Signs You Need a Life Reset

Maybe you have been reading about resetting your life and making healthy changes, 
but you still aren’t sure if YOU need to do it. Here are some common signs of needing to 
take a closer look at your life and make changes that will benefit you in the long run.


You Are Experiencing Burnout

The first sign that you are in need of a reset in your life is when you are experiencing 
burnout. This often happens when you are either working too much, or focusing so 
much on one thing, that the rest of your life is being neglected.

It is possible to have burnout even when you don’t feel “busy” constantly. Burnout can 
happen from focusing too much on one area of your life, which makes it to where you 
are so exhausted with that certain activity or aspect of your life, the rest of your life is 
kind of falling behind.


You Keep Trying (and Failing) New Things

Have you noticed that you keep trying new things toward a specific goal, but then you 
quit pretty soon afterward or lose your steam? This is a really good time to do a reset 
and try to find where your priorities are. 

This isn’t always just a case of having no follow-through. Sometimes, it is because you 
need to reevaluate things, remind yourself why you set these goals, and figure out what 
tasks would be better suited for you to complete those goals.


You Haven’t Worked on Your Goals in a While

Maybe you have goals that you thought you really wanted, but you never seem to work 
on them much. Things happen and lives get busy, but if it has been months or even 
years, then now is the time to either decide how to reach those goals, or replace them 
with something else you are more passionate about. 


You Feel Stuck, Helpless, or Unmotivated

And lastly, if you have been feeling a little stuck, lost, or just unmotivated, it is time to 
look at your life and figure out what isn’t quite working for you. These feelings can come 
from many things, from your mental health to just being overworked. 

Start writing in a journal to figure out why you are experiencing these emotions, and 
work on a life reset so you can get down to what is happening and why you feel this 
way.
