Endings and New Beginnings


Be it a new job, a new relationship, or a change of city or country, a new beginning always signifies a beautiful ending.

Instance, commitment into a new relationship would mean the end of your days being single but, it would also confer your days filled with love and affection. A change in job would feel like both daunting and exciting; a part of you would miss the security of the old job but at the same time the other part of you will always uphold powerful opportunities.

 What occurs into your mind when you think of an ending?

Sadness, regret or loss? Endings usher to an inevitable change; there might be a feel of reluctant towards change and other times you might embrace the new beginning.

How humans view #change depends on how well the element of control has been established. If the control has been clutched away from you, then you are bound to take the end as a loss. Migrating from one country to another; it is an end to a new beginning but, at that point of time this fact doesn’t strike too well with your emotions. Suggestion?

 “Dig deep! You will realize that this change and a new onset that was indeed to make room for new culture, job, relations, habits and much more.”

Change will take time; acceptance is the key! Try not to fight your emotions during that phase. Give yourself time to grieve, rage and rant. Once you have accepted that such emotions won’t be with you forever, embrace the change and start fresh.

Anything is better than clinging onto the idea of the fear of what the end might bring. Scenarios will play out in loops, you will be unsure about what you feel. Far down even you know that the ending is what you need. #Fear will always hold you back; making the wrong decision, the unknown, emotions that may arise from the decision and leaping out of the comfort zone will build anxiety all over your body.

“View the change as the path that wasn’t for you.”

Humans are easily adapted to habits. A slight change can disrupt our mood on the go. Starting a new routine can feel petrifying; the fact that change makes us deal with overwhelming emotions is what we fear and avoid most.

Ending also means that we have to rethink our identity; while situations end, the sense to explore oneself becomes higher. People take time to explore this aspect, hence a feeling of ‘lost’ and cast drift is natural.

No matter how lost and wrecked you feel with your change, it all gets better. No emotions are forever; both good and bad. Nothing is permanent, be it the contended emotion that you are in now or even the one that you wish to change. Haven’t you gone through a cargo full of changes throughout your life? Didn’t you live to tell the tale? Some endings have been for the best, but think about how much you have grown and learnt from these changes.

 “Reflect your past changes. Emerge and begin because change will always be your constant companion.”
