"My life is a mess; how do I trace back my steps? " If you're asking this question, keep in mind that change is the one constant in our lives. The more we fight it, the more difficult life gets. Rather than resisting it, consider how you might adapt your life to accommodate the occurring changes around you.
The urge to re-evaluate your life can arise from various circumstances: you may have just lost your job or been laid off, you might have gone through with a divorce, or you may feel disappointed, dissatisfied, or impatient with your present position.
According to LifeHack, "We cannot avoid the unexpected events in our lives. What we can control is how we choose to respond to them. It is our power of choice that enables us to activate positive change in our lives.
Acting on our power of choice provides us with more opportunities to change our lives for the better. The more opportunities we create to change our lives, the more fulfilled and happier our lives become." Re-evaluating your life is often the primary step toward making a big change, a good move toward a better career, living environment, or even mental strength. If you're looking for tips to re-evaluate your life, here are some ideas to get you started.
According to LifeHack, "Every single decision we make in our days shapes our current reality. It shapes who we are as a person because we habitually follow through with the decisions, we make without even realizing it."
Life is a series of decisions to be made. We can live the best life imaginable if we make the right decisions. Human existence tends to follow a timetable, with many of us making pivotal decisions around the same time frame.
A "pivotal" decision is one in which you purposefully choose between two or more alternatives, knowing that the result would have a substantial and often long-term influence on yourself or others.
Given that you are aware that pivotal life decisions are always on the horizon, it seems prudent to always be ready. What we'll look at here is what those major decisions could be:
Career Decisions
One of the most significant decisions you will make in your life is choosing a job. There's a lot more to it than selecting what you'll do for a living. To begin with, we spend almost all of our time working till retirement. It is impossible to overstate the importance of choosing a profession that we enjoy.
According to research by the UK government, "To understand the career decision-making process, it is vital to identify and understand what influences career decisions as this is the context in which career decisions are made. These influences can limit or frame available choices and also affect how an individual is likely to make a career decision."
Family
"Family decision making is a process that can be filled with tension, extremely pleasant and rewarding, both, or somewhere in between. In the decision-making process, families can address the differences among members." (Galvin and Brommel 2000).
Families have faced various decisions, including whether to adopt children or not, selecting educational plans for children, vacations, having a pet, allocating limited finances, etc. Making pivotal family decisions is an inescapable part of life.
Finances
The grand declaration that frequently follows New Year's goals is a pledge to better your financial situation. Fortunately, accomplishing this goal may be one of the more pivotal decisions we get to make. Should you buy a home? Create a budget? Sell your house? Invest? Or take that loan; these are all decisions we all must face one point or the other.
Self-improvement
Self-improvement refers to the process of improving one's understanding, position, or character via one's endeavors. It's the desire to improve ourselves in all aspects of our lives. In summary, to decide to improve oneself is personal and pivotal for self-development and prosperity. Self-improvement has a beneficial influence on your work, health, interpersonal relationships, confidence, and personal life.
Relationships
When you're still single, you have complete control over your decisions. They usually require your approval and do not influence others (or so you'd like to think!) Moreover, when you're in a committed relationship, decisions made by you impact both you and your partner. Decisions like get married or not, get divorced or not, engage in sexual activities or not etc., all become pivotal decisions we must make.
Conclusion
Ultimately, the most pivotal decisions are those that influence not just you but also on people around you.
