Self-awareness is a first step to getting out of the rut. Do you find yourself doing the same thing repeatedly and feeling none the wiser as to why things have not improved for you? Do you feel trap in your current situation and lacking a clue as to how to get out of it?
If the answer is "Yes", then you are on the right path as you are now on this blog and taking a step forward to unravel your current situation which is sucking the life out of you; draining your energy and dampening your dream for a greater life.
Knowing the sinking-feeling situation you are in and that you can find help is crucial to getting out of the rut. Do not be like the proverbial frog in a pond. When the water temperature rises, the frog feels a little discomfort but brush it off as oh-it's-nothing.
When the temperature rises even higher, the frog complains and frets but still lack the drive to get out of his familiar pond. Alas, when the heat turns up higher still, our dear frog no longer has the strength to move and make the leap to safety as its situation has boiled over, so to speak.
Step outside and take a long and hard look as to whether you are really in a rut. Give your 'rut' some clinical time. Sometimes it could be that you have not been getting enough sleep for a protracted period of time and this has hindered your cognitive skills to solve problems and make sound decisions, thereby making you feel like you are in a rut.
Or, you could have been affected by the death of a loved one or undergoing turmoil in a personal relationship which, in turn, have impaired your ability to think clearly and move forward confidently.
Yes, it could even be a case of bad morning coffee -- where the coffee is too strong for your physiology and it either knocks out or chokes up your brain for the entire morning or day.
You need to examine the circumstances surrounding your 'rut' before you can know for sure whether this 'rut' is the real McCoy.
