I have been relatively quiet on social media for the past week or so.
To be very honest, I was deep into my mind, listening to my ego and getting myself pretty freaked out. I do this from time to time. I am human and also go through challenging emotions.

As a highly sensitive person, who is actually an introvert (who thrives on human interaction but sometimes doesn’t know her limits and ODs), I am really tapped into others. And I feel everything very intensely.

I was deeply inspired and activated when I attended the World Domination Summit in Portland a few weeks back and when I don’t have the proper systems in place to process…I panic. I have so much inspiration inside of me. I am channeling new ideas and connecting with new beings every day. I live in a glorious world where I am creator from moment to moment but there is a “dark side to this light chaser”.

{Read the book by Debbie Ford by this name if you haven’t already. I am currently rereading it.}

When I have too many ideas coming through and have attached myself to all too many outcomes & commitments, you know what happens? I start drowning. My message is diluted. I am not myself. I have the wiring to tailspin out.

BUT there is hope for me, and US if you have the tendency this way too.
I have built-in resources and infrastructures to my lifestyle, and business to learn how to deal with difficult emotions. To also learn how to combat and counteract what I affectionately call my ‘crazies’ also known as depression, paralysis, fear, self-doubt, uncertainty and complete neuroticism.

Here’s some of the delicious yet challenging pieces I rely on when I am head toward these challenging emotions:

I LEAN INTO MY SUPPORT SYSTEM FULLY. 
I INVITE IN MY TRIBE. 
I ALLOW MYSELF TO RECEIVE.
I ALLOW MYSELF TO FEEL EVERYTHING COMPLETELY.
 I SHARE MY DARKNESS.
I SPEAK MY FEARS ALOUD. 
I ILLUMINATE THE DARK AND TWISTY THOUGHTS IN MY MIND.

I ALLOW MYSELF TO BE COACHED.
You all may be surprised to know this is a really tough one for me at first, but once I relax into receiving, I bliss out on the support, wisdom and gift of another magical being holding space for me. Receiving is our greatest gift as a human being. Allowing the help, the support in is actually built into our human experience. Trust me, you know how to receive deeply and fully, to the lengths that it will heal you quickly.

I CREATE MY FUN AND JOY.
I forget this one all the darn time! When I am in overwhelm, I am typically talking myself out of fun on a regular basis. Fun is the anecdote to overwhelm, and all of its accompanying maladies. Sometimes it’s a challenge to find fun that feels good when you’re off. But I kept challenging myself, whether it was going for a walk with my journal, drinking a cup of tea on the back porch, watching a funny movie or going out and BEING SOCIAL. Much of my most joyous fun is in the company of others, in conversation, in hugs, in dance and movement. So you know what I did! I manifested all three to complete my healing this weekend.

I want to take a moment to thank the magicians who held space for me this week. Charmaine Haworth, Jack Rousseau, Joshua Barad, Michael Hellerslien, Amberly Miller, Max Kramer and many more. I would not be who I am with out you.
I am renewed by the collective.
I am reminded of the power when we unite and share our collective wisdom. When I allow my tribe to support me, I empower them to grow and deeper into their Greatness.

I am here to share my experience. I wish I could easily put into words all of the wisdom I behold this week but here are some of the highlights that came from my team of LIGHTWORKERS:

You cannot be everything to everyone, nor do you choose to.

Map out where you are, what you want to be surrounded by. With words, images, ideas. What feeds your soul and makes you happy, just do that until the overwhelm blows over (because it always does).

How do you want to feel?
 I said, “FREE.” What can you do right now to be FREE? 
I let go. I let go of things I said YES to when I had said far too many YESes. 
I released without guilt or shame. 
I said goodbye for now, so I can focus on just taking care of myself.

Take the reins back. You can control the flow of money,
the way clients sign up. Return to what you KNOW deep within.
Return to your inner wisdom, your truth.
Return to how you do it, and look at it from an outsider
and evaluate & align back to how you want to intentionally create
and produce in this life.

My overwhelm, my beloved frustration in the massiveness of uncertainty, the challenging emotions, are all glorious beautiful gifts.
Every time I am here. I am blessed with more.
 MORE IS GOOD. MORE IS GREAT.
 MORE IS MIRACULOUS.
 But every time MORE shows up, I know I need to dig deep
 REFLECTION,
 PLUG INTO MY SUPPORT SYSTEM
 and RE-EVALUATE.

Its an golden opportunity at the most divine timing. It’s time to survey the scene and how I am being. Its an gift to refocus, reconstruct and step more powerfully into my soul’s purpose.
And more potently into Lynan.
 My overwhelm took me on quite a journey this time around
but in the end
I found my way back.
 Back to me.
 Back to my truth.
 Back to a new and more rooted Lynan.
Back to a new home that I like very much.

I am curious about all of your experiences. Do you experience overwhelm often? How do you meet the drowning feeling?

Did anything above resonate with you? Do you have other tools or resources to share?

I want to thank you for reading and loving and being real with me. The fact that I have this space to share my experience and my honest truth is one of the biggest gifts of all.
 Namaste. xox
