The opposite of flow is shadow type. Our shadow represents insecurities we feel about our known weak points. We may feel bad about often being late, or about missing an important deadline. We may feel upset or impatient at times, and we may recognize that these qualities are positive.
The shadow type represents the reverse of our personality type. Introverts can feel bad about not being extroverted enough, and extroverts can feel bad about not being introverted enough. So what we often end up doing is we start to force ourselves to engage in this shadow, pushing ourselves to do things we normally do not like or enjoy. However, when we do this too often, we start feeling tired, exhausted, depressed.
Accessing these darker qualities can take a lot of work. Often, what we have to do is learn to accept we are human, and that it is natural to make mistakes and that we can't be perfect. But also to understand these weaknesses are there and to plan your life so that you spend most of your time doing things that you love and that you feel good doing, instead of doing activities that you hate and that you struggle at.
