![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes we can’t change the big things right away but we can make small changes and enough small changes can help us get by until we are ready to make a big change. Reconnecting with them is one of the quickest ways I know to bust a rut. These are the people who add joy and meaning to my life. These are exactly the people that I need in my life when I’m in a rut. ![]() Sometimes when I’m in a rut, I tend to shut myself off from the people who care about me, the people that I have fun with and the people who see the good in me. Different tactics will work for different people, but here are a few suggestions that tend to work especially well for me. We need to find ways to break out of our boredom & monotony and we need to grab back a hold of the FabYOUlous vision that we have for our lives. So…the next time you find yourself feeling lethargic and unenthused about your life, it is time to take action, BUST THE RUT and GET IN THE GROOVE.Īs I mentioned earlier, ruts are almost always caused by boredom, monotony and a lack of vision. Therefore, busting a rut must involve tactics to counter these causes. ![]() Do NOT let that happen to you. Your life is far too FabYOUlous to waste even one minute at the bottom of some ugly rut. So, the next time you’re in a rut, don’t make the mistake of taking up residence. You DO NOT want to hang photos, pick out carpeting and set up utilities–you want to GET OUT. The longer we wallow in our ruts, the deeper the ruts will become and the harder they will be to escape. It’s good news because once we know what causes our ruts, we can come up with strategies to escape them and even more importantly, we can learn to recognize and avoid them in the first place. This might not exactly sound like good news but trust me– it is. Instead of being on top of things and able to see the big picture for our FabYOUlous lives, we get sucked into a routine of just going through the motions of life without really living. This good news lies in the fact that ruts are almost always caused by boredom, monotony and a lack of vision. Often, by the time I do finally realize that I’m in a rut, I’ve turned my rut into a Grand Canyon sized trench that seems impossible to escape.īelieve it or not though, there is some good news about ruts. That’s the thing with ruts–they will sneak up on you and begin to suck the life out of you without you even realizing it. I lose sight of the big, FabYOUlous goals that I’ve set for my life and therefore, my colorful, FabYOUlous life turns into an old, grainy, black & white re-run. Nothing much excites me and I find myself watching way too much TV. Sometimes I’m in a rut without even realizing it. The worst thing about ruts is that they are sneaky and difficult to get out of. It’s difficult to make progress on my goals (even the easy ones) and the days seem to drag on forever without much significance. It’s a chore to get out of bed in the morning and head to work. When I’m in a rut however it’s just the opposite. I’m able to accomplish numerous things without even breaking a sweat and (most importantly) I’m happy. When I’m in the groove, I’m feeling good, things are flowing and life seems full of promise. There is a huge difference between being in a rut and being in the groove and no doubt we’ve all experienced both instances at one time or another–I know that I certainly have. ![]()
