This is a wonderful list. 💛 Relate completely. My summer boundary is when we are driving anywhere over 5 minutes I will not let any kids ride in the front with me. I’ve just learned that my kids in the front seat mean more noises, volume and chaos. They can talk and sing and be silly with each other in the backseat. That few feet of space makes all the difference to my sensitive nervous system and I’m a better parent when I get where we’re going 😂
Great strategies, Megan. The quiet place is a must; I try to find some hidden place at work when I need decompression. Sometimes I need a lay down after overstimulating conversation. (I enjoy it but I need to wind down!) When I don't have those options, mindfully, sloowwly sipping cold water helps me! Thank you for the verses! 🙏

Thank you for sharing! It is so helpful for me to hear your perspective as both an HSP and a Christian.
