Ever wondered if there’s more to life than the one you’re currently living?
That is a huge indication that you are not happy with at least one aspect of your life. And for most people – it’s more than 1!
And while we want to be happy in all areas of life — new relationships, a makeover, a car — this requires change. Either a change in our habits, friends, or something else. And for most of us, change represents uncertainty which generally instills insecurity and worry.
Most people who want change, generally want it as much as they are afraid of it. You might even say things like:
- I’m so unhappy in my marriage, but I’m afraid of being alone.
- I’m sick of working in corporate, but I have no idea what else I would do.
- I can’t stand where I live, but my home is paid off.
When we resist change, it’s because we’re still holding on to what the universe is asking us to release.
Whether planned or unplanned change, we are being asked to re-examine our lives and consider what direction really matters most to us, and what we’re willing to let go of.
Change is part of life – whether you like it or not. It will place with or without your approval. It could be something pint-size (your favorite ice cream joint shut down), or gigantic (death, divorce, or disability). The universe has a natural way of balancing things out.
If you’re not growing and changing, you’re dying. So why not take the charge and lead the direction of where you’re growing?
The experience you will go through that is required for this change will be much more enjoyable if you consciously make the change instead of waiting for the universe to do it for you.
10 Signs It’s Time For A Major Life Change
1. When you romanticize the past to escape the present.
Why are you so afraid to look at the present? Plan for the future?
If you’re unhappy with your current lot in life, take steps to create a more positive situation.
2. When you resist unexpected opportunities out of fear of the unknown or what others will say.
Instead of holding onto what isn’t working, be open to letting go so you can make room for what will work.
Also – keep in mind that sometimes your closest loved ones just don’t understand what you’re doing. They may even tell you it’s a bad decision or something worse. But more often than not, they do so out of fear.
But you cannot live you life based on what others will say or think.
3. When you feel numb.
When you lose your passion and motivation, life begins to feel a little numb.
Are you just going through the motions? Try doing more of what you love each day and watch your inspiration come back.
4. When you’ve lost all passion for your current situation.
Be willing to let go of what no longer serves you.
Some situations, places, hobbies and people have expiration dates. As you grow and change, so do your passions.
5. When you start to lie to yourself and others to avoid the truth.
Lying is NEVER a good option. It can create inner turmoil, shame and guilt. It can break down relationships.
Worse? It shows you don’t have character – someone unreliable.
Instead of festering in these feelings, ask yourself what you’re running from and are afraid to admit.
6. When your actions don’t align with your words.
Actions will always speak louder than words. ALWAYS!
If you aren’t doing what you say, ask why you’re overpromising.
And STOP projecting something or someone you are not. Either do and be what you say you will and are … or just don’t say anything at all.
7. When your relationships feel superficial.
Sometimes breaking up with a best friend or romantic partner is the best thing for your personal well-being. Even when the past was so wonderful, fun, and amazing …
There is a time for everything, and sometimes even the best friendships fizzle out.
8. When you feel disenchanted with life.
Staying in situations that no longer serve you always produce a byproduct of discomfort.
Give yourself permission to follow your heart and step into your future.
9. When you sense you are settling.
“I do not settle. I am worthy of my desires and believe in my well-being.”
Repeat that mantra aloud to tell your brain that you DESERVE happiness … you deserve a wonderful life.
10. When your mind drifts to better ways of being.
Trust the nudges coming to you. These inspirational pushes are the catalyst to propel you into a happier and healthy life.
