Honoring the Season of Completion

For the last few weeks, I've been guided by a mantra that arose during a self reiki session.

"Finish what you start."

As a creative person, I love diving into multiple projects at once. Ideas come fast, and the possibilities of something new is exciting. I used to think it was better to focus on one single task and see it through to completion before starting on something else, maybe even devote years or a lifetime to that one task. That's what successful people around me did.

But that's not how I'm wired. And I used to carry a lot of self-criticism for that.

I feel most vital and alive when working on several projects at once, especially when they require different skills, different ways of moving my body, and different ways of thinking and perceiving.

I know a lot of you are similar.

The challenge? When too many projects are in motion, some inevitably get left behind. Half-finished work sits on shelves, in boxes, or in forgotten folders on the desktop or cloud.

Coming back to an incomplete project years later can feel like an archaeological dig. What version of me created this? And why?

These projects don't hold the vibrancy they once did. But they do subtly hold some of my energy and attention, making it harder to be fully present with the new creations that want to come through me. 

"Finish what you start."

Whether it's the crocheted rug, painting a bedroom fun colors, or the year-long coaching program I've been in, there's something powerful about following through, fully showing up, and seeing things to completion. It requires making final decisions (which I sometimes struggle with) and discernment. 

Completing a project means accepting when it's alright to opt for "good enough" and "better done than perfect" OR, possibly even trickier to discern, "it's actually okay to let this one go unfinished because the process was its purpose."

It's done! 

This small rug is so cozy and soft to step on. I love the cheerful colors and the unevenness of the wool scraps. I love that it's finished and serving its purpose.

Tying up loose ends with intention

During this time of seasonal transition, I'm focusing on clearing space for what's next. That means tying up loose ends, reflecting on lessons learned, and making sure I don't rush past the final steps just because I think I already know them.

Completion is an act of commitment to my craft, to the ideas that come to me from Source, and to my relationship with Creation itself.

This feels like an energetic Spring cleaning, a chance to release what lingers so new inspiration can flow in.

What projects, responsibilities, or commitments in your life are calling for completion? How would it feel to truly finish them?

Make space for what's next
