Change in life is inevitable and sometimes it’s just time to move on. However, it is easier said than done that is why it is very important to know when to (do) it so you will not have any regrets and that was why I thought of blogging about the reasons why and when you should consider quitting and I have to tell you that the reasons I will share with you are all based on my very own experience. Sometimes all we need is something to remind us of or make us realize that it is time, it is time to move on.

Please note that the reasons stated here are mainly applicable to workplaces and to our career or job but it can also be applied to your personal life.

It is time to quit when you are miserable. If you are no longer having fun and instead you dread every day or counting every minute till it is time to go home or it is a weekend, do yourself a favor and start packing and making plans because it is a must that you are happy in a relationship you are in, be it at work or your personal life.

It is time to quit when you are suffering from too much stress. There is no stress-free environment, at work or anywhere, I understand that but when stress is taking its toll on you physically, mentally and emotionally, when your dealing with other people is affected tremendously particularly your personal relationships, if you are having panic attacks just by thinking about it, it is time to move on because long-term stress and low control of what is going on in your life are deadly combination.

It is time to quit when your reputation is at risk. Too many disagreements with the one in-charge or people around you, seriously considering not going to work because you cannot handle the toxic environment because of the chosen few. The reputation you worked so hard to build can suffer damages that will take years to undo, it is time to move on and get a fresh start somewhere before it happens.

It is time to quit when loyalty is at stake. Often loyalty is the reason why people do not quit any relationship but when loyalty becomes one way, do not let it be the reason for not quitting, more so, be it the reason to start packing and start anew.

It is time to quit when you feel it in your heart. To me, this is the most important reason and sign. That during your waking hours and even in your sleep, you cannot stop thinking about leaving, you cannot convince yourself to stay no matter how hard you try, then it is really time to quit.

Life does not get better by chance, it gets better by making changes. Your circumstances especially financially may not allow you to do it right now but if these signs I mentioned are present in your relationship, work or personal, you should really consider getting ready to quit because it can only get worse from here.

Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts about life, till next time!
