How to Clear Unfinished Business and Reset Your Energy System

When we clear unfinished business, we are better able to reset our energy system or even rebooting it – so that we can invite in new possibilities.

What does it mean to clear unfinished business?

Clearing unfinished business involves letting go of old attachments, meeting unfulfilled promises, and honouring what we said that we would do. We work on clearing unfinished business because these outstanding items can create a drag in our energy system and can potentially be a stopper for starting things on a clean slate.

In terms of agreements, these could be contractual ones that we have made with an external body; such as getting into a housing loan agreement. Or they could be simply promises that we have made to our loved ones and even ourselves. Examples include

• making a commitment for fidelity
• saying “yes” to accompanying our partners for an engagement (even though we are not that interested and prefer to stay home)
• offering to help out a friend
• returning a small debt owed to our parents or relatives
• agreeing to pay our share for a split restaurant bill
• doing our share of household chores etc

It’s easy to forget the “smaller” promises that we have made but over time, these could add up and weigh on us. We repel abundance when we consistently don’t honour what we said we would do. Our promises don’t count if we have no intention of following through. 

Unfinished business also can include grievances, hurts and conflicts that have been left unresolved. These create emotional debris. Even though we may not be conscious of them all the time, they take up space in our energetic system.

Positive Outcomes from Clearing Unfinished Business

There are benefits to clearing up unfinished business as quickly as possible. We wouldn’t want to wait till we are on our deathbed to recall the promises that we’ve not yet kept. It certainly doesn’t serve us to hold on to any outstanding item year after year. 

• We even up any score that is left hanging at the back of our subconscious minds when we work on meeting our obligations. At the  same time, we also prevent self-sabotage from taking place. In the physical dimension, we follow through with clear intent and action. We are in congruence – body, mind and spirit. 
  
  
• Our relationship with money improves. Not forgetting, many contracts and agreements involve money. When we keep to the terms of our agreement, we are in integrity. As a result we raise our energetic frequency that brings about more expansiveness, which also supports our ability to attract abundance. 
  
  
• Relationships with our partners also improve where we honour the promises that we make. Trust increases. We feel more grounded and secure in relationships where both parties keep to their word.
  
  
• By releasing old attachments to the past, we create space for new relationships or to rejuvenate existing ones. Clearing unfinished business may require us to cut cords with negative or toxic people in our lives, let go of old grievances, practice forgiveness and move on to creating new and more fulfilling relationships.

What To Do Next: Create a List of Outstanding Items for Unfinished Business

Here are some reflection questions for you…

• What are the promises that you have made to yourself or others that you haven’t quite met?
• Are there any contracts or agreements that you have said “yes” to but there are remaining terms that you have not quite followed through on?
• Any outstanding debts or loans to attend to? How is your plan to meet your obligations like?
• Any old relationship ties that you need to say good-bye to?
• Any grievances or grudges to resolve?
• What past emotional baggage does it serve your highest interest to let go of?

Once you’ve created a list, prioritise the items according to how much lighter and freer you are going to feel as a result of clearing it. Create an action plan for working through the list and also specifying dates and timelines. Check off your list as you complete the items.
