What To Do When You’re In That Downward Spiral Feeling of so much Overwhelm
Whoa! – I’ve certainly felt the collective energy of panic, stress and complete feeling of overwhelm during November and December.
Now that the run up to Christmas is over and we’re settling down into what we need to focus on for 2023, let’s just do a check-in to our energy field to ensure it is now clean and clear of this overwhelm. Then we can start afresh with a clean slate – or rather a clean and clear energy field so that we have more energy and motivation to be, have and do the things and life we desire.
To gain more understanding of this, and help you to start moving away from overwhelm, I’ll tell you what I see happening in people’s energy fields (and mine is just as bad when I let my Ego and Mind take over – we all do it):
When we need to make ONE decision from several options to then take action on, we DO need to create several ‘etheric’ or potential timelines, or in other words several etheric/potential versions of ourselves, in order to check what the potential outcome could be.
To put this into English, let’s just take the example of someone in a job they don’t like. They have several options available to them, as follows:
- They can look for another job at the same level, same pay, same type of work but in another organization.
- They can look for a job in a higher position with more money. They may need to do more qualifications to do this.
- They can start their own business in the same or a different field.
- They can stay in this same job.
That person has initiated thoughts for all four options. For every thought we have about our future, we create an energetic or potential version of us, waiting for us to leap into (or stay in). So, what I would see in this person’s energy field is many versions of themselves, surrounding their physical body. This creates a heaviness in the energy. It’s like having unfinished business to attend to. Whatever decision they finally make to make that potential into the physical reality, especially if it is led by the Ego and Mind (and not Soul), leaves all the other potential versions of themselves. This fragments the energy and prevents the person from being and therefore, feeling whole. I may also see a heavy, dark energy cord attached to someone else or the false matrix. Again, put into English, this person will decide to stay in the same job (and certainly this could be the decision that best serves them at that time). However, if they really desire another higher paid job, but hold onto the thoughts of this from Ego, because it’s what they truly desired, this becomes a stronger potential/etheric version to add to their energy. Holding on to this from Ego means this person has the (Soul’s) desire left open, but expend their energy telling themselves all the reasons why “I can’t get a higher paid job, because of x,y and/or x…” Ie the low emotion based thoughts are the thoughts that created the potential. Which will never manifest if this person choses to hold on to their subconscious, conditioned and limited beliefs around the decision. This is the most simple of examples. We actually know that there are a myriad of reasons we would have potential versions of ourselves, and therefore timelines left open. So, if we add to this scenario all the other decisions and life events that leaves potential versions of themselves open – and particularly when there are low, negative emotions involved – so lots of emotional triggers, their energy field is so dense, it creates a restriction and limitations of movement (so, it’s just one possible reason for fatigue, brain fog and low energy (though knowing how things are so complex, we know there are many other reasons for these conditions). This could be a life change or it can be as small as what to buy for someone. We could argue that it makes no difference in what decision to make – it’s only the life changing decision have more emotional triggers associated with making that decision.
The feeling of overwhelm actually comes from the Ego and Mind because when the decision and action on that decision has a fear based emotion attached to it. This is what makes us AVOID, PROCRASTINATE and OVERTHINK everything. Added to avoidance – can be the behaviour of becoming addicted to things that allos the person to stop thinking about choosing. Plus our Ego may be conditioned to feel “I’m not enough” so we strive for that perfect timing or everything to be perfect before we can decide or go into action. It helps the overwhelmed Ego and Mind cope. What a great coping mechanism to keep you safe and comfortable! Except that all it actually does is store more dense emotional energy (I see it as black patches) in the physical body.
Next Steps to Take To Solve This:
The key to getting out of the overwhelm is just to MAKE THE DECISION and TAKE ACTION already!! It is not vitally important what you decide, as long as it’s beneficial (ie it doesn’t put you into debt you can’t get out of, or is harmful or detrimental to yourself or anyone else). It’s critical that you take the action so that the Universe can move with you and give you the next piece to move on. So, even if you decide to stay in the same job, that’s fine, but it is essential that you are happy that you made that decision. You MUST then close all the other potential decisions/timelines down.
If you’re still having difficulty making a decision, and if you need to, create a pros and cons list of all the various options. In essence, what impact will your decision make? Then use your inner intuition to really feel in to what feels right for you. Don’t get that mixed up with Ego’s fear of the unknown, or not being confident – most of the decisions you are procrastinating about are the ones that mean you have to step out of your comfort zone. But that is the only way to move you into the next, upper level, version of yourself.
Once you have made the decision, then collapse the thoughts of all the others. Don’t leave your thoughts open of all the other choices you could have had. Why? Because everything you think of, with the emotion behind it creates the potential timeline – all those other potential possibilities of how your life would go by making any of the other decisions are all open. One of the first things I do with my clients is we check whether their energy is being dispersed all over ‘the universe’ and we bring these fragments back to them to create a starting point on making them whole and sovereign again.
Here’s the thing – the moment you make a decision and go into action, the Universe is then able to help you – if you watch out for the synchronicities placed from your Soul in font of you, you will very quickly tell if you need to pivot slightly on the decision. And again, just trust your gut instinct, your intuition, just allow yourself to let go – you may need to pivot but just go for it.
You may be sitting there thinking that it’s not a decision that you have to make and this advice is not for you. But have a think about this: If you are feeling stuck or lost in what you are doing, it is time to reinvent yourself. You need a new plan. You need to figure it out. And you need to take action. Don’t sit there doing the same thing expecting to get different results (as quoted by Einstein).
Ultimately, you will need to face your negative emotions and release them. Feels very scary and uncomfortable, I know – otherwise it would be so easy. But this is the route course of avoidance, procrastination, overthinking and ultimately not making a Soul base decision or taking action.
Just imagine that relief on your body once you’ve made a decision. Think of how light you will feel. Plus, this means your body, your vessel creates space to let through more of Source’s light and information to take action on your Soul’s desires.
