You should see me right now... I've got clothes all over the place because I'm still sorting through winter and summer stuff. . . ...suitcases I just pulled out of the garage that need to be wiped down (with Thieves!) because I'm on my way to Young Living convention, ...piles of paperwork and bills on my desk to sort through before I go away, ...a frig full of veggies half recently bought and half a week old that I have to sort through, ...a shopping list that goes on and on and the purchases must be made today. . . (I'm sure this is mild compared to many of your situations, but it's enough to put me into overwhelm!) It's overwhelm and it's common. The scary thing is overwhelm is becoming our norm. It's like we've unconsciously re-calibrated our personal operating equipment to accept that this is a normal value and it is okay. Well, it's not normal. And it's not okay. Our health is at stake. People handle overwhelm differently. Some people get frantic and run around in circles trying to do everything at once and end up hardly getting anything done. Although this may look like high energy, it actually de-energizes and depletes the bodily system. Some people get a semi-paralysis where they can't move on from what they want to do, and end up procrastinating or not doing anything at all. This too is very de-energizing. I can relate to both of these scenarios. After being so tired for so long of being de-energized from overwhelm, I came up with these "simple solutions for self-care at home" to deal with the overwhelm. They really work for me, and I hope they will work for you too: --Brain Dump --Do a brain dump on paper by making a list of everything that you need to do, prioritize it, and lay
the list out in front of you on a clear surface in your office, den, kitchen, or where you mostly work on projects --Brown Rice --Okay, this might sound silly but it makes perfect sense to me and it works really well. . . and, if you are a "sensitive" like I am - to people, food, energy, etc, then I bet this will work for you. Brown rice is the most balancing food there is. When we eat food that is balancing, then we become balanced. Make yourself some brown rice (high quality and organic if possible) and eat it as a snack or with a meal --Bancha Tea --Another balancing food to put in our body. This is also known as "twig tea" or "kukicha" tea. Great to have with your brown rice. --Think About What Excites You --We change our energy when we change our thoughts. Overwhelm always seems to be more bearable when we have something exciting to look forward to pull us through. Thinking about what excites you will "energize" you and your thoughts. --Ningxia Red Juice This is the most incredible, delicious, nutritious, high antioxidant juice - truly the best on the juice market. The wolfberries in this juice are from the Ningxia region in China - a very special place irrigated by the Yellow River - This place has better energy than any other place that grows wolfberries. But check it out for yourself! Start by comparing the label to other juice labels that have apple, pear, grape juices in them as filler (cheap and high glycemic). Ningxia Red has pomegranate, apricot nectar, dark grapes with the skin, not to mention the essential oils and the delicious agave. Very LOW GLYCEMIC. --Valor on feet This is powerful. Valor essential oil blend is extremely grounding, balancing, centering and brings you to the present moment. It's as simple as pouring a few drops out of the bottle onto your hands and rubbing it on the bottom of your feet. If you have never done this, I say to you "don't take my word for this - try it yourself and you will see!" --Peace and Calming on wrists
Another little what I like to call magical technique to pull us out of overwhelm and allow us to calmly deal with what is presently at hand. This blend is a favorite for hyperactive children and anxious pets and those of us who take care of them! --Diffuse Christmas Spirit and Orange I know, you are saying...it's not Christmas! It is summer! But yes, I diffuse Christmas Spirit all year long and it doesn't steal that holiday spirit away from the winter one bit! A fabulous combo is C.S. with orange essential oil.
