The truth is that change isn't always a joyful, happy time,
but rather a time to act like things are unfolding perfectly. That's what it
seems to be for a lot of us: that stuff you have to plaster a smile over and
pretend to embrace, even when your heart is drowning.
Most of us want change as much as we are afraid of it. We
say things like, I'm so unhappy in my marriage, but I'm afraid of being alone.
Here are 10 signs it is time for a life change.
1. When
you romanticize the past to escape the present.
Ask yourself why you're afraid to look at the present, and
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.
3. When
you feel numb.
When we feel numb to life, it's because we've lost passion
and motivation. Ask yourself if you're 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 creates inner turmoil, shame and guilt. 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. If you aren't
doing what you say, ask why you're over promising.
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.
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.
Repeat the mantra, “I do not settle. I am worthy of my desires
and believe in my well-being.”
10.
When your mind drifts to better ways of being.
