Signs That It Is Time to Start Over 

Experiencing the feeling of being stuck, lost, or overall burnt out is something that all of us will 
encounter at least once throughout our lives. Feeling as if we've hit a brick wall in our 
personal or professional lives, and being unsure about the next steps that we need to make to 
move forward. 

This is a difficult time for anybody, and ultimately it can lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, and 
depression – just to name a few. However, it's important to understand that these feelings are 
entirely natural, and they're often a great indication that it's time to “start over” so to say.

Starting over can be an overwhelming task, and truth be told is requires a bit of courage and 
some determination to carry it out. At the same time, it's often the best path to take if we want 
to find true happiness and fulfillment in our lives.

In the following paragraphs, we'll discover just a few of the signs that you may experience that 
should tell you that it is time to start over.


You Feel Unhappy and Unfulfilled

If you happen to be feeling unhappy and rather unfulfilled in your professional or your 
personal life, it could be a sign that something needs to change in some way.
We all have differing goals and various aspirations in life, and if we are not living the life that 
we truly want for ourselves, we will never be completely happy. There's plenty that goes into 
that, and we could read deeper into it – however for the sake of this point, let's leave it at that.

At the end of the day, if you're finding that you constantly feel unfulfilled, then it's probably 
time to start over and make changes that will bring you ever closer to your goals in life.


You Have Lost Your Passion

We all know that passion is what gives us the drive to push forward towards our goals and our 
dreams. However, if you have unfortunately lost your passion for what is that you do, then it's 
a sign that you need to make an adjustment in your life.

It's important to take a step back and re-evaluate your life to figure out what it is that you are 
truly and honestly passionate about. Once you have identified what makes you tick, you can 
begin to start over and start to focus your energy on actually pursuing it.


You Are Stuck in a Rut

Here comes a big one, and it happens to all of us more often than we like to admit publicly. If 
you're feeling like you are stuck in a rut, feeling as if you're doing the same thing day after 
day, then it's time to make some changes.

We all need excitement and variety throughout our lives, and if we're just not getting it, we'll 
end up becoming bored, exhausted, and uninspired.

Starting over, so to speak, can help you to break out of your routine and as a result discover 
fresh new opportunities that you may not have even considered previously.


You Are Facing a Major Life Change

Major life changes include all sorts of things like the passing of a loved one, a career change 
or job loss, a major break up or divorce, or even something like moving to a new area. These 
can rightfully be increasingly difficult to deal with, especially if they're not something you were 
anticipating.

At the same time, these happenings can also be an opportunity for you to start over and 
cultivate a new life for yourself. Of course it can be challenging to let go of the past, overcome 
various situations, and so on – it's important to EMBRACE this kind of change. Use this as a 
chance to create a much better tomorrow for yourself.


You Are Not Growing or Learning

This is an interesting one, because it manifests itself in a number of ways. If you're not 
learning or growing in your personal or your professional life, it can certainly be a sign that 
you need to make some sort of change.

Just like flowers in nature, we all need to bloom and re-invigorate ourselves. It's essential to 
continue to grow and develop ourselves as a person in order to reach our full potential.
Ask yourself if you're feeling as though you're not learning anything new or presenting 
yourself with challenges. If the answer is yes, then it's definitely time to consider starting over 
and seeking out fresh unique opportunities that will assist you with growing and developing as 
a person.


Finally Starting Over 

Ultimately, if you're experiencing any of the both signs or symptoms, you really should take 
some time to figure out if it's right for you to start over.  Yes, starting over can be a daunting 
task, but more often than not it's the best route you can take if you want to find your true 
happiness and fulfill yourself in your life.

It's very crucial that you take the time to reflect upon your life and actually identify what it is 
that you truly want out of it. Once you've established that, you can work to create a plan and 
take action towards starting over and pursuing your dreams. Lastly, remember that it's never 
ever too late to start over and start living the life you want and deserve.
