Is your life slowly improving, but you don’t even notice it as you’re busy with your everyday activities, work, and life responsibilities? 

However, if you’d stop for a moment and think about it, you’d notice your life is getting better. 

Apart from being financially secure or having a great family, there are many non-obvious signs that prove your life is getting better. 

So, let’s dive in and see what they are. 

1) Greater sense of purpose

First and foremost, there’s a greater sense of purpose. If you have a greater sense of purpose, it means you’ve discovered or defined your life’s direction. You set meaningful goals aligned with your values, and now you have a sense of fulfillment and focus.

It’s a great feeling to have, mainly because it doesn’t just come from your career, business, or place of work.

Maybe you have kids or volunteer in the community to care for the vulnerable. Any of these are enough for most people to recognize there’s more to life than they thought. 

2) Sense of accomplishment

For a long, long time, I’ve felt like a complete failure. It was too easy to blame the circumstances around me, but deep down, I knew it was my own fault. 

It wasn’t until I moved out of my country that I really started seeing the possibilities out there. 

I started celebrating all our achievements with my family, no matter how small, to boost self-recognition, self-esteem, and positive reinforcement. 

So, if you, too, have started recognizing and acknowledging your progress, it means your life is on the right track. 

3) More frequent moments of flow

If you’re frequently experiencing moments of flow, it just goes to show that you engage in activities that bring you deep satisfaction and immersion. 

It also means you’ve likely discovered and pursued your passions, leading to a greater sense of joy and accomplishment, as we saw above.

4) Feeling of lightness

Do you feel physically or emotionally lighter? If so, it could be a sign of releasing burdens or negative emotions. 

For me, this has to be one of the best signs that my life is on track and that it’s getting better. 

After years of heightened stress, going to bed and waking up in the morning without overwhelming bad thoughts was the signal that “I’ve made it.” 

Not necessarily in a financial sense, but more so that I don’t have to worry so much all the time about everything. 

I finally moved from the passenger seat to the driver’s. 

5) Increased curiosity

When you have the time to think about things other than work or family, you start to have a growing curiosity. You actively look for opportunities to learn, explore, and expand your horizons, encouraging continued growth.

All of this suggests you have a thirst for knowledge and personal development. 

For some people, this leads to believing the Earth is flat or trying to cancel others just because they posted something on social media. 

For others, it means going to their community and helping others or traveling to other countries to see and meet different people. 

Let’s continue on a similar note. 

6) Random acts of kindness

When your life is getting better, you may find yourself becoming more attuned to the needs and feelings of others. 

With heightened compassion, you notice opportunities for acts of kindness and have a deeper understanding of your actions’ impact on others.

This means you encounter more acts of kindness from strangers but also feel compelled to perform them yourself, creating a positive ripple effect.

Think about that for a moment. 

7) Improved time management

Time is the greatest luxury these days, isn’t it? 

If you have more time, it often means you improved your time management. It shows you’re more efficient and productive. You also might have better organizational skills now, or have finally balanced your work-life better.

Whatever the reason, when you manage to claim back time, you know your life is indeed getting better. 

8) Improved digestion.

For many people, living with an upset stomach all the time is the norm. They eat Pepto-Bismol like it’s candy. 

Food and drink choices are certainly to blame for that, but also the stress. In turn, we don’t always make the best lifestyle choices when we’re under stress. 

That’s why we rather reach for a donut or a beer than an apple.  

So when you notice that your digestive system functions more smoothly, it simply reflects a reduction in stress and improved overall health.

Meaning your life is getting improved.

9) Deeper spiritual connection

A deeper spiritual connection shows inner growth and self-reflection. Exploring your beliefs, values, or spiritual practices often leads to a greater sense of peace and purpose.

You find yourself experiencing inner peace and tranquility, even during times of uncertainty, and have the ability to bounce back from setbacks and challenges.

But deeper spiritual connection also brings about this next sign. 

10) You don’t desire material possessions

In a world that values material possessions the most, breaking its shackles is one of the best things you can do for your life. 

A decreased attachment to material possessions means you now value experiences and relationships more than material wealth. 

You’re content with simplicity and focus on what truly matters in life. 

I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of done with having a cluttered home full of meaningless stuff we used a couple of times and haven’t looked at since. 

I’m starting to embrace minimalism and simplicity, valuing experiences and connections over accumulation of possessions. 

This has already led to a clutter-free and more organized living space and has positively impacted my mental well-being.

11) Less need for validation

Another not-so-obvious sign of improved life is the reduced need for external validation, which reflects a boost in self-confidence and self-acceptance. 

Once you learn to value your own opinions and choices, you stop seeking constant approval from others.

It’s as clear as day that with personal growth, you also begin to feel greater fulfillment and satisfaction from within. You become less reliant on external praise or validation and feel content with your achievements.

You’re also more resilient to criticism and negative feedback and learn to distinguish constructive criticism from baseless negativity and avoid letting it affect your self-esteem.

12) Sense of gratitude

Have you noticed you’ve been more grateful for things in your life lately? If so, it’s another sign of improved life.

You see, developing gratitude suggests you’ve shifted your focus towards positivity and appreciation. You now take time to acknowledge and be thankful for the good things in your life, no matter how small they might seem.

But above all, a sense of gratitude helps you focus on what you have rather than what you lack, leading to a more positive and optimistic outlook on life.

13) Reduced procrastination

Fighting procrastination can be a real uphill battle sometimes. You know the feeling. You just can’t force yourself to do that really important thing that must be done no matter what. 

But as your life gets better, you find you’re better able to balance work, personal life, and leisure activities. This balance contributes to reduced procrastination in both areas.

And once you’ve finally overcome procrastination, it just proves you now have increased self-discipline and motivation. 

Completing tasks in a timely fashion also boosts your confidence and motivation to take on more challenges.

14) More frequent laughter

If you catch yourself laughing and smiling more, you must have embraced humor and learned not to take life too seriously. 

Your life is improving because you have a more joyful outlook and don’t take everything too seriously. 

More frequent laughter also suggests you’re experiencing decreased stress, anxiety, and negative thoughts. And as your mental health improves, you become more resilient in coping with life’s challenges.

But from my experience, increased laughter signifies more meaningful and enjoyable social interactions. 

It proves I’m surrounded by people who bring positivity and humor into my life, boosting stronger and more supportive connections.

15) Embracing silence

For the longest time, I couldn’t be in complete silence. I always had to listen to music, TV, or some podcasts. 

But why is that? 

It’s because when my mind was left in silence, negative thoughts would start to creep up. They’d remind me I wasn’t “successful,” or I was in bad shape physically, or any other insecurities I had at that time. 

That’s why it was always easiest to preoccupy my mind with outside stimulation. 

But now, I find comfort in moments of silence and solitude. It proves my increased sense of self-awareness and inner peace.

It’s also been demonstrated that silence stimulates brain growth and is more relaxing than listening to music, among many other things.

Final thoughts

Did you recognize any of these signs in your life? Do you think your life is improving or you still have a lot of work ahead of you?
