Let’s talk overwhelm.
I know it’s an issue because it’s popped up countless times in my coaching sessions recently.
What I’m hearing is this: “I just feel so overwhelmed. I’m unclear as to where I’m going. I’m so confused and it’s all too much. I know I need to take action, but I don’t do it because I’m paralyzed.”
Overwhelm is a typical reaction as you forge a new path, doing something you’ve never done before.
When you feel the call to go BIGGER in your life, to step it up, and to chase down huge goals and dreams, overwhelm occurs… and completely stops you in your tracks.
You: 0
Your Ego: 1
The ego uses overwhelm as a tool to keep you stuck. When you’re unclear, confused, or stressed, you STOP taking action, which is exactly what the ego wants. The ego’s job is to protect you from the big, scary unknown, so we can’t really blame it. It’s just doing it’s job.
BUT if you let it keep you stuck, you falter in accomplishing your far-fetched soul-driven goals to make a difference in this world with your unique gifts, talents, and skills, which is good for the ego, but bad for you, your spirit, and the people who are just waiting for you to SHOW UP and heal them with your inspirational journey.
If you’re currently struggling with overwhelm, it’s time to SHAKE YOURSELF AWAKE and release yourself from the clutches of your ego & its resistance.
One of the best ways to do this to SHOCK YOUR STATE.
You will not be able to gain clarity or think of new solutions to achieve your goals and dreams if you’re in a state of overwhelm.
Shocking your state means taking drastic action to move into a higher vibration. Actions can include:
➼ Watching something hilarious.
➼ MOVING YOUR BODY. Engaging in an intense workout.
➼ Taking a COLD shower or jumping in cold body of water.
➼ Playing a really competitive game.
➼ GIVING BACK. Helping someone who is struggling more than you.
Once you’ve shocked your state, you’re now in a much better position to gain clarity and construct a game plan to fearlessly and courageously take actions towards your goals and dreams.
**IMPORTANT NOTE: When creating your game plan, remember that overwhelm can result from trying to take action steps that feel TOO big and scary. To avoid this, break down big action steps into baby steps. If you can do one baby step per day, you will gain momentum and eventually get back into the swing of taking bigger and larger actions.
