10 Ways You Know It Is Time To Leave Your Relationship Or Job & 10 Questions To Help You Make Your Decision Jun 04, 2021

Show notes

Finding the reason to let go and move on is never because of a simple reason. It is often a result of a series of stressful events, unreasonable situations, and in some cases, traumatic experiences that make us anxious.

These unpleasant circumstances push us to the end and would make us question ourselves if it’s still worth staying or is it finally time to move on. Or, if you’re mentally and emotionally prepared to leave it all behind and restart your life somewhere else.

In this episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty talks about ten questions we should ask before we decide to end a relationship or leave our job, and what we can do to prepare for when we’re ready to leave.

Key Takeaways:

01:12 Are you thinking of finally leaving or letting go?
05:06 Question #1: Am I safe?
09:02 Question #2: Am I free to be or am I performing?
12:15 You don’t have to go right away as soon as you realize you’re pretending
12:48 Question #3: Am I honoring my values?
15:54 Question #4: Am I holding back or being held back?
17:52 Question #5: Am I here for the potential and what could be?
20:12 Question #6: Am I the only one trying?
23:22 Question #7: Can I forgive?
24:35 Question #8: Am I being honest?
26:24 Question #9: Am I otherwise fulfilled?
27:56 Question #10: Is there more to learn here?
29:41 Make a decision that serves you best in the long term
