to serve and are very much needed in the world.

I LOVE helping HSPs rise to their fullest potential, especially when it means helping others.

I want to help you

Develop confidence in yourself
Do work you feel called to do, led with passion
Teach you tools that keep you balanced and resilient in business
Live aligned with what honors you
Develop financial security (this course teaches how to grow multiple sources of income), which helps you take self-care days and time off to live in balance so you can be the best you can be in all aspects of your life
Live in joy in work that feeds your soul
Feel fulfilled and live with meaning

I have always wanted to have my own business or source of income and that is why I took some courses to do it. After 2 failures I got it, without authenticity, compassion, and unconditional love for yourself, starting a business is a daunting task. Meeting Julie and taking her course has changed things, because now I understand what it is to be HSP and that my way of doing business is not the same as the rest of the world. This course is all about balance, it will give you the tools you need to start an online business with practical and timely data to create it, and at the same time it will talk about how to handle the emotional aspects of it, how to deal with criticism and give you time to replenish your energies. What you will learn here will help you if you work for a company, if you are creating your business while working for one company and even more if you have decided to create your company without working in another. Julie taught me that I can run a successful business centered on the heart and values and that I don't need to copy business models that only focus on money. Right now, I am working for a company and creating a business of my own. With the course I already feel more comfortable to pursue what I need and what I want. In addition, being in the community you will also receive the company of many HSPs and you will be able to express yourself in a safe place.
