Q: Ever since Covid, I have been feeling so overwhelmed. I want to start to live free from this but I don’t know where to begin and what to let go of. Can you help?
A: When we stay in a state of overwhelm, we have lost touch with our soul and we are in a victim mindset. At any given time, we can choose to let go of too many things on our plate. It’s simply making a conscious choice that yes, we do have control over this challenging yet workable situation. When we are not connected to our soul we start to feel that sense of overwhelm and that life is too difficult, too much, too stressful. When we come to realize and accept that we are here to feel “whelmed” rather than “overwhelmed” we can begin to make sense out of life and why we are here.
The following tips can assist you in feeling less overwhelmed and feel more connected to your soul:
- Become an authority at saying “NO”. Saying no and setting healthy boundaries is a yes for you. You do not have to be a yes person to everyone and sacrifice yourself to please others and get approval. When you say no to others, you are setting healthy boundaries and that is one of the healthiest things you can do for yourself.
- Give Time and Energy to your intentions. Set healthy intentions from your soul and open your heart to manifesting them for your highest good. When you do give your energy to what matters most, everything else seems to fall into place.
- Delegate. I hear people say that no one can do it as well as they can. They may be the case, but look at your energy level when you do it all yourself. Your energy becomes depleted and you end up exhausted.
- Live in accordance with your priorities. Set positive priorities and keep them realistic. Trust that you are in the right place at the right time. All the Universe to support you, listen to what your soul is telling you. Get out of your ego and dive down to your soul. The answers are within. Live with an open heart and stay centered within yourself rather than going outside for answers. Choose where you put your energy and intention toward what you want to expand in your life and take responsibility.
It is also fine to ask for support. You don’t ever have to do it alone. Remember the word whelm, and you will be living in joy and presence in your life.
