Completing a goal should be joyful, but some people will be depressed and lost, and some people will be full and satisfied

The completion period, when you recognize what you have created, a unique energy of the completion period will burst out. One of the functions of this energy is to drive you to the budding stage of the next cycle of creation. Every time you complete a creative activity, you let a stream of life come together...

The completion period is the third and final stage of the creation cycle, and the achievement you want to create will be successfully completed at this time. Your vision will be successfully implemented at the end of this phase.

"Prisoner Syndrome"

Prisoners usually lose sleep, anxiety, lose their appetite, and have a bunch of uncomfortable feelings before they get out of prison. Paradoxically, after years of anticipation, when they were actually about to get out of prison, they actually had this experience.

For many, this anxiety caused by anticipation has the potential to appear on another, more subtle level. For example, some people want to have a good relationship and have structural conflicts, and the closer they get to the outcome they want, the stronger the pull that wants to pull them in the other direction. The path of minimal resistance tends to take them away from the feelings they want. Structural conflicts lead to back-and-forth, and they always tend to stay away from the results they want to create.

The finished experience

When what they want is almost in hand or when any result is about to be completed, there are two most common feelings that people experience

One is fulfillment and satisfaction.

Novelist Virginia Woolf once described her experience as her book was about to be completed:

In the few minutes left, thankfully, I had to document the experience when Waves was about to finish. Fifteen minutes ago, I wrote "Oh, Death.",

Before that, the time when I wrote the last ten pages was full of tension and intoxication, like a cloud flowing water, and my hands seemed to be able to only chase my voice from behind... In short, the book was finished; I sat there for fifteen minutes, feeling so glorious and calm, and shed a little tear... The feeling of victory and relief is so concrete! Whether it's good or bad, I've finished writing, and in the end I really don't just have a feeling of finishing, but I'm done, it's done, it's all said—but I also know how hasty and fragmentary I've written.

Another common experience is melancholy and loss. Melancholy comes with completion, and one example of this is the so-called "postpartum depression" that women occasionally see after childbirth. Virginia Woolf was also satisfied when she finished the novel, and then experienced moments of panic and despair. She uses her diary to describe her experience when she finishes another novel:

I was rarely as miserable as I was at 6:30 p.m. last night, when I was reading the last part of The Years. What a weak nonsense it seems to be—what a vague phrase; I was really bragging about my aging, so lengthy. I could only throw it on the table and rush upstairs with my hot cheeks to find Leona [her husband]. He said, "That's a common thing." But I don't think so, it's never been so bad. I made a special note of this so that I would not write such a book in the future. Now, in the morning, I read it carefully again, and it seems to be the complete opposite, a vibrant book.

Because many people mention that they have experienced uneasiness when completing a work, they not only want to avoid this uneasy emotion, but also often want to avoid completing the work. In the creative cycle, the completion period is a unique and independent phase, and some requirements must be familiar with compliance.
