We need to focus less on the extrovert but more on the introvert in us! <\/span>Why?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

After recording a podcast episode, the host and I were chatting along.\u00a0<\/span>He got triggered by a statement of mine saying\u00a0<\/span>\u201cMany of us don’t know how to take care of their temperament!\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

He started laughing, and shared with me that h<\/span>e loves hosting big events, being on stage, and cheering the audience up. <\/span>Still, the first thing after getting off stage is that he hides himself for 10 minutes in a quiet room to find peace again!<\/span><\/p>\n

He realized that this habit feels like an instinct to him. Moreover, <\/span>it\u2019s not his nature to be on stage!\u00a0<\/span>Still, his curiosity and passion pull him on stage. <\/span>He obviously trained himself to step into an entertainer’s shoes!<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s recap this common habit pattern:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Many of us tend to put ourselves into an extrovert’s shoes, even though we are introverts at heart!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Researchers can only estimate how many people are introverts. <\/span>They believe it is about 30 to 50 percent. <\/span>In your team of 10, this is 3 to 5 people. I<\/span>n your family of 4, this is 1 to 2.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hence, you need to discover „where on the spectrum of introvert to extrovert you land on“, as the author Susan Cain says so nicely.\u00a0<\/span>Why?<\/span><\/p>\n

Our society and economy is designed to educate and entertain extroverts.\u00a0<\/span>Due to that, we face a constant stimulation with words, sounds, lights and touch. <\/span>Due to that, we learned to have a full agenda, always being on to something.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The challenge is that people who are introverted face a constant over-stimulation which takes their energy, ability to focus, and joy in what they do.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The challenge is that too many people are not aware of their introverted temperament and the urgency of a change of rhythms and habits.<\/span><\/p>\n

The biggest challenge is though that too many people knowingly put themselves into an extrovert’s shoes as they learned or feel pressured to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doing so, they take over jobs and roles which constantly push them over a limit, a limit of energy or comfort leading to exhaustion or overwhelm.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Yes, discovering to be an introvert might hurt. Still, it\u2019s the only way to a healthy identity and good habits!<\/span><\/p>\n
