Cerrar ciclos para avanzar | Closing cycles to move forward [Esp-Eng]

Hello friends of the @Holos&Lotus community, I hope you are having a great start of the year. Our friend @miriannalis, has proposed us an initiative on a very important topic which is: “Closing cycles for new beginnings”. I think that many times, as she says, we set many goals, but we don't take the time to finish or overcome something that has been left unfinished.

It is difficult to start over if we have not overcome or put an end to a stage or situation in our life, for example, when I changed universities, I could not adapt because I kept comparing it with the other one and that prevented me from enjoying everything as it should be. After I let go of that, I was able to enjoy my college life more.

Now that we have started a new year, I want to leave some things in the past in order to be in a better situation. Among those things is the lack of self-confidence, that's a big problem I have, I'm a little ashamed to say it, but it's a reality. To overcome it, the first step is acceptance. It's something I want to improve because I would like to be seen as someone who is confident and can be trusted. A lot of people treat me like I'm a teenager or don't take me seriously and I think one of the reasons is because of a lack of confidence, so I'm going to improve that.

I want to leave in the past the consumption of sugar in large quantities, that doesn't mean that I will stop consuming it, however, I must reduce it quite a lot so that I can improve my health. One of my goals is to have a healthier life, so quitting that habit of eating sweet things when I am stressed, tired or anxious would be a good thing for me.

I am afraid of change, or rather of going out of my comfort zone. Everything is fine as long as they are not too big changes, since it costs me a world to go into unknown territory, and that stems from the fear of failure. For this new year I would like to be more adventurous and accept the changes that are necessary to move forward in my life. This will not only help me in my personal life, but also in my professional life.

Closing cycles can sometimes be very difficult, it all depends on what you want to overcome and the determination of the person, as each of us have our time to do things. The first thing that should be done to be able to close cycles is to define very well what we want to overcome, to have it very clear and to recognize that it is something that we must leave behind. This will require us to be honest with ourselves and reflect on how it is holding us back or hindering us from moving forward.

Then we must forgive ourselves or those who need to be forgiven. Sometimes it is difficult to forgive, but not doing so will hold us back from our goal of overcoming. Then we must get rid of all the physical memories, we cannot get over your ex if we have a box full of his or her gifts and photos. Also, we must thank ourselves for everything we learned, since we learn from everything in life and that makes us grow as people.

Finally, we have to create a clear objective for the future, as we already have a previous experience, we must act in accordance with what we learned in order not to make the same mistakes.
