Crashing or Recovery? A Self-Discovery at 70

#HighlySensitivePerson #HSP #Creativity #PersonalGrowth #AgingCreatively #CreativeLife #SelfDiscovery #TransitionSensitivityHave you ever had a realization about yourself that suddenly helped explain experiences you've had for years? For decades, I've described certain seasons of my life as "crashing." After a move, a busy period, a major project, family gatherings, or other significant life changes, I would often feel exhausted, disconnected, and unable to find my creative footing. I assumed I was burned out. Recently, while learning more about Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and transition sensitivity, I began to see those experiences differently. What if I wasn't crashing? What if I was recovering? In this video, I'm sharing a personal realization that has helped me better understand myself at 70 years old, why transitions affect me so deeply, and how small creative projects help me gently find my way back to myself. I'm still learning, still connecting dots, and still discovering new things about who I am and how I move through the world. One of the gifts of aging is realizing that self-discovery never really ends. ******************** You can buy me a coffee here, Always Appreciated, Never Expected https://ko-fi.com/jeribellini Thanks and Hugs, Jeri oxox ******************* Mentions: ******************* My Etsy Shops: If you need help finding something you saw on a Video, Let me know. https://www.etsy.com/shop/RecycledPar... https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShopAtTheLi... https://www.etsy.com/shop/MyFathersBeads My Web site: http://www.recycledparts4art.com To see ALL my social media links at once go here: https://linktr.ee/recycledparts4art ******************* My Go-To Supplies: Nurge Embroidery Hoop with Stand: https://amzn.to/47v9tqL Hexagon Papers for 2 inch hexies: https://amzn.to/3EzbyYk Waxed Linen: https://amzn.to/4ocLFiX Heat Erasable Pens for marking cloth: https://amzn.to/4mS6KOv Nylon Interfacing for Hexagon Bag, White: https://amzn.to/3H3mfUc Nylon Interfacing for Hexagon Bag, Black: https://amzn.to/4fgVsAI Felt Ironing Mat: https://amzn.to/3XJIODF Japanese Hole Punch (20% Off at the moment) https://amzn.to/3MawyVH SewLine Marking Pencil: https://amzn.to/3KGy0y1 SewLine Pencil Refills: https://amzn.to/3XeuKS0 Jumbo Circles Template: https://amzn.to/3XpynoB Books I LOVE: The Geometry of Hand Stitching: https://amzn.to/4hAnNlv Jennifers Books: I have all 4!
