Life is strangely complicated. You might think that you have a great idea about what you want and what makes you happy, and then suddenly, you are feeling dissatisfied and unimpressed.
Most times, though, we often settle and rarely get what we want and this often leads to us wondering, what exactly am I doing with my life?
This realization often comes with other signs shown below.
Your energy levels are very low
When you begin to feel as though life completely lacks joy and wonder each day, days become depressingly predictable, or when you stop caring about many important things in your life, then you need to change your life.
Existing in a ‘Groundhog day’ element is a sure cry for some change in your life.
You indulge endlessly
Having fun every once in a while is okay, but when you find that you are overdoing certain activities, it is time to take a pause and reflect on what you are doing.
Having a few drinks is okay, but drinking to the point of passing outcries for a change in lifestyle. You could begin by admitting that you have a drinking problem then checking yourself into a rehab centre.
Dreaming of the past
We often all reminisce about the past once in a while. However, if you find that you are constantly dwelling on the past, allowing it to occupy your every passing moment, then this could be a sign that there is nothing much going on in your current life, nor much to look forward to, and thus, a need to change your life.
Create goals, learn new skills, find an engaging hobby. All these activities help you exit in the present while also looking forward to the future.
You’re falling out with people
Sometimes, a sign that you need a change in your life is if you and those closest to you no longer get along. Disagreements are a part of any normal human relationship. However, if you and your friends or romantic partner(s) barely see eye to eye on even the basic things, or even things you used to get along to, take a deep look inside.
It could be that dissatisfaction with your own life presents itself as frustration with those around you. Alternatively, it could also be a sign that you have outgrown that relationship/friendship and it is time to cut your losses and find new friends. This is easier said than done since we don’t form friendships easily as adults, but if you and your friends outgrow each other, it is only right that you give each other space to grow differently.
