There are times when overwhelm gets the better of me. It starts quietly—creeping in when my schedule is full and my mind is juggling too much. Then it begins to show up in my environment. Dishes pile up in the sink, laundry gathers in corners, and I forget simple things like taking the trash out on pickup day.
Soon, it’s not just the to-do list that feels heavy—my physical space reflects the inner chaos. Tasks require more energy than usual, and even basic household chores start to feel like monumental efforts. The overwhelm intensifies, and the energy around me becomes so dense that I freeze. I feel stuck in the emotions of overwhelm, unable to move through them.
During a recent conversation with The Friends, we explored this very topic—energetic overwhelm and how to clear it so we can move forward.
“Overwhelm arises on an energetic level when energy builds up and isn’t released. Energetic patterns that no longer serve you are needing to be cleared and your system is processing too many focal points at once, while also adjusting to new energetic frequencies that signal a desired shift.
This energetic congestion can affect the body—leading to fatigue, digestive issues, muscle tension, or random aches and pains. Emotionally, it may show up as frustration, shame, anger, or feeling stuck—especially when your environment begins to reflect the chaos within.
Many people are experiencing both personal and collective energetic overwhelm right now. But let’s focus on what you can do for yourself.
The first step is to release the energy that’s ready to go. This clears space within your system. There are many ways to do this: take a shower or bath, swim, move your body, walk in nature, meditate, or intentionally let go of what no longer serves you.
When you begin clearing out stagnant energy, you free up your energetic flow. This often translates into shifts in your physical environment. Suddenly, you find the motivation to wash the dishes, sort through that growing paper pile, or tidy up your space. These actions not only bring order to your surroundings but also clear your internal energy.
It’s around this point that you’ll start to feel a new wave of creative energy coming in. You don’t need to chase or force it—it flows to you naturally. When you align with this creation energy, you can work with it in an organic way, fully attuned to your highest self. There may still be a to do list to attend to, but it is easier with your vibration clear and centered.
Feel free to connect if you would like to clear your energy to reduce energetic overwhelm and get in tune with your natural flow.
