This year alone has taught us that you can be prepared for a change. You are responsible for your destiny and how you build your life to the fullest. In this blog post, it will be discussing the idea of knowing when it’s the best time to leave things behind.
Should I Stay or Should I Go?
This is the primary question you may be beginning to ask yourself. In the aspect of change, sometimes you will grow out of the people around you. It is a natural part of life where this happens. Can you say that you are still friends with the same people you went to school with in high school? Yes, you may have one or two friends that you may be close with from that era but, you have changed & grown.
It’s time to take stock of your situation. Do you feel restless or stagnant? Do you feel frustrated that you are not getting the results that you want to see in your area? Do you find that the people’s closest to you do not understand your need for change? This is your moment of reflection and taking stock.
Your Plan to Opt Out
After your moment of reflection, you need to make the mental decision that you want to opt out. In the end, you have decide what is best for your life. Now, if you have decided to leave, keep your thoughts protected from those who wish you ill. Not everyone has your best feelings and plans at heart. This is where doubt begins to set in because you begin to worry about everyone’s feelings besides your own. You have to accept that you desire this change and you can only be upset with yourself if you don’t follow through in the future.
Once you accepted this about yourself, it is much easier to leave and opt out. The acceptance from yourself is the key to your success of your life.
Learn the Zip Code Game
In America, we have certain areas aka zip codes that receive the best treatment in the cities. After the last blog post on travel and event newsletters, it is essential to begin using this strategy for your living situation. You want to be comfortable where you lay your head down at night, where you shop for food, where you can go to work etc. Your personal life and safety is proven to be one of the most important things to your mental health.
You have the power of the internet in your hands where you can get access to the government records from your city on which area is doing well. Same thing with restaurants, cafes and other businesses through applications like Yelp, Next Door etc. Learning the new area through the restaurants, small businesses, cultural events, and volunteer events will help you in the long run.You are using your tax dollars to help the areas and you can use that to your advantage. Learn your new area, the representatives that live there, the emergency services etc.
As you are living in your new mindset, your external life should match that too. You desire and deserve these great things after this past year. Go forward and take it.
