Turn Down the Rheostat
Part 1
by Susan DunnPage: 1 2
I woke up one morning with a terrible sore throat that got worse as the day went on, instead of better, as I had hoped. By the time I realized it was a true case of laryngitis, and all I could do was croak, it was too late to cancel the Cub Scouts who were due at my house right after school. I wondered how I would manage when I could only whisper, and then I discovered the miracle. Those squirming, busy, full-of-energy exuberant 8-year-olds hung on every word I said when it was whispered.
Instead of having the usual management problems I did when I raised my voice with commands or laments, things went very smoothly. My voice must've sounded very soothing to them. Also they had to quiet down in order to hear me. After all, they didn't want to miss their brownies and milk!
It was a real lesson to me that my loud voice and strident tones were the cause of more friction than I was aware of.
I also noticed at work when I had a cold and my ears were stopped up that I had a better disposition. The loud and strident tones of others weren't affecting me the way they usually did. The buzzing and clanking of machines, the shouts of others, the ringing phones all were muffled and seemed far away. I didn't notice every little thing that went on and it was easier to concentrate. Not that I'd want stopped-up ears all the time, but what a gift upon occasion. It made for a much quieter world, and this affected my disposition.
If you're highly sensitive and experience internal as well as external stress, or if you're experiencing a lot of external stress, you need to slow it down.
Put up a Plexiglas shield between you and the stimuli from the outer world. Don't hear as much, and don't talk as loudly yourself. In fact cut down on the amount of talking you do, as well. Calm things down and you'll calm yourself down. Manage the external stimulation that's coming your way, and you'll feel less stressed.
I was reminded of this when reading an email from someone on one of the lists I belong to. She was talking about how her perfectionism got in the way of her housecleaning, and that when she started getting that way, she took off her eye glasses to do her cleaning and then everything was fine.
