Anxiety & Overwhelm: Instant Access to 6 Resources That Will Help You Do Something About It NOW

August 5th, 2015 | 5 comments

Today, we’re diving into the third video in a very special four-part series in which I’m getting real, and our sisterhood tribe commits to sharing, living out loud, and being raw and vulnerable.

(Wanna get caught up on the series so you’ll know what I mean when I talk about “birthing a baby or a business” or “deciding which plane to fly?” Check out the first two videos in this series. Here’s Week One and Week Two.)

So often, we have the most powerful resources right at our fingertips…but we just don’t use them. Instead, we continue to feel anxious, overwhelmed, or both! And we continue to sit in this awful feeling, day after day.

Remember how last week I vowed to stop flying my “comfort plane” and get into the pilot’s seat because I knew it was time to start preparing for the Captivate Retreat?

Well, it’s time for a confession: this week, I didn’t take any steps toward accomplishing that. Instead, I took a trip with my husband!

I’m gonna be real with you: at the time, it felt great to take a break. But then suddenly, what was comfort (really procrastination) became a huge energy leak. It switched into a spiral in my brain where I began to have self-sabotaging thoughts. I started making everything more complicated and difficult for myself, and I just felt out of flow. I reveal more about that in today’s episode. Make sure to click play and watch it now.

Today is a new day! And I am doing something towards this goal of preparing for the Captivate Retreat. We’re back home and I’m taking action. I’m using the resources that have worked for me, time after time.

I want to share these powerful resources with you and I invite you to choose one to take action on now.

Watch today’s episode so you will know exactly where to begin with this list!

First, let’s talk anxiety & overwhelm. Decide which of these two categories feels more prevalent for you right now. Is it “anxiety” or “overwhelm?”

  1. Anxiety. It’s the mistaken belief that something could go wrong. Is this your state of mind whenever you’re thinking of birthing a new baby, a new business, or flying the plane you’re meant to fly?
  2. Overwhelm. It’s the mistaken doubt that the resources are not available to fulfill your wants and needs. When you think of which plane you want to fly, do you feel like you don’t have the resources to make the decision?

Once you decide which category you fall into, I’m going to give you three resources for each category.

And here’s what we’re gonna do: use one of these resources today! I want you to commit to living out loud and taking action. We don’t let energy leaks happen anymore. Today is the day we stop that!

Anxiety.

I find myself existing more in anxiety right now. I keep telling myself that if I don’t over-prepare for something, it will go wrong.

In reality, the concept of something “going wrong” is absolutely meaningless if you’re committed to making sure that every experience you have eventually contributes to the openness and fierceness of your heart! But sometimes when I’m experiencing anxiety, I still need these resources to remind me of this truth:

1. Surround yourself with people who inspire you and push you to be better.

You have to get out of your own head and into a group of people who have mastered a powerful model for what you’re in doubt about. Think something could go wrong? You need to be around people who are doing it right! You’ll pick up on their energy and feel supported.

Take action today: get your ticket to come with us to the Captivate Live Performance! Get out from behind your computer screen! Be with us in the live theater, meet and be inspired by women who have taken their mistaken beliefs that things could go wrong in their lives and turned them into powerful stories and huge successes.

Can’t make it to the Captivate Live Performance? Your goal is to go to another in-person event by the end of this year. Align (in person!) with other thought leaders and powerful women who are succeeding at the very thing you want to master. And book that ticket today!

2. Create your daily ritual.

If you have joined me in my Mentor Masterclass or The Sisterhood Mastermind, or have used My Morning Success Ritual course, you know what a game changer this was for me, and for so many women.

If you find yourself falling out of the habit with your daily ritual or forgetting to do it, then you haven’t yet created a powerful ritual that gets you results and really helps you shift. If you did, you’d never forget to do it!

Take action today: start creating your own morning ritual. Get instant access to my course and create the powerful morning ritual that’s ideal for you! (It’s just $29.) It has everything you need to change your state of mind, step into your purpose, and power through any blocks you come across along the way. You’ll create a powerful morning ritual of your very own!

3. Study archetypal healing–also known as the Goddess Archetypes.

Be sure to use your Goddess cards! Pull a card each day and find guidance from an archetype. We can discover other parts of our energy systems–these archetypes that live within us. When we’re not in our most empowered states, we can learn about the other parts we have access to. This lets us integrate and work through the blocks that we find in our lives.

Take action today. Get a goddess deck of your own! I use the Doreen Virtue Goddess Cards. I love them so much I offer them in your welcome box when you join The Sisterhood Mastermind.

Do you really want to dive deep and learn about these archetypes, how they exist and how they can serve you? Get into a program or training where you can learn more! I have a mastermind I lead every year, called The Sisterhood Mastermind, and we’re starting to take applications for next year.

Each month, we work with a different goddess, digging into how this goddess archetype can integrate into our lives and bring out that aspect of ourselves. This is also about having a core group of sisters and a coach devoted to you! You’ll develop a stronger belief in yourself as your own mentor, work through problems, and take action. Take action today and let us know you’re interested in The Sisterhood Mastermind!

If this mastermind doesn’t speak to you, think about who will be your coach throughout this year and next year–who will be your resource when you begin to feel anxiety creep in?

Overwhelm.

