Closing the year by closing cycles 🥂

How to Close a cycles and Start Anew?

Today, we embark on a journey of inner transformation to understand how to fully close a chapter and begin 2024 anew. According to Dr. Natalia Ruiz, closing a cycle involves two crucial levels: the forma closure and the substantive closure.

Forma Closure: This level manifests in tangible actions like changing jobs, starting a new relationship, or moving to a different city. Let's say that's the easier part, right? We all do it and celebrate it as the perfect closure, initiating a new season. However, there is no real closure unless the substantive closure is integrated. That's the crux of the matter, related to the patterns you keep repeating in every situation.

TRY THIS OUT

1. Understand:

   Start by identifying patterns in your life. Are you repeating similar situations without realizing it? For example, changing jobs but facing similar issues with bosses or felling demotivated again. Or starting a new romantic relationship but feeling lonely or jealous again. We all know someone who no relationship ever works out for them and “always meets the same person". 🤔

   Recognize the patterns that made you leave your previous situation. Reflect on how you feel in different relationships or situations and look for emotions confirming certain events in your history.

   2. Accept:

   Accept your story without judgment and be thankful for the experiences that shaped you. Acceptance allows personal integration and transformation. Recognize that we are beings of light and shadow, leading to progress with integrity. 🌈

   3. Forgiveness and Letting Go:

   Some cycles persist because we haven't freed ourselves from resentment. Ask yourself: What benefit does holding onto resentment bring? Forgiveness isn't absolving others but incorporating the dimension of error into our lives. Accept that everyone makes mistakes, including ourselves. Forgive and forgiving yourself and freeing yourself from guilt are part of the process. 🧚‍♀️
