Chapters in our lives are closing and opening all the time. This is a happening all on its own. We get ourselves into trouble when we try to force events, or feelings for that matter. Especially when comparing ourselves with the surfaces of others, we just lack the capacity and omniscience to really do it. So we get our mind into trouble. It helps to reflect, to revisit the physical and psychic spaces, learn through introspection. A deeper way is through integration and shadow-work, but it depends on how deep you want to go and what you need. This can happen alongside going into new chapters, pursuing new interests and dedications. If that's not happening, allowing some downtime and not being too hard on oneself, might be a respite. Life is not work, or something to be worked on. Learning to listening to life, might be less stressful, and require less of what is not sustainable longer term. But if one is filled and overflowing with ambition, that'll be defining. It's a happening either way.
