5 signs that you're ready for real change

Change is like a plant - it begins to germinate in secret long before we see the first shoots. Often you can already feel that something is starting to move, but you can't really grasp it yet. In my work as a coach, I experience time and again how people come to me at precisely this stage. They already have the seed of change inside them, but need support to let it grow.

Here are five clear signs that you are ready for a profound, value-oriented transformation:

1. you feel an inner restlessness despite external success

Do you know this? From the outside, everything seems to be going well in your life. You have a good job, a family, friends - and yet there is this nagging restlessness. This subliminal feeling that something is missing. This is not a sign of ungratefulness, but an important signal from your inner voice. It shows you that you are ready to look deeper and connect with your true values.

2. your previous attempts to find a solution lead you in circles

You've already tried a lot of things: New hobbies, changes at work, maybe even a change of location. But somehow you always find yourself back at the same point. That's actually a positive sign! It means you're ready for a different approach - one that doesn't just scratch the surface but gets to your core.

3. you long for more authenticity

"Be yourself" - this well-intentioned advice sounds simple, but what does it really mean? If you notice that you are questioning more and more often whether your life really suits you, this is a powerful signal. You may find yourself playing a role in certain situations or realize that your decisions are shaped more by external expectations than by your own desires.

4. superficial changes are no longer enough for you

The new job, the new hobby, the new apartment - all of these can be important and right. But you sense that there's more at stake this time. You don't just want to rearrange the scenery in your life, you want to rewrite the script. This realization shows that you are ready for a change that comes from within.

5. you are ready to look deeper

Perhaps the most important sign: You are prepared to confront the uncomfortable truths in your life. You know that real change means recognizing old patterns and daring to take new paths. This willingness is like a key that opens the door to profound transformation.

What do these signs mean?

If you recognize yourself in several of these points, you are probably at an important threshold in your life. It is the moment when superficial changes are no longer enough and you are ready for a deeper process.

The good news is: these signs do not mean that something was "wrong" with your life up to now. On the contrary - they are an expression of your inner growth. They show that you are ready to reach the next stage of your personal development.

Real transformation begins with recognizing your true values. In value-based coaching based on the St. Gallen Coaching Model, I help you to discover these values and use them as a compass for your change.
