Have you ever thought: “If only I could quit my job, everything would be better.” And you daydream about following your passions, or traveling, or going after that business idea you’ve always fantasized about?
But you know, deep down, that you will never quit your office job, for whatever reason. And that makes you feel trapped and stifled.
Well, hopefully today’s episode will make you feel a bit better. Visions of how the “grass is greener on the other side” often have little grounding in reality. Wishful goals that haven’t been set can’t be reached-and reaching for those unset goals will only leave you disappointed.

NOTE:
There are some things I omitted in this episode that I regret:
- I somewhat generalize “office jobs”. I realize that all jobs and situations are different.
- If you want to leave your job, I’m not saying you shouldn’t. I meant the focus of this episode to be those people who say they hate their job but won’t take steps to change it.

Have you ever gotten into an argument about politics with a family member or co-worker and you got really angry and fired up? Have you ever gotten into a fight online with a complete idiot?
You’d think as an HSP that I’d be good at knowing what to say when someone I care about, a friend or family member, had something terrible happen to them. I want SO BADLY to say something helpful, but I’m always afraid that I’ll say the wrong thing. So this isn’t for HSPs only—these tips could help anyone.
“Sure, I can work late tonight.”
Last week, 
There is a cultural expectation that women are more emotional and sensitive than men and that men should be tough and stoic. This expectation could clash with the traits of being an HSP, for men.
What if we HSPs could fully allow and embrace our strongest emotions? Our reactions to beauty in nature in art? What if we didn’t have to hold back at all?
