Energetic Overwhelm: Why You Feel Foggy and What to Do About It

You sit down to work or meditate or plan your next step, and instead of clarity, all you get is fog.

You can’t focus.
You’re tired, even if you slept well.
You feel emotionally flat, like you’re underwater.
You’re doing “the work,” but something still feels off.

If that sounds familiar, you’re likely not stuck or doing anything wrong.
You’re probably experiencing energetic overwhelm.

This happens when your energy field is holding too much, too many thoughts, emotions, expectations, decisions, or other people’s energy, and it hasn’t had a chance to reset.

You don’t need to push harder through the fog. You need to clear the static and come back to your own frequency.

What is energetic overwhelm?

Energetic overwhelm happens when your field is overloaded and overstimulated. This can come from external sources, like news, people, or social media, or internal pressure, like decision fatigue, emotional processing, or overthinking.

Most high-functioning, intuitive women don’t realize how much energy they’re carrying until their system starts to shut down. It’s not dramatic. It’s subtle. It sneaks in as:

• Brain fog or trouble focusing

• Feeling “off” but not knowing why

• Low energy even after rest

• Emotional numbness or overstimulation

• Intuition that feels quiet or confusing

• Resistance to things that normally light you up

You might think you just need a break. But what you actually need is to come back into energetic clarity.

Client story: From energetic fog to focused flow

My client Brianna came to me saying, “I feel like I’m wading through molasses. I’m not sad, I’m not burned out. I just feel... dull.”

When we tuned into her energy field, we discovered she was holding onto dozens of micro-attachments: other people’s expectations, old to-do lists, subconscious fears about visibility, emotional energy from her clients, and residual grief she hadn’t fully acknowledged.

No wonder she felt heavy. Her field was full.

We spent one session doing a full energetic clearing, calling her energy back from every direction, and reconnecting her to her natural frequency. By the end, she felt lighter, clearer, and even a little sparkly.

She didn’t need a new strategy. She needed to feel like herself again.

Why energetic overwhelm is so common (especially for overachievers)

When you’re someone who holds space, takes initiative, and gets things done, your field naturally absorbs a lot. You’re probably sensitive and intuitive, even if you don’t always label yourself that way. This means you pick up on everything, consciously and unconsciously.

But if you don’t have practices in place to clear your field, it starts to build up. You carry the weight of everyone else’s energy on top of your own goals and emotions.

Eventually, your system just says, “Enough.”

That’s when the fog rolls in, not because you’re broken, but because your energy is begging for stillness, space, and sovereignty.

How to clear energetic overwhelm

1. Ground your body first
   Energetic overwhelm disconnects you from your body. Start by placing your feet on the ground, taking a few deep breaths, and coming back into presence.

2. Run your energy
   Visualize a grounding cord releasing all that’s not yours. Imagine cosmic light flowing through the top of your head, cleansing each chakra, and exiting through your feet. Let it be simple.

3. Call your energy back
   Say aloud, “I now call all of my energy back to me—cleansed, cleared, and in present time.” Feel it return. Even just this one practice can shift everything.

4. Get into nature or silence
   Nature has a naturally cleansing effect on your field. So does quiet. Even a few minutes away from screens or stimulation can start to reset your frequency.

5. Protect your field moving forward
   Once you’ve cleared your energy, don’t forget to seal it. Imagine a golden light surrounding you and affirm, “Only energies that serve my highest good are welcome in my field.”

You’re not scattered, you’re saturated

The fog you feel is a signal, not a flaw. It’s your system asking you to pause, release, and come home to yourself.

When your energy is clear, your mind follows. Your emotions stabilize. Your creativity returns. And most importantly, your connection to your soul becomes audible again.

Don’t wait for burnout to begin clearing your field. You deserve to feel light, focused, and fully you today.
