224. What Happens When You Reject Anything Negative

It’s only a matter of time before we become “cemented” in our own routine. Especially as we get older, it becomes more challenging to take risks. Not just because of practical or physical reasons, but because we’re more accustomed to life, and therefore there’s less of a need for us to take risks. Perhaps those previous risks gave us some negativity and trauma to deal with. To be honest, most of our adult life is sorting through the trauma that was inflicted upon us as a child or teenager.

Regardless, there are certainly times in our life where we’re less open to new options and opportunities. While this can keep us stuck in a bit of a rut, there’s also somewhat of a larger problem with avoidance.

When we avoid anything or everything which may “potentially” be negative. Which by the way, is out of a very limited perception value. Perhaps the reason being that it didn’t work before, or that we just “think” without any reason it won’t work for us. There’s often times no real or true reason as to why we are avoiding new options and opportunities. Granted, there are periods fo “rest” or being in hermit mode in which this is understandable, but I think you get jist.

First of all, if we’re in a state of avoidance, it likely means that we have somewhat of a wall up. Which means that we likely aren’t receiving abundance, either. Consider that a wall typically doesn’t discern between good or bad, it just means “less”. So less energy is going in and out overall. This may make you feel stuck, stagnant or disconnected in general.

But the more profound issue is this. Sometimes negative experiences are handy. They’re helpful, or a tool. Honestly, they are wrapped up in our learning lessons. So if we have a feeling that we need to dive into a learning lesson which may not be positive, we may subconsciously or consciously attempt to avoid it.

Consider that situations and experiences are practically never all negative. There’s a lot of positive that comes through with them. Consider it like a romantic relationship. Better to loved and lost than to have never loved at all. Every situation is multi-faceted. And sometimes you need a little bit of the bad, if you want to experience the good.

If you find that you’re avoiding different things in general, you may be in somewhat of a trauma response period. And you may just want to wait until you’re feeling better to totally dive in. But I do strongly recommend getting yourself out of your comfort zone, even when you don’t want to. Reintegrating back into the collective takes work and practice. And it’s not always perfect or seamless.

I do feel that the rejection fo negativity is a larger issue, however. I spoke about negative experiences we’ve encountered and those energetic “orbs” being attached to our bodies and causing nuisance and chaos. The true “answer” here is acknowledgement and acceptance in general.

When we are so over-inundated with negativity, the “goal” is to avoid all negative. But there’s a difference between acknowledging and accepting negativity and doing things outside of our comfort zone versus doing things which are uncomfortable and good for us, and taking a calculated risk to try new opportunities and experiences which will benefit us. It’s up to us to discern what these things are.

Having a higher level perspective that we are here to learn and grow, and that won’t always be cozy, is a big help. The true irony is that often times people “tolerate” things which are already uncomfortable or bad for them, but refuse to shift, change or move forward thinking it will be worse. But evolving and changing is truly the only way to fix it. It’s always scary when it’s “unknown” but releasing is the true path to success.
