🔍 How to Tell When It’s Time to Reevaluate Everything

Stage: REEVALUATE

There comes a moment when the life you’ve built.....sometimes with pride & sometimes out of survival.....however it happens you begin to recognize that something isn't working......sometimes it starts to feel like a costume you can no longer breathe in.

That moment doesn’t always arrive loud.
Sometimes, it’s a whisper.
Sometimes, it’s an ache that keeps showing up in your body.
Sometimes, it’s a deep resentment you’re ashamed to admit.

Reevaluation isn’t a crisis.
It’s a call home.

🌱 What Is Reevaluation, Really?

Reevaluation is not just asking “What’s working?”
It’s daring to ask:

• Is this version of success mine.....or is it  inherited?

• Do these rituals still serve me, or were they rooted in survival?

• Do I like the person I’ve become inside this routine?

This stage is the beginning of reclaiming your right to redesign.

🧠 Signs It’s Time to Reevaluate

1. Your body is saying no, even when your mind says yes.
   → Exhaustion, resistance, and even boredom are data—not flaws.

2. You’re doing “all the right things” but feel empty or annoyed.
   → Hustle without soul is a highway to burnout.

3. The people around you reflect back values you no longer align with.
   → Misalignment doesn’t mean they’re wrong—it just means you’re shifting.

4. You’ve outgrown the rules that once kept you safe.
   → Survival tools often become shackles over time.

✨ The Courage to Pause

Reevaluating can be terrifying.....especially if you’ve invested years, money, or identity into a path.
But choosing to stay in something because you “already started” is like continuing to water a dead plant because you spent money on the pot.

The Hallowed Living Method honors cycles over finality.
You’re allowed to pause.
You’re allowed to question.
You’re allowed to outgrow.

🛠 Journal Prompts for Reevaluation

1. What values do I say I believe in? What do my daily actions actually reflect?

2. Where do I feel friction in my life right now—and what might that friction be asking me to release?

3. What do I keep doing out of obligation, fear, or outdated loyalty?

4. What might shift if I gave myself permission to choose again?

You don’t have to burn it all down.
But you do have to be honest about what no longer fits.

🌀 Hallowed Insight

In permaculture, we often observe a garden that’s over-producing or under-producing and ask: Is this still the right plant for this zone? Has the season changed? Has the soil shifted?

Reevaluation is that kind of honest reflecting. Not to sit in shame or blame, instead to acknowledge the space for change

It’s the beginning of becoming who you actually are.....not who you had to be.
