Taking Advantage of Life Changes for Personal Growth

It is easy to get caught up in the mundane routine and forget about life changes. But it is not too late to start over again and make better choices. All it takes is a new perspective and some time to explore your options. Sometimes, that comes in the form of a life transition. 

If you’re in recovery, big changes are not only helpful but sometimes critical to your recovery success. Leaving a home, a job or a relationship that doesn’t support your new, substance-free way of life is imperative to staying healthy and achieving your goal of a healthier and better way of living.

Here’s some advice from Miss Pork Pie for navigating this transition.

Moving to a New Home

Moving is a great opportunity to break old bad habits and start fresh. If you’re moving to a new city or state, you have the opportunity to start being a whole new you. If you’ve had the bad habit of allowing clutter to fill your home, fill your new home with decorative storage containers and closet organisers. When you move, if you hire an efficient and caring mover, they will pack and unpack your belongings in an organised way, making it easy for you to keep things organised as you arrange things in your new home. Before meeting with a moving company to get a quote and discuss your needs, you can evaluate companies by reading reviews online. If you’re worried about costs, you can also research which moving companies are currently offering deals.

Changing Your Job

Being stuck in a job you’re unhappy in, a job that makes you feel unfulfilled can be the best time to make a change. A new job means the chance to start your life over in a positive way, one that makes you feel better about yourself. If you’re in a job that’s no longer challenging, or if you’re ready for a career change, switching careers can be a boon for your mental health. Fortunately, online degree programs make it easy to earn a degree while still working full-time or tending to family obligations. When looking for an online school, ensure it’s accredited, and that it offers competitive tuition rates. 

Starting your own business is another way to make a positive career move. Being in 100% control of your future means breaking old habits of taking your workday for granted or being in the mindset of just coasting. Feeling excited about waking up in the morning because you’re in control of your day is very satisfying. Follow online resources to get you on the right entrepreneurial path. Business strategy and structure, marketing, and planning advice are readily available online.

It’s a good idea to use digital tools to make getting your business started easier. One of the benefits of a PDF editor, for example, is that your documents are stored in the cloud for easy retrieval. Plus you can edit text and sticky notes for each document, making it easier to jot down thoughts to return to later.

Leaving an Unhealthy Relationship 

Research shows that being in an unhealthy relationship increases our risk of heart disease, including a fatal heart attack. Other studies show that women with high levels of conflict in their relationships have higher levels of blood sugar, high blood pressure, and increase unhealthy stress levels. and higher levels of obesity. By ending the unhealthy relationship, you have a chance to start over by creating new positive relationships and lifestyles like eating better and adopting an exercise routine. 

It’s never too late to start over again and make better choices. All it takes is a new perspective and some time to explore your options.
