A liberating moment is usually the product of either risk or hard-work, whether that’s walking out of a situation that is hindering your progression in life or saying goodbye to familiarity in search of true happiness.
In search of liberation? Here, we’ve listed some of those moments that can truly liberate you to change your path in life or how you are as a person.

1. Quitting a job you hate
Walking out of a job is never easy, especially if you have no plan B but if your job is no longer fulfilling you then perhaps it’s time to move on. If you’re poorly treated, receiving little support from management and seeing no progression in the near future, then it’s likely you will leave and never look back.
Of course, it’s always a good idea to have another job in the pipeline but the universe does often have a funny way of letting things fall into place. It’s hard to move on to the next stage of your life when you’re still being dragged down by a job you hate. You could always look into freelance or temp work whilst you figure out your next move.

2. Passing your driving test
There’s no better accomplishment than ditching those L plates. After many hours and cash spent on lessons, passing your test is a truly liberating moment in your life. Owning a full driving license is your ticket to the world. Road trips and travel suddenly become a lot easier and it also opens up new career opportunities. The feeling of not having to rely on someone else or public transport to get you from A to B is brilliant, so get out there and enjoy the open road.
3. Buying a one-way ticket
If you’re feeling bored of your current situation, there’s nothing quite as liberating as buying a one-way ticket out of wherever you’re located and embarking on an adventure. Travel is good for the soul, it develops you as a person and enables you to not only understand yourself better but understand what it is that you want from life.
If you feel like you’ve hit a brick wall with your career, then embarking on a mini gap-year can do you a world of good. You’ll feel re-inspired, reinvigorated and ready to take on the world one step at a time.

4. Accepting and understanding death
This is a more somber moment in your life, but also extremely important. You never quite understand the impact death has until you lose a loved one, but learning to understand, and more importantly, accept death is hugely liberating.
You start to live for the now and realize just how important it is to embrace every opportunity and grab life by the horns. If you’re struggling to process the recent loss of a loved one or you’re confused about what happens after death, reach out to the experts at Beyond that can guide you every step of the way, from comparing funeral plans to finding a funeral director within your budget.
5. Feeling true happiness
And last but certainly not least, the most liberated you will ever feel is when you have found true happiness. You’ll know it when you find it, and most of the time it’s influenced by the very simple things in life.
Perhaps it will come in a routine moment when you’re sitting at the kitchen table, reading the paper with your partner or when looking over your little one sleeping in their cot. Just be sure to treasure those moments because there is no greater feeling than being truly happy in this world. Seek out happiness, do what feels right and don’t be afraid to take a risk every once in a while.
