These are the products I use and love.
Why this is useful to you…
I get a lot of requests about where I get my information from and things I do to get by in life especially as a highly sensitive introvert.
I have spent hours and hours and lots of money testing different solutions that make my life more pleasant to survive in a loud outspoken world.
Here’s a list of things that have changed my life in some way and products I recommend to friends and family. Now it’s open to you all. Most of the items are available from Amazon, (I’m an Amazon addict :-P ) I’ve included affiliate links here which means if you purchase through these links I’ll get a small affiliate bonus. You’ll still pay the same :-)
Highly Sensitive Person
I hate loud and busy environments. I also want to cover my ears a lot of the time. This book helped me understand where these tendencies came from and ways to deal with it.
I still use it today for reference, it’s a fantastic read and can be read in chunks. Works well in both print and audio formats.
Highly recommended!
Quiet by Susan Cain
I was sometimes unsure if my desire to retreat after a lot of socialising was just me or if others felt the same. This book showed me I was not alone and opened a new world view, a world of introversion.
I finally felt understood. A life changer for me and started me on the path I’m on today to help raise awareness about introverts.
I highly recommend it
Airpods Pro
When I’m out and about, I often don’t like it when it’s loud. I also like to listen to music,, audiobooks and podcasts. These are my favourite in ear solution.
I use these daily, they also have passive mode where they let noise through when you want it to like crossing a road.
Call quality is great, especially combined with the noise cancelling ability.
I like wearing these with no music playing and just the noise-cancelling activated. I feel like I’m walking around in my personal cocoon :-)
Sony WH-1000XM3
These are an absolute workhorse. Now going for over 2 years solid. Sound quality is fantastic and bass is nice and deep. The noise cancellation is amazing. They also have passive mode where you can hear what’s going on around you while still having them on. It’s perfect when I want to look busy and don’t want people to know I can hear what’s going on around me!
I use these at home, offices and about trips. I use the airpods when I’m running errands and on the go in a more frantic way!
Latest version XM4:
Weighted blanket
I want the best sleep I can get. This has been fantastic!
It’s really soothing and helps me get to sleep easier and I seem to stay asleep for longer too!
I’ve been a bit obsessive in my research and track a lot of metrics when I sleep using Oura and sleep apps. I’ve definitely found this has helped me but it doesn’t work for everyone.
Anyway, worth a try if you’re interested.
