This weeks "What's Up Wednesday" Call with Flora Sage, we e talked about feeling overwhelmed and why we feel overwhelmed.

When Life seems to get too chaotic and it feels like shit keeps happening one after the other; do we ever take the time to question where it is coming from?  Is it our own bullshit that is creating this overwhelming experience?  Or, perhaps it doesn't even belong to us.  Many times when we feel this way it is almost like you just want to raise your hands and yell out "I quit"!  Feeling overwhelmed is a terrible feeling that can make you believe that you are on your own and have an endless amount of things that need to get done with hardly no time at all.  Sometimes it is the overwhelming feeling of feeling alone in life or in a relationship when it comes to not speaking our own truths.

Flora mentioned that it is important to ask ourselves whether or not we are welcoming and/or creating this overwhelming experience.  There are time when you feel like this because of someone else unloading their crap onto you.  Those people are very sneaky in the sense that they can unload all this bullshit and make you feel like it is yours.  That is why it is so important to stop and question why you are feeling the way you are feeling.

When you start to get overwhelmed it is really easy to start to over think things and in over thinking things that is when it feels like the shit just hit the fan.  Over thinking is different that questioning because with over thinking you are adding fuel to the flames with negative thoughts: "Am I not good enough" "I don't have the experience" "I can't do this".  Questioning looks more like this: "Why am I feeling this way" "How am I feeling" What can I do to get me out of feeling overwhelmed" "How do I want to feel".  These types of questions inspire action and a solution rather than create excuses. 

Flora also talked about figuring out our measure of success.  What is important is changing your perception of what success is and what it actually looks like and feels like to you. Comparing yourself to others can be a huge reason why others get overwhelmed.  We might attempt to achieve the same goals as someone else and find ourselves biting more than what we can chew.  Flora said that when we compare ourselves to others that it can cause our self esteem to flat line and our self worth to flat line.  

"We really can change our lives if we change our focus!" Flora Sage

Take responsibility for you life.  Make the choice to change thing,it may seem hard to do especially when you are overwhelmed but like Flora said in the call that even doing nothing is a choice.  When we do not have a great support system from the people we love and care for- we feel like we have to do everything ourselves because of that lack of support. It is important to find and share with people that understand and are interested in the same thing we are in.  Being afraid of what someone might say or do if you Speak your Truth can also be very overwhelming.  

Be sure that you don't complain and create excuses.  Question everything to make changes and create some solutions.  Be willing to take yourself out of a funky situation and not drag others with you. We ourselves are the only ones to blame for our crappy moods.  It was not the rude waiters fault or the jerk that cut us off in the road.  It was our own choice to allow them to take over the energy of the day and make it apart of our reality.

"Allowing yourself to dwell in the past is choosing not to deal with the present" ~ Flora Sage

Ways of getting rid of being overwhelmed is to recognized that you are feeling overwhelmed.  Then stop and ask yourself why you are feeling so overwhelmed.  Then ask yourself how would you rather feel.  Then make the choice to do the things that will get you to the feeling you prefer. Check in with yourself as many times as you can.  Set a reminder on your phone to go off every hour that says: "How are you feeling right now?"

Flora's challenge for this week is: When you feel overwhelmed or if the situation is bullshit then question why it is that way.  Then create a plan of action to resolve the situation and take personal responsibility and follow through with that plan that will take you out of the feeling of being overwhelmed.

Wow, thank you so much Flora for such a powerful call!
