We all get restless from time to time. Sometimes it’s just that we need a break or a vacation. Other times it just means we need to rearrange the furniture or decluttering your space by performing my personal favorite act and cram as many random items into already full drawers, cupboards, or overly full boxes destined to the basement or storage unit – it might be just the time to change it up abit and not mask what could be underlying problems!
Whether we’re talking about your home or physical office, here are some clear indicators that your restlessness is much more than just a desire for a new rug, fake plant or fresh coat of paint.
Financial Difficulties
If you can no longer afford where you live, whether it be your individual rent/mortgage or the price increases in your city, it might be time to move.
Unfortunately, goods and services increase at a higher rate (especially the past year) than income, so sometimes we find ourselves in this difficult situation. How do you know? If you’re paying all your bills but struggling to eat or can’t do anything fun, then it might be time to move to a lesson place and reduce your stress levels.
Space – The Need For Less Or More
That two-bedroom apartment you moved into after your wedding worked fine when it was just the two of you, but now you’re expecting an addition to the family. If those walls are starting to feel like they’re closing in on you, it’s probably time to move somewhere with a bit more room to grow.
Alternatively, you might find yourself with way too many rooms and no one to fill them. Once the kids have all moved out and gone to university or started the next chapter of their life moving into their own home, cleaning all that square footage can be too much of a chore, especially if the space is only being used when special events or holidays come around.
Employment
If you find yourself out of work and cannot find a job that fits your skills and interests, it could be time to move to another area. Job markets vary from city to city, so just because your degree isn’t in high demand where you are doesn’t mean it’s not useful anywhere. Take some time to research where the jobs are. You might be surprised you position is in high demand elsewhere.
Loved Ones
Is your family or best friend in another part of the country? If the location you’re in causes you unhappiness because you can’t break away for Friday Fun Family Movie Night, or can’t make it to your best friend’s wedding, or birthdays it might be time for a change.Were often encouraged to prioritize career over relationships, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to move closer to your loved ones.
Difficult Memories
Whether it was a relationship gone bad or trauma from another event, sometimes you just need a change of scenery. If that spots reminds you of something unpleasant, it might be time to move so you can stop being reminded of it on your daily commute.
There are a lot of reasons that may make you feel like it’s time to move—whether it’s to a new home or a new office —from aspirations to bad relationships.
