Today on The Effortless Life.
Freeing yourself from overwhelm.
I see you.
Treading water.
Fighting for air.
Trying to stay afloat.
In the darkness.
Calling for help but no one hears.
I see you.
The chaos swirls around you as you move about your day.
Day by day.
Putting out fires.
Expending energy you don't have to solve problems that aren't yours.
But you take them on your shoulders,
Burdening yourself with others responsibilities.
But who is taking care of you,
Dear one?
I see you.
Alone.
Overwhelmed by all that needs to get done.
Overwhelmed by all you can't get to.
It's hard to breathe.
Breathe.
Let the breath move through you.
Just breathe.
Allow your body to relax.
Give yourself permission to breathe.
Breathe.
Notice in this place you are safe.
Notice as you breathe you are free.
For nothing outside of you can touch you.
You're safe,
Dear one.
At any moment when that familiar feeling of overwhelm creeps in to steal your joy,
You can draw within.
Right here.
Where it is safe.
Breathe.
Overwhelmed is just a feeling.
You hold the power to change that feeling.
To choose a new feeling.
Find peace in this stillness.
See it all?
It is outside of you.
The chaos swirls around you.
But it is not in you.
Breathe.
Just breathe.
At any moment,
You can pause.
Notice how this chaos swirls around.
And observe where to focus first.
Choose and move forward with confidence,
Trusting God has a plan for you.
Right now,
In this very moment.
How is all of this happening for you?
Breathe.
You are not alone.
You are eternally and divinely supported.
Breathe,
Dear one.
You are safe.
You are free.
