A life change can be both scary and exciting, are YOU ready to change your life? More than anything a life change is critical to personal growth. Starting a new side hustle is a big change in anyone’s life. How do you know when you are ready? It’s easy to stay in your comfortable routine, and so hard to get out of that routine. But if you’re not getting the things you want out of life, then you’re ready to make a change.
So how do you know when it’s time that you’re ready to change your life?
The truth is there is at least one sign in front of you that you have been ignoring or not even noticing. This article will take you through 5 signs that show you that you’re ready for a change and ultimately ready to start your side hustle!

1. Your Motivation Is Gone
Everyone has a goal that makes them wake up at 5am even though they would love to sleep in late. A drive that makes them decline social events, because their jobs need them to stay all night Or maybe it’s the opposite and you attend social events to please the ones closest to you.
It comes from your motivation to succeed either professionally or personally. But once the drive is missing, you’ll stop moving forward and you will lose your motivation.
If you suddenly can’t find that drive inside you once had, then it can be a sign. It can be your needs or wants that have changed. The important thing is that if you don’t feel the same motivation any longer, then it’s time to do something about it.
We’ve been taught to keep going even when it gets tough, but it’s okay to change and redefine yourself. It’s not about giving up. It’s about stopping up and revaluate whether you still want the same things in life.
Sometimes you may find out you still want the same time, but the way you’re going about it isn’t working for you.
If you still want the same things, then change your daily routine. If you want new things, then now is the time to start your side hustle and learn new skills. It’s also time to re-evaluate your personal life and decide if changes are needed there too.
It doesn’t mean that you have failed. It simply means you are ready to focus on what matters: You.

2. You’re Unhappy at Least Once a Day Every Day - You're ready to Change Your Life!
We tend to ignore unhappiness because it’s normal to get upset or feel a bit down. It is normal, but if you feel unhappy every day and usually without even knowing exactly why – it’s a sign.
A task, a job or a relationship can be both giving and draining — most often both. While we have to accept a certain struggle, we don’t have to accept being unhappy.
Here’s a little test you can do easily:
Once and a while, we need to take a step back and look at our daily actions. Are you dealing with a to-do list of others, or your own to-do list? There is a difference. Take a look at what you do every day, then take a look at the things you have assigned yourself. How many of these things do you do for yourself? And how many do you do to please someone else?
If you’re unhappy every day, then it’s time to recognize it as a sign that you’re doing something wrong in your life when it comes to your own happiness. It might have seemed right before, but it’s clearly not doing you any good anymore. You’re ready for a change.

3. The People Around You Are Changing - so change YOUR life!
The grass is far from always greener on the other side of the street (at least most of the time), and while we shouldn’t compare ourselves to the people around us on a daily basis, it’s okay to take a look once a while.
The people you surround yourself with often reflect back on yourself. If you’re going through a phase where most of your friends have been going out all the time, and then they suddenly start to focus on work and family, it might be a sign.
This by no means imply you should change your life if you’re still feeling fulfilled and good about it. But if you turn your head and start noticing a change around you and it makes you rethink things, it’s probably a sign of you being ready to change as well.

4. You’re Bored
A healthy life shouldn’t be all fun and games, but if you’re starting to feel bored on a daily basis, then it could be a sign. There’s a difference between waking up on a Sunday and not knowing what to do and waking up every day and feel bored.
Maybe you don’t feel challenged in your job any longer, or your normal idea of fun is no longer giving you the enjoyment it once did before. Take the time to check with yourself. Are you just bored? Or do you need something more in your life?
Humans are run by habits and routines, which makes it tough to change them. It also makes us stay in bad situations much longer than needed.

5. There’s No Stimulation in Your Life
Humans need stimulation in their daily lives because we will feel scared, stressed, and unhappy at times. If you can tell that you no longer have that stimulation in your life, then it’s a sign that you’re ready for a change.
What drove you in the past or got your heart pounding faster once might not do the same for you anymore. Take time to truly thing about what stimulates you makes you excited.
Making a life change will bring new opportunities to learn new skills and meet new people. These new opportunities will bring that stimulation you may be missing back into your life.
The Bottom Line
Life change can be hard and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Getting out of your comfort zone takes effort and focus. But we need to start seeing change as a positive rather than (as we often do at first) a negative. Changing your life can be tough, but it’s worth it for personal growth and to reach your life goals.
Once you decide to change your life it won’t be easy in the beginning. Try to use a phrase I use when I am making a life change:
“The changes I make today will make tomorrow better!”
This will help you remember whatever you’re feeling right now is temporary. Be strong and courageous. You have the inner strength to make a life change so you can reach your life goals.
I know it and deep down YOU know it too!
