Is the World Overwhelming You?

As fast-paced and crazy as the world is today, it is easy to find ourselves overwhelmed.

Are You Being Overwhelmed?

Is the world around us getting to be too much to handle? You only have to watch television or read the many feeds on social media to see that there’s so much going on around the world. Extreme weather conditions, drama in politics, people losing their lives from many different reasons, homes being destroyed by fires or nature taking a turn for the worse. It seems to be getting too much to bring in, and for some, people are scared and nervous.

Overwhelmed? What to do.

When this happens, I always advise people to pull away from the news and social media, at least for a while. By doing so, you’re not pretending nothing is happening or choosing to ignore it! What you’re doing by pulling back is: you’re remembering who and what you are and acknowledging that you’re made of soul energy. You’re a soul that comes with a body … not a body that comes with a soul. You are a soul first, and stronger than you could ever imagine! And yes! One person can make a difference!

When you want to pull back and experience the sensation of being with your soul, or when you feel that you need to slow the pace down when life gets chaotic, close your eyes, put your hands over your heart, breathe, and say to yourself: “Find your center.” By doing so, you’ll connect with your soul, where you’ll discover that you’re able to let go and relax into the present. Once you center yourself, you can send out that peaceful healing energy and thoughts to others.

We often forget that we’re all made up of energy, and we’re all quite powerful. How often do you get out of bed in a bad mood, only to find out that the car won’t start, an electrical appliance in your home won’t work, and then some other calamity happens? One thing leads to another, and by the end of the day, you find yourself saying: “What a day I had, and I want to forget it ever happened!”

Our energy and the energy of those around us can affect us positively or negatively. I want you to be aware of what you’re sending out and what you to let in. The choice is and always will be yours. Now, how about trying to send out good thoughts to others?

John’s Lesson to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed

Just for today, how about sending out a positive thought or blessing to everyone you encounter – no matter who it is or whether you know them or not. You never know whether this could create a ripple effect that will reach many people in their lives and beyond. You can do this anywhere and at any time. The person does not have to be in front of you. Here are a few scenarios to consider:

If you hear an ambulance in the distance, stop for a moment and send them energy.

If you hear about a family in need, stop for a moment and send them energy.

If you find out a neighbor is about to pass, stop for a moment and send them energy to make it a peaceful passing.

If there’s trouble in another country due to a disaster, you can send those who live their energy to help their suffering.

It doesn’t have to be an illness, an accident, or a disaster for you to send healing energy. You can even send healing energy to a difficult situation. If a friend of yours is separating from their spouse, or there’s a bad work environment, they could enjoy a little healing thought or intention. There are no limits once you develop a healing consciousness. As you’ve heard me say all too often: “We are all connected. You can make a difference!”

Live a Soul-filled life!
