By checking in with what is true for you what you are actually feeling without judgment and without trying to change anything Make space for the truth to surface and whatever form it comes simply allow it to surface Consider the situation or feeling that has you overwhelmed or stuck recognize what you are feeling and accepted in the present moment know that the state of overwhelm is simply an obstacle on your path and it is part of your journey Because this may be a negative or challenging emotion let down your guard and your armor to this emotion make space for awareness and acceptance without judgement we often have the unconscious impulse to push away suppress or ignore difficult emotions which simply brings about more suffering some might busy themselves to prove
Their worth or neglect what is really going on some may have a fear of failure and the overwhelm may paralyze them some may feel anxious or restless based on all that there is to do whatever you are feeling is okay these are simply patterns that have developed they are not you
Recognize the self-talk going on in your mind recognize the potential that you may have unmet or unrecognized expectations from yourself or others that may be playing a role in the judgments of yourself Or possibly you’re experiencing negative self-talk Begin to move out of the thinking patterns and bring your attention to your felt experience no need to attach words or labels to your feelings simply explore what those feelings are Pause and allow these feelings sometimes we may be judgmental when a negative feeling surfaces acknowledged the feeling and allow it to be what it is without judgment Or sometimes we may push the feeling down and focus on something else In this situation being present is the way stay in the moment stay with the feeling and be okay with it continue to make space in your heart for these feelings to come up and simply be We may want to resist the discomfort of a negative feeling and remove ourselves from the present moment do your best to stay present and mindful in a time when difficult emotions come up practicing a moment of pause after recognizing a feeling or behavior gives you the opportunity to make another
Choice a different choice than you are used to making creating space during this moment of pause allows you to stop the negative habit or behavior before it continues it allows you to respond skillfully rather than reacting by simply allowing the difficult emotion to be what it is you
Are able to bring your awareness to the present moment experience and you may notice almost immediately a sense of softening and ease around the emotion simply by allowing it to be with honesty and acceptance comes the ability to move forward and to grow once you have recognized the emotion and allowed it to
Be what it is get curious about what you are feeling and what is behind the feeling explore your own truth breathe deeply to allow space for your truth to surface Now is the time for some deep self inquiry start to ask yourself some questions about what you are experiencing what is underneath the feelings you are experiencing is there a physical component to how you are feeling the answers may not come immediately and that is okay continue to allow the emotions to
Surface in these next few moments of quiet make space for the truth and acceptance of what is the answers will come in time Begin to let go of judgments let go of self-limiting beliefs let go of expectations let go of fear let go of any negativity you may be holding on to this negativity doesn’t have to be named specifically just let it go let the energy of negativity go let go of any past negativities and
Replace them with positive thoughts and gratitude take a moment to release all that is holding you back all that you have pushed down any anger and resentment any fears and any negativity As you bring the feelings and emotions to the surface do so with a sense of unconditional love for yourself see what is really going on for you and proceed with care and compassion continue to come back to the felt experience and move out of the thinking patterns and
Then take some time to nurture yourself place your hand on your heart if you like and offer love and kindness to yourself open your heart and let it in offer positive energy to the area of your heart Ask yourself what it is you need in this moment to care for yourself to nurture and support you ask this of yourself often and listen really listen to what it is that you need to calm the sense of overwhelm to get unstuck to find peace within and now bring your attention back to
Your physical body and deepen your breath once more you are now beginning your journey back to the present moment and as you do you will continue to nurture yourself with care and compassion you will find inner peace begin to reactivate each part of your body from its relaxed State feel
The rush of energy back into your body like a warm wave coming over you awakening your body slowly and when you are ready open your eyes you are fully back in this present moment feeling awake and energized thank you so much for listening I hope you have a wonderful day
