How to close life cycles and not die trying?
Tips on how to turn the page at the end of certain important life processes.
Stage closures are hard and sometimes we find it hard to say no and sometimes it is very difficult for us to say no, either when it is time to end a relationship, when it is time to close a work stage of our life or when it is time to end a friendship relationship that is exhausting us.
When we talk about cycles, we are referring to life processes that have a beginning and an end. In this sense, it is important to know how to close the cycles when a process is over; but there is a problem when it is time to end a relationship that is exhausting us.But there is a problem when it comes to trying to do so, and that is the emotional component of all this. This makes us human and makes us feel, but we cannot think that we will not be able to turn the page.
For it is fundamental to know that to close and to cure emotions is painful, which does that in certain moments it is something that we want to avoid not to face it, but to plant them face to our emotions will help us to learn that it does not have to send us those negative stimuli.
The 5 proposals to close a cycle
The first thing to do is to know the difference between closing cycles and losing something. Closing chapters in your life always brings pain, obviously, but fortunately this is never sudden or extremely painful as a loss is. On the contrary, loss is not voluntary and brings Pain because it is usually misunderstood; in the face of it, we feel extremely unhappy and think we did not deserve it.
With the above in mind, let's look at several key ideas for knowing how to close a cycle in your life.
1. Start a psychological therapy process
It is a good opportunity as a work of self-knowledge.. Here we can see what our weak points are and work on them with the therapist to become stronger emotionally and, above all, not to fall into the same mistakes again. It is important to follow the criteria of the specialist and above all to maintain confidence in him.
2. Say goodbye and create a balance
You decide to end the stage, and it is important that you start thinking about what it gave you and the mistakes you made so that you do not repeat them.. Tip: make a list or a letter with conclusions that you send to yourself about the good and bad moments you lived, that will make you grow.
3. Start new hobbies
It is important to that you keep rediscovering that inner self to know that you have things inside you that you haven't found yet.. It is also a good opportunity to take up hobbies that you abandoned, do not close yourself.
4. Forgive yourself
Here I want you to accept yourself and be able to tell yourself that what you have lived was positive, and above all that now you are stronger to start new things. you are stronger to start new stages.. It is important not to think that if what we lived before ended badly it was our fault (maybe it was); right now what you have to do is to accept that right now it is impossible to change the past and the only thing you have is the present.
5. Forget about finding a magic answer
Stop trying to see a master answer to your problems, really. There is no answer to everything and just because a problem comes to you does not mean you have to solve it as if it were a mathematical problem; thinking works by analogy, and it is normal to keep memories. Please don't beat yourself up.
A final thought
Sometimes we cling to the pain and use it as an excuse not to move forward, focusing on thoughts of the past that we believe were better and especially with the idea that something negative will happen again, but it is not so.We focus on thoughts of the past that we believe were better and above all with the idea that something negative will happen to us again, but it is not so. Closing a stage means ending something to improve and that is what we should focus on.
I want you to draw conclusions, and above all think about whether at other times in your life it has taken you a long time to overcome these problems, and above all whether it is worth facing them again on your own.
Obviously there are different types of cycles that we want to close (remember the beginning) that will appear in your life; before them, above all we have to understand that some will be easier to close than others, and that for that reason sometimes we may need the help of a specialist..
