Our Divine Download for August 5, 2026 is One Step at a Time from the Magical Unicorn Oracle Cards with the message "Lots of little steps make big dreams come true." Humans are experts at creating overwhelm. We have lists of our lists, if we even bothered to write down the things that we need to do, and even with our lists we have myriad browser tabs open in our minds at all times which doesn't make it terribly conducive to getting anything done. Our guidance is to focus on one task, one goal, one thing at a time and to break that task or goal down into smaller steps so that we can take one step at a time. We don't need to be worried about or focused on the finish line, but rather it is important to focus on the step we are taking in the moment. We don't need to be so focused on the destination that we barely even notice, much less enjoy the journey. When we are operating from a place of overwhelm, everything seems hard and everything feels like it is harder and takes longer than it actually does. So we're sabotaging ourselves every time we allow overwhelm to take over (which is what overwhelm does). You can pivot away from that energy of overwhelm. It may feel daunting and be overwhelming when a particular goal is hundreds of hours of work away. But when the task that we are doing today is only going to take 2 hours, it becomes less overwhelming. As you break larger tasks down into more bite size pieces, notice your experience. Narrate your experience. Notice and even comment on how long it actually takes you to perform one of the micro tasks you've broken the large goal down into. Sometimes things that we've been dreading literally only take minutes. When we comment on that out loud, we begin to rewire our neural pathways to realize that it is not all so daunting and we can have better and more accurate perspectives of how things truly are and how long specific tasks actually take. You don't have to do it all today. Just pick one micro tasks and start. One task at a time. One step at a time. This is how progress is made.
The energy of overwhelm makes it challenging for us to move forward even on micro tasks and a Karuna Reiki Session will gently rebalance our energy to take us out of the energy of overwhelm. Schedule Your Karuna Reiki Session TODAY: Book Your Session HERE!
