Day-to-day life can be all-consuming. The daily tasks of our days define our schedules and without knowing it our brains go onto autopilot. Sometimes the need for a change from this continuous cycle is right in front of us, screams for our attention, but we can continue to miss the signs that life throws at us. Keep reading for 5 signs you could be missing or misreading about making a change.

You Think About It

Dreaming about a different job, home, or anything means you should take the time and steps to make that thought a reality.

You’re Bored or Overwhelmed

Is your job or day-to-day life tedious or completely overwhelming? Neither is good for your health. Consider what steps you must take to make your day more exciting or bring it down a notch or two into the more doable or tolerable territory.

You Need to Strengthen Your Weak Points

Are you excelling in all the areas you know you are good at, but still have weak points that you cannot seem to improve on? If this is the case, you should consider what changes you could make that will help you overcome these weaknesses. This may mean adapting to a project you are working on or changing the project entirely.

You Feel Undervalued

You are spending your days working hard only to feel as if no one cares. Don’t allow your self-worth to be dictated by others in this manner. Start making changes to either show others that they could gain by giving feedback or showing appreciation for what you do, or you could look for audiences that do value what you do but remember …that will require a change.

No Joy or Fun

Everyone needs joy and FUN in their lives. If there is absolutely nothing in your day, at home, or at work, that is causing you to feel joy and excitement then you need to find it. Is it time to look for work, projects, activities, or hobbies that will allow you to spark joy in your own life?

Change is something that everyone needs at some point in their life. However, knowing when you need to make those changes can be challenging to pinpoint. Sometimes we are so caught up in the day-to-day that we overlook the obvious, that we need to change. Stop and listen for the daily hints that it is time to change.
