MENTAL HEALTH IN THE HEART OF MAUN

Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting or erasing what you lived. It means recognizing that a stage has already fulfilled its purpose and choosing to move forward lighter, without invisible chains. Sometimes it hurts, other times it feels freeing, but it always opens space for what’s new. Here you’ll find 15 practical tips to help you walk this path with more clarity, confidence, and serenity: 1- Accept reality Denying what’s evident only prolongs the pain. Many times, we insist on holding on as if nothing had changed, but that only delays the process. Acceptance is the first step toward liberation. ✨ Tip: Write a sentence that sums up what you’re ready to close and repeat it every morning. 2- Allow yourself to feel Pain, sadness, or anger are not enemies; they’re signs that something important is ending. Blocking emotions only adds more weight to your heart. ✨ Tip: Spend 10 minutes a day writing about how you feel, without judgment or censorship. 3- Be grateful for what you ...

After talking about what it means to close a cycle, the signs that invite us to do so, the grief, the lessons, the forgiveness, the rituals, the self-confidence, and the new beginnings, there is one central idea that sums it all up: closing a cycle is an act of self-love . Self-love means recognizing what we truly deserve: peace , dignity , growth , freedom. And closing a cycle is exactly that—choosing ourselves, even when letting go feels difficult. 🌿 Why is closing a cycle an act of self-love? Closing a cycle is much more than saying goodbye—it’s a conscious act of respect for yourself. It’s recognizing that some stages have fulfilled their purpose, and holding on to them artificially only keeps us from growing. 🔹 Because it frees us from unnecessary burdens. It’s not fair to ourselves to keep carrying what no longer has life. By letting go, we release commitments, memories, or relationships that only weigh us down without adding value. Letting go isn’t losing—it’s caring f...

When a cycle closes, what follows is not emptiness, but a fertile space life offers us to plant new seeds. Often, we feel fear because we are leaving behind what we already knew—even if it hurt us—and stepping into the unknown. But every new beginning is, in reality, an invitation to be reborn, to grow, and to discover horizons we haven’t yet explored . A new beginning doesn’t mean erasing the past or pretending nothing happened. It means looking back with gratitude for what we’ve learned and moving forward with courage . Every wound can turn into wisdom; every fall can become a step that lifts us higher. 🌱 🌿 What Do New Beginnings Represent? 🔹 The opportunity to reinvent ourselves We are not what happened to us, but what we decide to do with what happened. Every ending opens space to choose a renewed version of ourselves. We can release masks, fears, and limiting beliefs to become closer to the person we truly want to be. 🔹 A fertile ground for dreams Picture a freshly p...

Closing a cycle is a universal process, but it shows up differently depending on the area of our lives. Sometimes it happens in a relationship, other times at work, in a friendship, or even in a personal stage of growth. Recognizing how it manifests in each area helps us face it with greater clarity and maturity. 🌿 In Relationships When a relationship no longer adds value, it becomes a weight. Holding on out of fear of loneliness or routine can hurt more than letting go. Closing this cycle is not a failure—it’s an act of self-love and mutual respect: acknowledging that what once brought two people together has already fulfilled its purpose. 🌿 In Friendships Not all friendships are meant to last a lifetime. Some walk with us for a while and then follow different paths. Closing a cycle here means accepting that there was affection and learning, but that distance or differences have changed the place that person once had in our present. 🌿 In Work or Projects A job or project tha...

Closing a cycle isn’t just about deciding to move forward—it also means going through a process of grief. Many times, we think grief only belongs to the loss of a loved one, but in reality, we experience it every time we let go of something that mattered in our lives: a relationship, a job, a project, or a stage of life. Grief is how our mind and heart adjust to the absence of what is no longer there. Far from being an obstacle, it is a bridge we need in order to heal and open ourselves to what comes next. 🌿 The Stages of Grief Applied to Closing Cycles 🔹 Denial At first, it’s hard to accept that something has ended. We tell ourselves: “This can’t be” or “Maybe it will change.” That’s normal—but staying too long in denial keeps us trapped in what no longer exists. 🔹 Anger Frustration arises—at ourselves, at others, or even at life itself. This emotion should not be suppressed but channeled in a healthy way: writing, talking, exercising. 🔹 Bargaining We look for “shortcuts” ...

It’s not always easy to know when the moment has come to close a cycle. Many times, we cling to people, situations, or stages of life out of fear of the unknown or simply out of habit. Yet, both the heart and mind send us clear signals when something no longer belongs in our present. Listening to those signals is the first step toward freedom. 🌿 Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore 🔹 Emotional stagnation When we feel stuck in the same place, as if we’re reliving the same scene over and over, it’s a sign the cycle has fulfilled its purpose. Growth is no longer there. 🔹 Loss of meaning and enthusiasm If what once filled us with joy now only brings indifference or exhaustion, it’s likely that chapter of our life needs to close. Enthusiasm is a thermometer of our vital connection. 🔹 Repeating harmful patterns When conflicts, arguments, or mistakes keep happening in the same space or relationship, despite our efforts to change them, the message is clear: it’s time to take a different st...
