« Protect the continuity of our experiences. Whenever possible, beware of interruptions. This is often about the work environment: not working at your computer with your mailbox open, unplugging your laptop. To allow yourself at least one or two hours of answering the phone, nor of course to e-mails and SMS. We have been able to show how interruptions reduce our effectiveness at work, even comparing them, in terms of effects on our IQ, to taking a marijuana joint. And, unlike marijuana, interruptions have a rather stressful effect. Give yourself the free luxury of continuity. »

« The "strong" believe that the sensitive are weak, and they are surprised when they discover that they do not: they just try to be quiet, but also know how to go to the front with a vigor all the more effective as it is unexpected... Other characteristics of all kinds have been described in hypersensitive people: their conscientiousness, their ability to concentrate (in the absence of external distractions), their ability to detect minor differences, their empathy, their ability to remain immobile for a long time, their strong responsiveness to caffeine, and also the greater frequency in them of allergies and hay fevers, etc. This accumulation of details argues in favor of probable biological and cerebral specificities, explaining hypersensitivity. But the hypersensitive have above all a very rich inner life, intense imaginary worlds, since childhood. They need quiet moments more than others to reconnect with themselves, otherwise they experience a sense of alienation and rapid exhaustion. They find it difficult to support themselves constantly in group situations, and the need to regularly stand aside: during family holidays, they aspire to meet regularly alone to go for a walk, or read quietly in their corner. Hence the frequency in their ranks of artists and poets, who are pretty much all hypersensitive. This sometimes leads some to the point of mental illness. For there is also a dark side to hypersensitivity: anxiety and depressive over-risk. »

« There is indeed an influence of the moments of the day on our moods. In a study where volunteers were asked to regularly record for several days their calm and energy levels at different times of the day394, we noticed that the same personal problem (couple worries, difficulty losing weight ...) was assessed as more severe in the afternoon than in the morning. What for? Because in general, at the end of the morning, our level of calm and energy is optimum. However, at the end of the day, we have more accumulated tension (less calm), and also less energy (fatigue starts to be felt). In the same study, considering one's problem after a 10-minute brisk walk made it, again, to be less difficult to solve. In both cases, it was found that these favourable changes in judgment corresponded (which participants were not aware of) to higher levels of energy and calm. »
