Are your wires fried?
Does looking at one more thing on your to-do list make you feel like pulling your hair out?
Maybe you are so out of it you just don’t know what step to take next.
Are you over analyzing situations making your decisions much more complex than they need to be?
This is emotional overload and it can drop you to your knees. It leaves many people drained and non-functioning and with others it makes raving lunatics losing control in the blink of an eye.
None of these end results are desirable and if you feel that any of these describe you right now, it’s time to make a change.
Admit there’s a problem
Just admitting that you are fried extra crispy emotionally and possibly physically is the first step.
There is hope for you. It will just take that recognition that you need to change and that you have the ability to do so. Now you just need some good tools to implement it.
- Make a list of 5-10 things that are paralyzing you right now.
These are the ones that you will be working on over the next week.
The first day focuses on #1 on your list. What is paralyzing you into inaction? That mode of overstimulation where you wander around your house getting dumb things done but nothing really ever gets accomplished?
Whatever it is, ask yourself how being this way makes you feel.
Are you mad at yourself, frustrated, hopeless?…
Would you purposely program yourself with Negative Affirmations?

Are you beating yourself up with comments like “You are a lazy bum”, or “you are worthless”?
These internal words have power and they are actually negative affirmations you are programming into yourself – So knock it off! Above all remember we definitely want to deal with these words as they contribute to keeping you stationary in a BIG way.
After you have compiled how you “FEEL” and any negative beliefs or words involved, I would then do The Healing Codes on these feelings and self-talk.
Remember to rate how you feel about the issue first 0-10 then again after your code is done. When your issue drops below a 1 it is time to start on the next issue in line.
Light at the end of the tunnel
I’ve seen many people shed that unwanted paralysis and incorporate useful methods to get moving and motivated toward their goals again. It doesn’t have to be huge goals either it could be as simple as getting that closet, pantry or garage organized.
Once you are moving again and feeling good about what you are accomplishing, be prepared for a bunch of new fresh ideas and creativity to explode into your mind. When we are in that creative mode, and all breaks are off, we are unstoppable!
Let’s get rolling! If you get stuck in any way remember a Custom Code can help you get up and running!
Hi Melissa,
Thanks for the great advice. Self-talk is so self-defeating. We must learn to love ourselves by breaking free from of the inner critic. You have some great steps to allow to that happen.
Be well!

Thanks for stopping by Sam!
Yes that inner critic can be a downer can’t it! Self Love or the words we tell ourselves, are so very important. Let’s make those words all good 😉
Blessings to YOU!!!!
You are so right that admitting friedness is a critical first step to letting go and creating space for change to happen. By becoming the observer we often see what was right in front of us but didn’t want to admit. Your process to get moving again reminds me of the saying “how do you eat an elephant … one bite at a time!” Manageable, not overwhelming and recreating focus out of scatteredness.

Thanks Lorraine. How to eat an elephant… I love that one! You are a doll! Thanks for visiting 😉
Thank you Melissa for the article. Acknowledging whatever it is that we want to fix is definitely step number 1. To me, the following steps are always the most difficult:
OBSERVING my emotions without judging them, without trying to numb them through food, for example, or any other distraction.
BEFRIENDING those negative feelings, and my negative characteristics that help creating those emotions, as opposed to resisting them, it’s always been a challenge.
I’ve learned, that the acceptance (embracing lovingly things for what they are) is the most effective (to me at least) method of ensuring a permanent change.
Kisses and hugs <3
Thank YOU for visiting and leaving your feedback. Great to see you here! Yes accepting with love really allows all the amazing changes to happen. It gets easier as you go because you see the results… so you do it more of it;-)I LOVE it.
We are only human and can take steps back of course but that is life, right? It’s all part of the process!
