Shutting Down

It happens to all of us at some point in our lives. In the midst of all-is- well, a sudden lay off, death of a loved one, or break up sends us spiraling into depression. It comes from nowhere, and we shut down.

It seems hopeless to think we will get back on our feet and smile again. But as effortlessly as a kitten climbing into our lap, suddenly we get up, and even become bored with our own misery. Just facing our day, putting one foot in front of the other, going to work, seems to give a sense of purpose, and THAT triggers more steps in the right direction.

It's okay not to feel guilty if you stop mourning a loved one's passing. Think of the best quality of their personality. Invite that quality to become a part of you. By inviting a loved one's best self to join you, you become stronger. Psychologically it gives you permission to become a better version of yourself. Many take on and complete their loved one's unfinished projects or life mission, giving credit in their name.

Financial crashes are brutal but also force us to be on our toes, practice discipline, patience, and how to take on an extra job, or budget in a harsh but necessary way. With discipline you will accomplish your financial comfort zone again.

Shutting down is our right, and sometimes a necessary tool for strategizing options. for self-growth.
