Loving Spurs | Posting Kris Carey’s Article on Uniquely Sensitive People
You never know what might happen on a teleconference at the Money and Meaning Blog. 
A short while ago I issued a challenge to participants: Write something you’ve been stuck on writing and I will post it to the Money and Meaning Blog. Uncoach-like of me, I didn’t even give a deadline. Okay I’ll confess, I was using the cockiness of the offer as an extra loving spur: “Betcha can’t write that…betcha can’t!”
If everyone on that call had taken me up, there’d be 30-some new articles here. For now, we have one. Congrautlations Kris Carey, on completing the two articles. And as promised, I’m posting one here…the longer of the two. And thanks for sharing the email that prompted it: I’ve always said your email is a goldmine.
So as you read Kris’s email and subsequent article now generating her traffic to her website, think about what gems you might find if you look at your email a little differently…a few basically complete articles to boost your search engine ranking, perchance?
Begin Kris’ email:
Hi Andrea.
Well, you’ve done it again. As a result of the call where you issued a challenge to write if we were stuck I’ve written two articles! As you know I like to write, but sometimes it can seem there’s nothing to write about, or it’s too hard, too esoteric, off topic, blah blah blah…
So when you issued the challenge I said to myself, “Self, what articles are living in your email inbox right now?” This conversation got me unstuck and has shown me a fun and easy way to get writing again. Please consider the below my submission for your blog-a-thon.
Happy summer, and I send a big hug.
Kris

I got the following email as a result of an email I had sent out about my business coaching Uniquely Sensitive People:
Hi Kris,
It is great to hear from you and timely too…. I’ve been thinking suggesting to my friend that she call you… she is a sensitive person and has been told she is too sensitive her entire life, which is what got my attention from your material.
However, I don’t know if she is coachable. She has created a life that is extremely small and insulated. These are big issues and in order to break out of it, she needs to be ready and truly want to live a more full and rich life. She has worked with many therapists over the past 30 years and says that no one has had any answers. I am not sure she is ready to move ahead, though sometimes she says things that indicate she might be.
I would love to chat about this…given your expertise and insights into the sensitivity issue.
Where to go from here?
Regards,
A Concerned Friend

How many of the following points sound familiar?
- Have you been told you are too sensitive your entire life?
- Are you coachable – meaning are you taking in all the lessons that life has to offer, learning from them, and using that information as you go forward?
- Are you living a life that is extremely small and insulated?
- Are you ready to and truly want to live a more full and rich life?
- Have you consulted a range of experts, thinking that they need to ‘fix’ you, and that you don’t have to do any of the work?
- Are you willing to move ahead, despite sometimes feeling afraid or that you don’t know how?
- Do you have a family member or friend that wants the best for you and is not sure how to offer support?
- Are you being receptive to the love and help that may already be around you?
As a Uniquely Sensitive Person you have a lot to offer the world. And, at times, it may seem that rather than offer your gifts you need to hide, build an insular life that will protect you. I ask you to consider the cost of living this way, and instead embrace the opposite of the items listed above. When someone says you are too sensitive, let it go. Embrace all of life’s lessons. Take baby steps to expand your horizons (make a new friend, visit the beach, read a book in a coffee shop). Do the work required to get your mind around living a full and satisfying life. Realize that fear is part of being human, and take the support that your friends and family would be happy to give. And, of course, I would be remiss if I neglected to say that coaching is a great way to do all of the above!
My question to you is: what action are you willing to take, now – today, in order to start embracing yourself, your sensitivity, and the wonderful life awaiting you? Visit the website, http://www.lifestylecatalysts.com/usp.html and send me an email with your plans – I look forward to hearing from you.
