Affirmations:
“I can comfortably handle the responsibilities that come with doing my life’s work. My workload is manageable, my tasks are do-able and I have all the help I need. I am confident and all is under control.” ~ Astrid Lee Reiki Master
"Those who are doing good work, are following the calling of their life and who hope to do something of importance, and this often for the benefit of humanity. At times there may be periods of depression when they feel that the task they have undertaken is too difficult, and not within the power of a human being." – Dr. Edward Bach

Elm ~ Bach Flower Remedies for Adults
Elm is for those who feel overwhelmed by their workload. Usually competent and capable, they momentarily lose confidence and become despondent. Elm types make good managers and are often in positions of responsibility, concerned with the welfare of others, eg. doctors, teachers, therapists, heads of industry.
Elm is indicated when these capable people suddenly feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities and feel unable to deal with them or keep up with events; this is often brought about by taking on too much work without taking care of themselves. As a result they feel depressed and exhausted, with a temporary loss of self-esteem. Even a momentary doubt of their own abilities causes them to feel weak and debilitated.
The positive potential is restoration of one’s normal capable personality, and a return to efficiency and self-assurance. Problems are seen in perspective and the person takes on only as much as he or she can cope with, taking time to look after his or her own needs.
