Recently, I have been hearing many people feeling overwhelmed with their lives, business, programs and projects. A couple of people have remarked that they needed to pull back and did not feel that they were able to do what they had originally agreed to.
While it is always a wise decision to listen to your inner voice; and if the important parts of your life are suffering, taking a step back is the best plan for the time being.
However, there are ways to work smarter and get everything accomplished. Even before I learned about the Law of Attraction, I knew the value of looking within. Through intensive studies and coaching certification programs, I have learned how to change that state of consciousness, being overwhelmed; and, I have helped many others achieve what was needed to shift to a better feeling, to stay focused and move into action and create success.
Law of Attraction teaches us that what we think will manifest, regardless of positive or negative. So, if we are feeling there is ‘too much on our plate, not enough time, it’s too hard’, we will certainly get more of what we are asking for—even if that is not what we think we are asking for.
Our dominant thoughts will come to life from our thoughts. Being overwhelmed is a choice, of how we are investing our energies. One of the biggest lessons I have learned by several teachers in slightly different words—“you cannot grow in your comfort zone”. We need chaos to help us see which way we want to go.

Thanks for reminder, even I can slip back into that chaotic vortex where overwhelm slips up behind you.
I also find when my expectations kick in that I feel this the most. Now off to do some tapping…Eventhough I allowed myself to feel obverwhelm when I was getting a message I ignored I can accept where I am in this moment tap tap tap
Michele, sounds like your are aware of when the overwhelm happens and then it becomes easier to tame it. Stay present, do what you can do and reschedule the rest. Happy I could be a reminder for you.
Great reminder for us all Gary. I rarely if ever use the word overwhelm anymore, but clients certainly show up with this word in the air as well as exhausted and a few other favorites. I totally agree it’s a matter of choice, unless it is a natural disaster like a tsunami, then of course, one might be truly overwhelmed. It’s an emotional response and emotions are resonances that can be shifted. Stop, breathe, notice, step into the center of the apparent tornado. Become the witness/observer to the “big spin.” This allows for recalibration.
Great points, Kathy. One of the best lessons I have gained was to stop trying to row upstream. Give up the oars and allow the stream to take you in the direction of your intention. I believe that in fighting the current we tend to get tired/overwhelmed. Our intentions will manifest faster when we work with them and then so many of the aspects of our lives flow better and for me at least – no more overwhelm. Grateful for you comments and presence in the Twitterverse. Blessings
Thankfully I am never one to make lists
I really don’t want to have a piece of paper say… you didn’t do enough…
I’ve been running a vet clinic for 28 years… there is only one of me, although many times I wish there were more… but I can only do one thing at any given time.. and the job I do gets my focus.
We draw to us, oh yes, and the sooner people accept the truth the sooner they can change what comes their way.
I use to be a complainer, I bitched about everything that went wrong, as sport, with humour, with a co-worker who is very angry, now that I see that even in jest, LOA doesn’t have a sense of humour, it just gives you what you show it you like… amazing what has happend since I stopped .
great post
overwhelm is a man made thing… its a outcome – not a thing, like you cant go to the store for milk, bread and more overwhelm. I am a huge underestimate-r – I always think I have more time to do things I have to get done. I have to stay present all the time so i don’t slip! Thanks for a great reminder…Rem
Remy, you’re on the right track. Being present is essential to staying in control of what we allow in. There are countless distractions but we do choose what we allow in. Make better choices, choose what you have control over and leave the rest to those who are affected and source. Many of my projects take longer than what I first estimated — learned the hard way to prioritize projects and allow enough time to see it thru to completion. When we start and stop, it take more time and effort — creating more overwhelm. Finish one thing at time, savor the accomplishment and then move on to the next project. Another solution may be hiring help – lessens your stress and many more positive benefits for everyone.
Thanks Gary! I’ll be taking time this weekend to rethink some of my priorities…have a great Easter. Rem
I know that you will come up with a great new plan for yourself, let me know if I can help