If you’re feeling like the resources aren’t available to birth this thing in your life (anything from a baby to a business), to figure out which plane is more important, or you simply have too many priorities and feel confused…then you’re stuck in overwhelm. Here are three resources to overcome the overwhelm that have worked for me, time after time.

1. Get life coach training…even if you don’t plan to be a life coach!

When I began my first life coach training program, I couldn’t believe how little we really know about how to take care of ourselves, approach our dreams, and shift our internal game and external world to overcome blocks and get the things we want.

If you don’t have some kind of personal development on a really committed level, you need to find a place where you can really dig in. Make sure it’s a personal development program that pertains to what you truly desire and where you are in life right now.

I get to live this life-changing training over and over again each time I teach Mentor Masterclass. I get to once again work through blocks, mindsets, damaging patterns I didn’t even know were there, and so much more. And I’d love to work alongside you!

Take Action Today. Apply to join Mentor Masterclass (there are only three spots left this year!) or get some kind of high-level life coach training where life changing resources are provided for you consistently.

2. Get a life coach of your own.

A co-creator on this experience with you! I have two coaches, a spiritual healer and a business strategy coach. I set a session on Monday with each of them so I can be held accountable and work on my belief systems.

My very favorite way of working is full-immersion. So now I’m offering VIP full-day coaching. It’s where we develop a clear, strategic plan for the whole year around your scheduling, prospecting, income, niche, and the development of your business. And we’ll clarify where you should start first!

In one day, you’ll get immediate results, and we’ll be able to sort through all your questions on the spot. No waiting for a six-month coaching series, where you only get an hour each time, get into the deep stuff and then have to take a break!

More coaches are offering this immersion format now, and I encourage you to find one.

Take Action Today. Schedule “The Intent to Live” VIP full-day coaching intensive day with me or another life coach who offers this kind of support. If I’m not that coach, book another one…but it has to be today!

3. Create sisterhood and accountability in your life.

You can use this Wake Up Wednesday series to do just that, if you stay committed to showing up here each week, and live out loud with us in the comments on the blog.

Even if you’re not struggling with a particular issue, we still need your insightful voice in our discussions in the comments. Come learn, apply the tools we’re discovering, and support your sisters.

Take Action Today. Mark your calendar with a reminder to watch Wake Up Wednesday every week at a designated time and commit to comment and engage in order to create accountability and sisterhood!

As I’m talking to you today, I’m also talking to myself. These are the resources that I integrate when I’m having these energy leaks and continue to choose suffering. But today that ends for all of us!

And when we come back next week for the big finale of this very special video series, I’m going to share a full report with you about how taking action has shifted this energy leak for me. I’ll feel confident and ready when I see you at the Captivate Live Performance because I’ve taken action and used my resources that felt aligned for me. Hold me accountable!

Also next week, I’m going to release an audio version of my one-woman show from last year. We’ll talk about the stories in your life that you’re not telling, and why we hold onto these painful experiences we’ve had because we don’t know how to talk about them–and if it’s okay to even share them at all. It’s definitely my most raw and vulnerable video yet.

Come see how your life will change when you do share your story from a place of empowerment and leadership. You don’t want to miss next week’s video!

Now, let’s follow through on our commitment to be seen, heard, and to support our sisters, and continue this conversation in the comments below!

Let me know:

Which resonates for you more: anxiety or overwhelm?
Which resource spoke to you today–and how are you going to use it?
Have you used any of these resources before? How did they work for you?

See you in the comments! And the join us in the Wake Up Wednesday Facebook Group to share even more!

  1. Thank you for your vulnerability, Jeannine, as you shared where you are at with your Captivate Retreat prep. I identified with the ‘overwhelm’ aspect this morning as I am preparing to attend the Captivate Retreat and also have some preparation to do for my performance! I have a personal coach that has been such a light in my life and also I am leaning on the sisters in #mentormasterclass as I notice my tendency to describe my experience as ‘overwhelming’. My action step is to be intentional in asking for support from you and my sisters as time for the retreat draws closer. I will ask for an accountability partner to check in with me over the next 10 days. I feel lighter and grounded as I declare this!

    • Hey Marjorie!

      You are such a powerhouse sister. All the resources you need are completely inside of you AND with that being said the extra bonus of accountability will only help those resources to unfold so you can utilize them. I am inspired by your words and feel great knowing we are walking this path together and it will be such a perfect weekend and performance! I feel lighter and more grounded hearing your declaration. Thank you sister! And btw I must say I watched the training videos myself today (kind of funny but they are actually really great) and I have both of my speeches written. So now it’s just time to shorten, practice and get creative with them! Sending you love and would love an update on where you’re at with your writing when you have time.

      Love,
      Jey

  2. Guess who’s searching for a new coach right now?! Biting the fear bullet and allowing myself this gift that is pretty priceless. I’m paving the path out of my overwhelm, giving my excitement more space and clarity, and getting so fricken jazzed to be in awe of Captivate Retreat! Thank you Jeannine for this series <3

    • Thank you Tara and I’m so proud of you for taking this leap! Let me know if you need support finding the perfect coach for you! I can’t wait to witness you take the stage and to support you in doing it with a whole other side of your unique zone of genius shining through!

  3. Jey, I love this! I feel like I have a little bit of both anxiety and overwhelm! I’m working on the latter with a morning ritual that I’ve recently refined, and going through Mentor Masterclass has definitely helped with my overwhelm. <3

    I'm looking forward to hear about how things will shift for you this coming week, as well!
