--- title: Anxious & Overwhelmed | A brid9e Journey description: When your mind will not slow down and everything feels like too much, we begin by noticing what is happening. A gentle journey towards more space, steadiness and connection. image: https://www.brid9e.com/hubfs/brid9e%20stock/Social%20-%20Overwhelmed.jpg --- [Skip to content](https://www.brid9e.com/journeys/anxious-and-overwhelmed#main-content) [![7](https://www.brid9e.com/hs-fs/hubfs/brid9e%20photography/brid9e%20logos/7.png?width=1500&height=500&name=7.png "7")](https://www.brid9e.com/home?hsLang=en) - [Home](https://www.brid9e.com) - [Journeys](https://www.brid9e.com/journeys) - [Overview](https://www.brid9e.com/journeys) - [Anxious & Overwhelmed](https://www.brid9e.com/journeys/anxious-and-overwhelmed) - [Carrying Too Much](https://www.brid9e.com/journeys/carrying-too-much) - [Change, Loss & Transition](https://www.brid9e.com/journeys/change-and-loss) - [Repeating Patterns](https://www.brid9e.com/journeys/repeating-patterns) - [Searching for Something](https://www.brid9e.com/journeys/searching) - [Practices](https://www.brid9e.com/practices) - [Overview](https://www.brid9e.com/practices) - [Inner Inquiry](https://www.brid9e.com/practices/inner-inquiry) - [Family Constellations](https://www.brid9e.com/practices/family-constellations) - [Active Meditations](https://www.brid9e.com/practices/active-meditations) - [The Book of Secrets](https://www.brid9e.com/practices/the-book-of-secrets) - [Somatic & Energy Work](https://www.brid9e.com/practices/somatic-energy-work) - [Ayurveda](https://www.brid9e.com/practices/ayurveda) - [Work with brid9e](https://www.brid9e.com/bring-brid9e) - [Overview](https://www.brid9e.com/bring-brid9e) - [Retreat Experiences](https://www.brid9e.com/retreat-experiences) - [Studio Partnerships](https://www.brid9e.com/studio-partnerships) - [Corporate Wellbeing & Leadership](https://www.brid9e.com/corporate-wellbeing-leadership) - [Private & Exclusive Experiences](https://www.brid9e.com/private-experiences) - About - [About Vikram](https://www.brid9e.com/about-vikram) - [About brid9e](https://www.brid9e.com/about-brid9e) [Book a session](https://www.brid9e.com/book?hsLang=en) ![Stone statues](https://www.brid9e.com/hubfs/brid9e%20real%20photos/Stone%20statues.jpg) A JOURNEY FOR WHEN LIFE FEELS TOO MUCH # When everything feels like too much. You don’t have to keep pushing through. You may be functioning, working, caring for others and getting through each day. But underneath, your mind rarely stops, your body feels tired, or you have begun to feel disconnected from yourself. RECOGNITION ## Maybe you recognise this. Your mind rarely seems to stop. You wake up tired, even after sleeping. Small things can begin to feel like too much. You keep going because things still need to get done. And somewhere in all of it, you lose touch with yourself. You tell yourself things will settle down soon. After this week. This deadline. This difficult period. But one thing finishes and something else takes its place. --- And slowly, being overwhelmed starts to feel almost normal. ![](https://www.brid9e.com/hubfs/brid9e%20icons/brid9e-stroke-circle.png) ![IMG_2284 Medium](https://www.brid9e.com/hubfs/brid9e%20real%20photos/IMG_2284%20Medium.jpeg) THERE COMES A MOMENT WHEN THE QUESTION CHANGES FROM How do I get everything under control? ## What do I need? ![](https://www.brid9e.com/hubfs/brid9e%20icons/brid9e-symbol-illumination-parch.png) A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ## You may not need to try harder. Perhaps something needs space. HOW WE MIGHT WORK ## We begin by slowing things down. Rather than immediately trying to remove anxiety or overwhelm, we notice what is happening in the body, in your thoughts, and in the way you have learned to respond. Inquiry, meditation, body awareness or constellation work can enter from there.   ![brid9e-symbol-infinity](https://www.brid9e.com/hubfs/brid9e%20icons/brid9e-symbol-infinity.png) ### Inner Inquiry ### Family Constellations ### Somatic & Energy Work ### Active Meditations The practice follows the person, not the other way around. ![Green Solo BW](https://www.brid9e.com/hubfs/brid9e%20Portraits/Green%20Solo%20BW.jpg) A PERSONAL NOTE ## I used to think slowing down meant stopping. For a long time, I thought the answer to having too much going on was simply to manage it better. Be more organised. Get through the list. Find some time to rest. But I have come to understand slowing down differently. Sometimes it is just a few moments of noticing what is happening inside while life continues around us. The breath. The tension in the body. The thought that says I have to keep going. We don’t have to change any of it immediately. Sometimes noticing is where something begins to soften.

You can come with a question, a feeling, a pattern you keep meeting or simply with the sense that something needs attention.
