Overwhelmed? You bet!

Just about everyone I’ve encountered is feeling overwhelmed, myself included. Not every day, all the time, but there is more overwhelm.

You are not alone.

There is a simple explanation – there is a lot going on.

Humans are on a gigantic learning curve, and that takes a lot of energy. The things that we used to take for granted we now need to think through. Your subconscious mind runs the program on a day-to-day basis, and it simply doesn’t have reference points for all of the changes that are happening. This means your conscious mind is processing more information daily than it was designed to do.

The result? Overwhelm.

The response? Increase your self-care. It’s that simple.

You might think that is easier said than done! Let it be simple.

I forgive myself for believing I don’t have the time or resources to increase my self-care.

I give myself permission to do something just for me – I could use the support.

I can be in overwhelm, or I can gift myself some simple self-care. I choose to gift myself simple self-care.

I can focus on all of the things I can’t do, or I can focus on simple self-care. I choose.

Today, I will go outside and stand in the grass in my bare feet – simple self-care helps me feel grounded and I can use that!

Tonight, I will relax with a couple of friends around the fire – that’s self-care and it feels connected. We will laugh – simple.

Tomorrow, I will start a new novel – that’s simple self-care!

I remember the great summer holiday I had last year that was good self-care. This year I am creating an amazing Self-care Stay-cation. I’ve got this!

I’m good at self-care. When overwhelmed shows up, it reminds me it’s time to increase my self-care.

I’m grateful to myself for listening to what I need, and acting on it!

I’ve included a quick video to support you in transforming overwhelm and finding your solid, grounded self.

How might you explore simple self-care? It’s the perfect antidote to overwhelm.

Namaste,

Suze

I don’t mean the kind of grounding where you feel connected to the earth. I mean the kind of grounding that was your parents’ response to something you did. You know, where you weren’t allowed out of the house and couldn’t talk on the phone with your friends.

I’m thinking this may be the closest experience many of us have to the COVID restrictions. Most of us have never been in jail, or lived under a dictatorship, and yet some are reacting to their liberties being taken away. Others are grateful for the safety and security they experienced, and are nervous about things opening up.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot as I listen to and observe the responses and reactions as the social implications of COVID evolve. We have all experienced social distancing and isolation, and it became a new normal – in other words we got used to it. Some people discovered they really enjoyed the slower pace, the quieter lifestyle.

And then things changed again as some restrictions began to be lifted. People fascinate me. It’s interesting to witness the range of emotions from excited to upset to confused… sometimes all at once! This brings me back to being grounded…

What you did as an adolescent when the “grounding” time was over? You may be noticing some similarities with your behavior now.

And you may be noticing some similarities in the choices and behaviors of others around you.

I forgive myself for believing I need to judge myself or others harshly around our reactions to what is happening.

I give myself permission to recognize we are all navigating the best we know how.

I can judge or I can acknowledge. I choose to acknowledge.

I am free to acknowledge how well I am navigating, and support others to navigate from where they are.

I acknowledged how well I am moving through this time when I…

I am learning to acknowledge where I am at in a gentler and kinder way, and that ripples out to others.

I am grateful for the deeper awareness I have as a result of this COVID time.

I’ve heard the expression “We are all in the same boat” being bantered around a lot since mid March. From my perspective we are all in the same storm, but each of us has a different boat. Some boats are seaworthy while others have leaks. Some are like powerboats, and others like canoes.

May the boat that you are in be secure and move at the pace you feel comfortable moving. And may you come out of this “grounding” experience a more skilled sailor.

Namaste,
