Dear One,
Yes, I have told you in the past that changes are good for you. They cause you to stretch your mental faculties and welcome new and beneficial emotional stimuli. As a result you grow in wisdom, knowledge and in favor with more and more people.
There are instances, however, where too much change in too many different areas can often be detrimental to your entire physical, mental and spiritual systems. There can be too much stress if changes are in multiple areas of your life at the same time with no prolonged relief. Later there will be post traumatic stress that robs you of energy and stability. You may not be conscious of its descent into your whole being until some areas of your life begin to fail, either your health, your emotional soundness or your spiritual well-being.
When too many quick changes descend on you, you often can't deduce the reason for the exhaustion and emotional swings until you come to Me and ask for My insight into what has gone wrong. When I tell you that there have been too many changes too fast with no rest or relief, you understand the cause.
The cure for all exhaustion, either physical or emotional, is to relax, rest and treat yourself to some meditation time with complete R and R.
From your mediation and your reasoning with Me, you will begin to hear words that bring peace and joy to you, which will slowly heal the frazzled emotions that were caused by too much change coming too soon.
Being overwhelmed is the precursor to all traumatic stress effects.
When you are at the point of being overwhelmed, it's time to stop, look and listen. Stop the overabundance of activities or work. Look at what is happening in your life. Recognize the stress factors. Stop what has plunged you over the top emotionally. Then listen to My Spirit tell you what is logical and beneficial for you to accomplish. Follow up with doing nothing that you are not convinced is beneficial to your emotional health.
You can't love others if you don't love yourself enough to gauge what is good for you.
Very often your spiritual enemies have brought the overabundance of activities into your life to defeat you. Learn to recognize that truth.
I can tell you what is extraneous and will lead to exhaustion. I can also tell you what is necessary to accomplish that will benefit you and your family.
I want you physically and emotionally sound. As a result you will be a beacon of light and love in a busy and dark world.
Love, God
