As human beings we get accustomed to a lot of things. Our life, our routine is what keeps us in momentum. But over a period of time we reach a phase when the monotony of life starts getting to you. You become moody and hate everything around you. That is when you realize that unless there is a change in your life, you would be stuck at the doldrums forever; and you are the only person who can take the decision.

You must have heard the line that one should not mix personal or professional life, while though that is extremely important. However, if you are not happy in either one of the aspects of your life, the other part is bound to go sour. There is a moment in everyone’s life when they question their lives and where it is going. If your answer is not something that you want to hear – Look for a change.

Signs that’s shouts and says you need a change:

•     You are perpetually tired and worn out
•     Hate getting up each morning
•     Moody and aggravated
•     Nothing excites you in your life
•     Feeling depressed etc.

Five ways to bring in a change in your life:



1.      Change your Routine and habits: Stir up your daily routine. Pick a different path to go about your daily life. Change your habits, get out of the box a little. Get up today, to a new thought. Become healthier in life; bring in exercise and healthier food habits into your daily routine. No matter how busy you are, take time out for your personal life. Make sure you include your friends and family in your day to day life.


Over a period of time, a lot of negativity gets accumulated in our minds. One of the key ways to remove this negativity is to be around positive people. People who not only listen to you, but also help you to feel good about yourself.


2.      Career Change: For many of us our personal lives are directly affected by how our professional lives are going. Our moods and anger issues are all related to our unhappy professional life. The only way to bring some sort of happiness is to quit and change. In a day, you are working for almost 10 hours, why not be somewhere you actually enjoy you job.


If you are in dilemma or how to manage finances etc. then apply for other jobs before you actually quit. Get something in your hand and then leave. But for sure try for something new.


3.      New Educational Qualification: One of the best ways to change your dreary professional life is to get an additional educational qualification. It could be a diploma, a certificate or a full-fledged degree. Depending on your budget and time – pick a course, that would be both beneficial for your career and would help you bring in a change in your life.


These are your choices and all you need to do, is take that step. If you want to go higher in your job profile or get into the corporate field, you could pursue an MBA degree or you could get certifications that would help you to get an expert standing in your field of work. A little extra knowledge never hurt anyone.


4.      Change of Location: Wondering how it would be if you live in another city? Well do it. You would not get an option to move, unless you do something about it. Apply for a job, pick up a course – find a reason to get a change of space. A different city means new people and a brand new life; these are some of the best things that you can do, when you need transformation in your life.


5.      Pick up Hobbies: If you are not in a place where you can afford a physical change in terms of career or location etc. the try picking up some old hobbies and light up passion back into your life.


For example if you loved painting and over the years you just didn’t manage to take time out for that; well today is your day. Take out time, assign an hour each day or alternate day just for yourself. Do things that you like. Tap into your creative side, just do something, other than what you do every day. As soon as you start doing that, your life would suddenly become exponentially better.
