You are actually not the only one who feels that way. There is a sense of urgency in the air or ethers to move into a new, higher state of consciousness and to start a new life that is based on inner freedom and power, versus outer dependency and weakness.
The world as we know it is in the process of dying off and to re-emerge in a different form that won't tolerate people who are not in their power and are not free. A lot of people are suddenly trying extra hard to catch the train that is leaving the station, and you are one of them. The focus is on the body right now, for you will need to be healthy enough to endure the run or the transition into the new you and the new world. Your body and the body of Mother Earth react now strongly to any remnances of discord, conflict, disharmony, and other forms of weakness, to help release and heal the feelings of guilt and shame in one's past (including past lives).

The world as we know it is coming to an end and the cycles of time (seconds, minutes, hours, days and months) are literally speeding up to allow us to process all the unfinished business we brought with us into this life stream. Time seems to be running short in field of life and will become even shorter. It has changed so dramatically that we effectively no longer live in the year 2005, but more in the time frame of 2008. The quickened years in between brought huge challenges to the indivudal and to nations at large and karmic retributions are hugely intensified. the new world will not be based on the past oe karma (cause and effect) but on the power of love and oneness. Because of all that we are in for a tough ride, one that can bring out the best and the worst in us, depending how much ground work we have done. Those like yourself now feel that there is almost no other choice, but to make the necessary life-altering changes or shifts.

Blessings,
