Question

How do you know when it's time to change your life?

Answer 1

When your old life starts to stink (like old socks).

Answer 2

Sometimes change comes with changing our attitudes about what we can change and not.I guess it's the saying about the reality check.Some people win the lottery and end up worse off than they originally were. That means we need to analyze it first and try to make rational decisions and not compulsive ones.Finding a therapist to talk about it should help also.If you feel that something isn't right it's time to find a solution that works out the best or most reasonable.

Answer 3

When you need a change. Sometimes events or situations occur that create a catalyst for change, this has happened to me. You can't stand where you are or how it is going and so you make a change even when you are unable to know what will happen as a result of your change. You just know it could be better than where you are so you do it. Also sometimes you could just reach your breaking point and make a change then.

Answer 4

whenever you have the feeling that you are unhappy in the way you are currently living your life, and need to make a change for the better -- that is the TIME to make CHANGES ...

and these changes can have consequences or benefits -- depending on how you CHOOSE to make the changes and its effects on the life of you and those around you.

some positive changes can be: Getting rid of bad habits (like smoking, alcoholism, drugs), going back to school (College Degrees), leaving an Unhappy Marriage, Entering into Marriage, Transitioning into Retirement/Empty Nesting -- all these are examples of changes you can make in your life.

Answer 5

When I realized I was spending more time on yahoo answers than on eating and sleeping put together..Seriously, when you hate the way things are so much that you hate to see another day..I use to say "tomorrow will be the same as today just 24 hours later"..that's when I knew my life was in a rut and I needed something different

Answer 6

i think that if u are in a bad situation, or doing something that u KNOW is wrong, and u feel bothered by the whole thing, that is when u need to change your life...for the better.
u need to think and reflect about what it is that needs changing and go from there.ie: don't like your job? try and find something that u might enjoy more. not married and would like to be, try and invest in a relationship (hopefully w/ the right person), etc...
Good luck.

Answer 7

I think it is time when you are asking your self " do I need a change in my life?" I think subconciously you already know the answer you would just like some one to reaffirm for you that you need a change.

Answer 8

When you know things are not working the way you want, when you know that old knowlede is not applicable for new challenges, When everything you do brings about no happiness. When you are unable to express your being for who you are! Frustration builds, you feel entangled with old habits, unwanted customs that make no meaning for the present. When you say this is enough and tell yourself this is my life and its going to be the way i want it!
Good luck,

Answer 9

When you don't have any joy in your life.

Sometimes it feels like you've hit a brick wall and no matter what you do you can't get past it.

If it's possible you should stop trying to move forward, find out what's not working, regroup and start again.

Answer 10

When your not happy with the way things are going. Life's to short not to be happy.
