EP 17 | How to Get Out of a Rut
Manage episode 405305026 series 3399895
Being in a rut can look different for everyone. Usually when I am in a rut it is because I am avoiding something, resisting, and kind of just aimlessly wandering. Going in a different directions, not accomplishing anything, and not clear on what I want.
When I am in a rut I mentally and emotionally check out. What helps me the most get out of a rut is taking action. Doing something - whether that is going to a park and taking a walk, visiting my favorite book store or tea shop, calling a friend, cleaning just one room in my house. Getting up, stopping the overconsumption of social media, and doing something.
When I'm doing things, the creativity juices start flowing, and then I get excited and motivated about working on this thing or doing that thing. Which leads me to creating more rather than consuming more. Then I get clear on what I want and understand where I'm going.
So if you feel like you are aimlessly wandering around or feel like you are in a rut - neither sad or happy - then check this episode out! And let me know how you get out of ruts.
