Unfinished business

Unfinished business refers to unresolved issues, emotions, or tasks from the past that continue to affect an individual’s thoughts or feelings. These lingering concerns can stem from unmet goals, unresolved conflicts, or unexpressed emotions. They often cause stress, anxiety, or difficulty moving forward in life. Addressing unfinished business involves acknowledging these issues, understanding their impact, and working through them—sometimes with therapy, reflection, or closure—to gain peace and clarity. Ultimately, resolving unfinished business helps individuals release emotional burdens and make progress toward personal growth and well-being.
