Shutdownness - state of being shut down
When life gets overwhelming and seems to not be letting up, sometimes we start to emotionally and physically shut down. The world just becomes too much; we get exhausted, sore, irritable, all we want to do is go somewhere quiet and be alone. We shut down. You now possess shutdownness.
When you are entrenched in victimhood, feeling the pain of suffering, the ups and down of life; where you can’t help but take things personally, when it feels as if life is happening to you instead of unfolding through you and for you. You end up shutting down emotionally and energetically. Shutdownness is when you are having feelings of anger, judgement, resentment, trying to control reality, where the only pleasure you know is through the avoidance of pain. We are always trying to distance ourselves from the feeling of pain and loss or how can we distance ourselves from the things we know are going to hurt us.
To unravel that or to heal from that, consider this… Many people who are afraid of being alone or feeling so low that there doesn’t seem to be a way out, oftentimes experience some of the lowest vibrations such as anger, sadness, depression, denial, worthlessness. When you realize that no matter how shut down you are, your ego believes that you are shielding yourself from the future potential loss, grief, abandonment, pain, suffering.
To get out of that, is to realize that you may have shut down as a way of trying protect yourself from further pain and suffering or future pain and suffering. However, can you begin to see that no amount of shutdownnness can actually stop your life from unfolding the way it is meant to unfold. No matter how much you shut down, no matter how much you resist, no matter how much you turn away, deny, fight, argue, negotiate with the universe – no amount of that actually makes a difference in what is going to happen in your life. If anything is meant to unfold, if anything is meant to come, if anything is meant to go; you cannot prevent that from happening by shutting down. Because you cannot prevent the “bad stuff” from happening, then that also means that you cannot get in the way of the “good stuff” happening.
No amount of shutdownness can prevent any potential adversity and no amount of shutdownness can prevent the universe from bringing you exactly what you are destined to receive at the exact moment you are meant to receive it. Shutdownness cannot stop the potential pain and also cannot interrupt the goodness of your destiny. So what is the point of being shut down. If shutting down doesn’t prevent pain and cannot interrupt pleasure, then why not just be happy?
You may lose, you may have to start all over again, it might be painful, inconvenient, it might be frustrating and confusing, but there is no benefit to shutting down throughout any of this. The reason you are happy is not because things are going your way, not because you have money in the bank, not because you are popular in your profession, not because of how anything is arranged in your life; you are only happy because there is no point in shutting down.
There is no benefit to shutting down. Shutting down is not protecting anything; not preventing anything and certainly not getting in the way of the all things that you desire.
Shutting down is negative vibration – negative energy. The reason people believe that negative energy can interrupt the manifestation of positive things, is because of the inherent belief that positive and negative energies have the same capacity of power. Positive energy is way more powerful than negative energy.
Positive energy is so powerful that from the heart that it radiates from, it has the power to transform the giver and the receiver and even the witnesses of giving and receiving at the same time! Negativity only has the power to primarily toxify the energy field of the giver of negativity.
There is no value to shutting down. Shutting down does not protect you from pain and does not interrupt the goodness and blessings that you are always meant to find. Happiness is caused by not being in a relationship with shutting down. Shutting down robs you of the opportunity to positively affect the energy field.
