Should I stay or should I go? We’ve all been there Podsters, feeling like something's not quite right. Yet not sure if we’re having a rough day or if it’s time to make a big change. For me, this feeling is unsettling - kind of like driving the car when it starts making a strange noise. Uh-oh. Is this bad? Is it nothing? Should I turn up the radio and ignore? Should I take this seriously and pull over to check under the hood? As I said...very unsettling. This happens in our lives as well and here's the thing: If you’re not listening to your instincts, you’re missing out on some of the best advice you’ll ever get, from the person who knows you better than anyone - YOU. What if that gut feeling isn’t coming through loud and clear? Well then it's time to really listen to your loved ones. They know you well, and sometimes they see things about us that we can’t (or won’t) see ourselves. Years ago when I was working in a very toxic, unhealthy work environment, it was a comment from my step-son that got me to stop and truly think. If your warning light is going off, or you're hearing some knocking and pinging in your head; it's up to YOU to figure out if you should stick it out or start making moves. Here are three tell-tale signs that can help you to find the clarity you need: 1️⃣ You’re Constantly Behind-Like, All. The. Time. 2️⃣ You Feel Yourself Changing—and Not for the Better 3️⃣ Someone You Trust Says, “Get Over It” Now that you know the signs, here’s what to do about it: 1️⃣ Give Yourself Some Grace. 2️⃣ Reevaluate Your Choices. 3️⃣ Phone a Friend. When you realize it’s time to go, celebrate that awareness. Take a breath, give yourself grace, and remember you don’t need to rush into the next thing. Recognizing the need for change is the first step toward making it happen.
