MENTAL HEALTH IN THE HEART OF MAUN

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 doesn’t always happen automatically; many times, we need a symbolic act that helps us mark the end of one stage and the beginning of another. Rituals allow us to express through actions what we carry in our hearts, transforming farewells into conscious and liberating moments. A ritual doesn’t have to be complicated or solemn. It can be something simple yet deeply meaningful—an act that lets us say to ourselves: “This has ended, and now I’m ready for what’s next.” 🌿 Why are rituals important? 🔹 They give shape to goodbyes Rituals make closure clear and concrete, helping us finish what sometimes lingers in our mind and heart. 🔹 They make letting go more peaceful By symbolizing closure, they ease the sense of emptiness or loss, allowing us to say goodbye with gratitude rather than resentment. 🔹 They connect us with the spiritual and emotional A ritual has the power to remind us that we are not alone—it connects us to our inner strength and, if we believe, to ...

Closing a cycle isn’t about slamming the door shut and forgetting—it’s about looking back with the intention of learning from what happened. Every experience, even the most painful one, carries within it a lesson that can turn into strength if we choose to recognize it. At first, it’s often hard to see, because pain clouds our vision. Yet with time, we realize that what once hurt us also transformed us: it made us more aware, more resilient, and more human. 🌿 The Value of Hidden Lessons 🔹 Pain as a Teacher Hard moments teach us more than we think: patience, endurance, and the ability to rise again. Pain is uncomfortable, but it’s often the spark that ignites growth. 🔹 Mistakes as a Guide Making mistakes doesn’t mean failing—it means discovering paths that don’t work. Each mistake carries a lesson that, if embraced, brings us closer to what we’re truly seeking. 🔹 Joy as a Reminder It’s not only suffering that teaches us. Happy moments remind us of what we want to repeat, w...
