Overview
This book will help you create spaces that support your genius. If you don't think of yourself as having genius, think again. If you are reading this book, you qualify. You will learn about sensory sensitivity and neurodiversity, gaining an appreciation of how your brain works, and how your experience may differ from that of other people. Through sensory assessment exercises, you will discover unique aspects of your own nervous system, and discover the specific triggers that drain your energy. If you have trouble staying on task or regulating your emotions, this book will give you some tools for recognizing why you're struggling, removing obstacles to thriving, and creating systems that support your superpowers-superpowers like imagination, problem-solving, insight and analysis. Action item chapters are divided into 'now, next month, and someday' sections so that you can move at your own pace, according to your available resources. You'll pay more attention to how small annoyances can foster big health problems, and learn some simple ways to boost your physical and mental health by adapting your environment. You will learn how to work with color, sound, light and space in ways that transform your experience of everyday life. You'll start thinking critically about how your space mirrors your relationships, and how to adjust physical boundaries to create more balance and harmony in your emotional life. Most importantly, this book will help you claim your agency on both personal and societal levels. As you gain insight into your challenges and superpowers on a personal scale, you will free up more of your precious energy to connect with others, in ways that can heal your body, your community and the planet itself. Ambitious? Nah. Let's get going.
