10 Signs Its Time To Let Go

The biggest challenge when making a decision is our constant fear of making the wrong choice.  Thing is its not the end of the world, its simply a choice. There is no right or wrong, its just a decision to be made with its own set of consequences. 

I am however the worst person when it comes to making a clean break if the non-negotiables aren't clear. I'm not stating these 10 signs are hard fact nor am I claiming that they apply to your love life or a particular scenario, every person and circumstance is different, but these are my tell tale signs that something is amiss.

So I'm here to break it down for myself - and for you - if the decision still needs to be made then consider this.

10 Signs Its Time To Let Go

1. The passion is gone. The ship has sailed and you just don't feel the "romance" any more. Perhaps your burning desire has dissipated into more of a slow simmer but its just not enough to make the effort for.
2. You've seen yourself elsewhere. Your imagination keeps showing you an alternative scenario, eternally optimistic in your fantasy world. You've already considered these alternatives and the present moment just leaves you cold in comparison.
3. People start noticing the change in your attitude. There is a clear shift from bubbling enthusiasm to the dull, hum drum approach you've taken on without even realising it.
4. Your inner voice is louder than ever. I'm not just talking about the voices in your head, but the voice in your heart that just keeps pulling at your shoulder, nagging you to take notice. You'll know when its time when that voice gets louder than your doubts and fears.
5. You've put aside your personal goals. Perhaps you've forgotten about yourself, neglected your health/talents/family/friends/grooming. If you're not living in balance, you're probably overdoing it on the committment front to something that doesn't serve you any longer.
6. You can actually see yourself in an out of body, almost comedic type of scenario and the person you're telling to F-off is probably someone important. 
7. Asking why. One of my most favourite alarm bells. "Why am I putting myself through this?" or "Why am I sacrificing so much." "When did I manage to lose myself?" These questions are being asked for a reason and that is because a conscious decision needs to be made.
8. Possibilities and opportunities for future development aren't clear anymore. The vision you have for your future isn't going to manifest itself under the current circumstances - its time for change.
9. Its in your dreams and you know it. You've woken up from nightmares, your subconscious isn't just talking to you, its shouting! 
10. You decide you deserve better and you don't have to feel like a victim to do so. You feel ok with this decision and you have a sense that everything is going to work out regardless of the circumstances.

My personal goal for 2013 was not to act like a victim. If you dont like something or you feel it doesn't serve your or isn't for your greater good - then change it!

Time to move on - might as well do so fearlessly.
