I used to think I need a totally new life.

New job, new city, new everything

But one day someone as ked me “What problem are you actually trying to fix? ”

And I honestly didnt know .

After thinking, I understood I didnt hate my life. I was just tired, sleeping bad, saying yes to too many things, and having no quiet time.

I was ready to make a big expensive change, but the real problem was much smaller.

Now before any big decision I ask myself : What is the exact problem I want to solve?

Not “I need a new life.”

More like:

I need more rest.

I need less stress.

I need to stop saying yes when I want to say no.

Sometimes you really need a big change. But sometimes your brain just need a break.

Dont restart your whole life before you understand what is actually wrong.
