Feeling Overwhelmed?

 “Take action on the opportunity that contains the highest excitement.”
-Bashar as channeled by Darryl Anka in “The Formula”
 
Feeling overwhelmed? Just take the next step.

That’s all we ever have to do. Most especially when we’re feeling tired or overwhelmed and there is a lot to get done, it all just looks like too much and we’d like to curl up in bed and shut out the world. That’s when all we need to get done is the next step and leave the rest of it up to God.

What does that look like today?

It feels like letting go of the need to keep everything in mind at once and the feeling that we’ve got to hold it all together to make sure everything comes out alright. It feels like letting go, relaxing the need to hold it all together. It feels like release.

Then we can focus on one thing at a time. Just one, the one that feels the most important at this time. What’s that next step? One step, one action, one focus. That’s all you have to do right now. You can let go of everything else. You can hand all your other responsibilities over to God until you are ready to take them back one at a time, when they become the next step. When you are ready you can pick up the next piece and ask yourself, “What’s the next step?” Then you take that action. You don’t have to plan it all out. You don’t have to keep it all in mind. You can let it all go and be fully present with what you’re doing now. That means trusting God with all the rest.

That is often the sticking point for our ego selves. They want to be in charge of it all. They want to make sure everything comes out alright. They are afraid if they don’t have a finger in all the different pies that compose our lives that something will go wrong or worse, everything will fall apart. They feel they’ve got to hold on tight and make sure everything stays secure.

“Educate your ego to work with you.”
-Red Feather

But what if we give our ego selves the job of keeping track of where we are now, staying fully connected to our present moment? Their job can be to know exactly where we are at this moment in each area of our lives, staying connected to the feelings and perceptions of right now.  

If we look at this from the perspective of subconscious, conscious and superconscious minds, the superconscious knows the big picture and guides us through intuitive knowing and synchronicity.

The subconscious receives the intuitive knowing as feelings.

The conscious mind keeps track of the logic and the recognition of the synchronicities we encounter.

The three work together to make clear the next step to take.

The conscious mind turns the head to look at whatever area is to be addressed. The subconscious mind feels into the area and through intuitive direction from the superconscious mind feels good about whatever is the best next step. It’s the step that feels the best. The conscious mind may contradict and say another step is more logical, but the subconscious mind receives the intuitive guidance of the superconscious mind and feels the best next step.

And that's all you ever need to do, your best next step.

Your Spiritual Toolbox

​If you are feeling overwhelmed, tired, buried beneath responsibilities, support yourself by focusing upon just one thing at a time.

Start by asking your three selves to work in harmony and alignment throughout your day today.

Ask your conscious mind to decide what area of your life you want to take action in at this time. Mentally put all other areas on hold. A lovely mental image for this is to imagine handing over all areas of your life except the one you are currently focused on to your guardian angel. See yourself piling boxes of these areas into your guardian angel’s capable hands and thanking him/her for holding and keeping them safe for you.

Now ask your superconscious mind, “What is my next step?” Then ask your subconscious mind to show you that next step by what feels best.
​
Take whatever action you can on the best feeling part of that next step.
