Change will obviously happen to you at some point in life especially when its meant to.Sometimes changes bring a better version of what we had, and I will not promise that change is going to be a smooth process,but you have got to hang in there.
Here are signs change is happening
You lose Interest
Loosing interest can look like not doing the things you used to do before or not going to places you used to go to before,this can result in changing your routine.
This is not as bad as you might think,maybe whatever you’ve lost interest in was never good for you, or it was about time you advanced .
For example going to have drinks everyday could have been causing damage to your internal organs,or having a negative impact on your job such that the next day it was impossible for you,to perform tasks or go to work.
Allow yourself to lose interest in those things and try to adopt or learn new things that will be productive in your new phase of life that you are about to start.
You can begin reading books for the purpose of building knowledge and keeping yourself busy to avoid thinking about the things you are loosing interest in.
Isolating Yourself As Part of Change
This can happen especially if you feel you have embarrassed yourself in the public,through the the things you used to do before and now you could be isolating yourself to rewrite your life.
I want you to understand this everyone in this world has definitely done things they are not proud of before.
Reinventing yourself is something that will probably be occurring now and as you grow older so don’t be so hard on yourself.Learn from your mistakes and get to be whoever you want to be.
There will be people who will hold onto the old version of you and what you did.That’s not your problem they should be left behind together with your past.
Questioning Past Beliefs
Questioning beliefs helps us transition in life because we live in a world that changes day and night.If we are stuck in our old beliefs we shall be left behind.
There comes a time in our life whereby we want to break free from our parents and that’s when questioning beliefs begins.
You could find yourself asking yourself
- Whether as an adult you should still follow the rules and beliefs that your parents had set for you since childhood?
- Do those rules implement boundaries between you and your parents?
- Do they have a right to set rules for you now that you are an adult?
- Are you supposed to respect them even when they are disrespectful to you?
Finding answers to these series of questions can lead to getting the type of change you desire.
You Have Made Peace With the Past
Have you ever looked back at your past life and the things that used to hurt you or give you sleepless nights and they no longer matter or hurt?
You could just bump into your once upon disloyal friend and you’re like.
I don’t care about what you did to me,or what’s happening in your life and that is how you pass them by with a smile.This is letting go and it enables us to move on.Once we move on change begins to happen.

Why You Shouldn’t Care About Gossip.
Change Of Your Wardrobe
Hitting a different age can result to many changing their closet for example what you used to wear as an 18 year old is not what you put on as a 30 year old.
As we advance to different levels in life we find ourselves changing our wardrobes because we want people to perceive us in a way that is aligned with our new level.
For example you just got promoted to a boss,you might ditch your casual wear and buy suits because your current position portrays respect and class .
There is this famous long dress grooming trend that I have seen.Mothers and newly saved church members tend to adopt because it brings a sense of motherhood and reserved
You feel lost
Sometimes you have got to feel lost to find yourself and that’s when change creeps in.
Feeling lost can look like not knowing your purpose,interests basically not figuring out what you want in life.How you deal with it,is by being gentle with yourself as you explore different opportunities to see what works for you,this process can take years but its worth it.
For example I used to write books since the year 2011 to 2012 but I never published any (the books are probably lying somewhere in the house).
During that time I never knew what my niche was and I never saw myself ever been an author or a writer, so I stopped writing in 2012 and I decided to focus on other careers.
In 2022 I realized I needed to find what I’m passionate about,i was totally lost and confused on what I should pursue.I mean I had all my school certificates but I did not know what I wanted to do in this life.
I started exploring the internet for ideas and when I came across blogging I felt the spark, but I still didn’t know the niche to chose from.After sitting with myself and thinking I realized all along I had the answer.
I was making jewelry and in 2011 to 2012 I was good at writing motivation content,so I started blogging about the two.

I also write quotes and jewelry DIY articles as well.
