Types of overwhelm feeling
7 Guidelines to follow to keep yourself focused
What you SHOULD NOT DO in overwhelmed state of mind
Overwhelm is when your mind, emotions, or body feel overloaded, like there's too much happening at once and you don’t know where to start.
It can feel like:
A cluttered room in your brain – too many thoughts racing at once.
Drowning in emotions – feeling everything too deeply and not knowing how to process it.
Trying to juggle too much – feeling stretched thin and exhausted.
It's like your system is running on too many open tabs, and you need to pause, breathe, and close some of them. 💆♀️
✨ 3 KINDS OF OVERWHELM
Mental Overwhelm → Too many thoughts, racing mind, indecisiveness
Emotional Overwhelm → Feeling deeply affected by emotions, heavy heart
Physical Overwhelm → Restlessness, exhaustion, tension
Identify which one you are facing or all three affects or one of them affects more than the other. Get clarity on it.
Action to take-
If mental → Brain dump journal for clarity
If emotional → Art therapy, intuitive dance, or emotional release rituals
If physical → Breathwork or grounding movement like walking barefoot
✨7 GUIDELINES TO STAY FOCUSED IN OVERWHELMED STATE OF MIND
Do not talk to any toxic person (if you are confused if XYZ is toxic for you or not then you can consult with me; through tarot or intuitive counselling we can understand a person’s impact on you)
Self reflect a lot
Just make your ground strong i.e. think about yourself only. (Other people, situations will align accordingly with time.)
Eat food that nourishes your body and gives you strength
Think about bigger goals
Don’t count your slow action as no action- as these small actions only accumulate one day to give you momentum for exponential growth.
Keep it simple and basic
✨ DO NOT take Overwhelm as a BLOCK but a SIGNAL
Instead of seeing overwhelm as a sign of "too much," see it as:
A call for clarity → What truly needs your attention?
A sign of expansion → Growth often feels chaotic before it stabilizes you
A reminder to pause → What needs simplification or letting go?
Action: Write down: "What is overwhelm trying to teach me right now?"
