The end of a year is the right time to close cycles on an emotional, spiritual and material level, as well as to take stock of what has been experienced and set new goals.
Life is full of cycles, especially in relationships, whether love, friendship or work. Closing cycles has to do with recognizing that a stage has come to an end, that a process has been exhausted or that a situation is not moving forward, but at the same time it is a new beginning of amazing opportunities.
To close a cycle it is necessary accept the fear of change, of leaving the comfort zone, of the unknown, of learning to let go of people, situations, spaces, etc.
“It is not necessarily about forgetting, but about forgiving, accepting and remembering calmly,” says clinical psychologist Angie Pérez.
What happens when a cycle closes?
When a cycle closes, the person necessarily has to assume control of the decisions. “Without blaming ourselves or others. Closing cycles prevents us from staying stagnant, without new learning and experiences,” emphasizes Dr. Pérez.
Recommendations to close cycles:
- Learn from experiences: of the past it is important not to give more value to negative situations compared to other processes to start a new period in a healthy way.
- Release: Human beings have a tendency toward emotional attachment, therefore, it is important to have the ability to let go of things that are not really necessary in life to accept a new reality.
- Assume the responsibility: Taking responsibility for what happens in life is an important step in taking new actions. “We talk about responsibility, not guilt. When you blame yourself, you attack yourself. “When you blame others, you become a victim.”explains the psychologist.
- Learn: Each situation, each circumstance, whether negative or positive, provides us with great learning opportunities.
- Undertake: Opening spaces for the new is a really healthy and healing attitude.
