Have you ever repeated the same situations over and over again? Same situations, different people, or even places.
So many people think that to start fresh, they need to leave the place where they are. And I relate to these people because I was there too.
When actually, what is needed is to close that cycle before starting fresh.
When talking about cycles, we talk about the life processes with a beginning, middle, and end.
You learn to close cycles when a process is over, you feel peaceful, and it helps you move forward and avoid getting stuck.
You might be asking yourself, how do I know I am repeating cycles?
Trust me, you will know you keep repeating the same situations with different people, and you feel exhausted from hearing the same things from yourself over and over again.
If you want to start giving closure, you have to know the difference between closing cycles and losing something.
Closing chapters in your life might bring feelings of sadness and loss, but you decide to close it. It is not sudden or extremely painful like a true loss is. This means closing a cycle always means loss, but loss does not always mean having to close a cycle.
When you do not close the door, it becomes awkward and uncomfortable with time. And with time you will be presented with same situation different people or places.
Closing a cycle impacts your future. You become aware of the cycle, and you choose to stop it, which helps you progress.
And this works even if you want to “lose weight” and start a new cycle of being healthy. So, trust me that it is huge to take this step. One of the reasons why it ends up being so difficult to lose weight you end up not wanting to close this cycle (maybe it subconscious, but it is there protecting you from the next step)
So how do I know I closed a cycle in my life?
1. You feel peace of mind.
2. If the same situation is presented, you are not hurting or suffering. You are aware and can shift the way you face it.
3. You no longer repeat this same cycle.
4. You live a more conscious and aware life feeling more fulfilled.
5. You stop wanting to find a reason for something that did not work.
Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents’ house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden? Did you gain a ton of weight and cannot lose it?
You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. You can spend a long time blaming yourself or the other person, situation.
Or you can choose different, choose your peace of mind.
Choose to release those patterns and deciding how you want to live from now on. It is super rewarding to see my clients close those subconscious patterns and finally feel free, peaceful, and enjoy life.
"Every day you have the opportunity to write a new chapter starting fresh."
We had a particular year, 2020, and many people see the need to close cycles.
Before a new chapter is begun, the old one must be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will not come back.
Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person – nothing is irreplaceable.
This may sound so obvious, and it can be seen as difficult. Still, it is especially important.
"Closing cycles. Not because of anger or being fed up, but simply because it no longer fits your life."
Shut the door, shake it off, burn the book, clean your mind and heart.
Stop being who you were and begin to be who you are.
