Knowing When It’s Time: Triggers for Making a Change in Your Life

Making a change in life can be a daunting task. Whether it’s switching careers, ending a relationship, or relocating to a new city or country, the thought of leaving your comfort zone can be overwhelming.

In sessions with my clients, I am often asked, “When do I know that it is time for me to make a change?” so in this blog post, I will explore two of the most common triggers I noticed that indicate when it’s time to make a change in your life. From feeling bored and unfulfilled to being fed up with a situation, these triggers can help you identify when it’s time to take action.

I will also provide some questions and journaling prompts to help you reflect on your decision and ensure that it’s the right one for you. By the end of this post, you’ll have a better understanding of when it’s time to make a change and how to approach the decision-making process.

The first trigger is when you feel that you’ve done your part, and there’s nothing left for you to do. This is a feeling of stagnation and boredom that can creep up on you, leaving you feeling unfulfilled. For example, if you’ve been in the same job for several years, and you’re no longer learning anything new, it may be time to consider a change.
