Fortunately, I never have to worry about being stuck in a rut. I have a toolbox just brimming with handy tools I can rely on to keep me moving toward where I want to go!
If I feel I'm sinking into a rut at work, I pull out my time management skills and rework my schedule. I rearrange my tasks according to my priorities, making sure I get the most important ones accomplished. If necessary, the lesser priorities can wait.
I then delegate some of the tasks to others who are more willing and able to accomplish them. This gives me more time to do the things I want to do! When I spend more time on what I desire to do, it refreshes me and gives me more energy for all my tasks.
When my home life starts to look like a rut-in-progress, I spice things up with my creativity. I rearrange furniture, try new foods or recipes, and come up with new ideas for our family time. Everyone gets involved in the new activities and we avoid the rut!
When I feel like I am getting stuck in a rut from too much work, I add some fun! I take time for myself to rest and rejuvenate. During my "me" time, I do whatever I want to do, whether it is all by myself or with friends or loved ones. When I return to my tasks, I have a renewed passion and energy.
Today, I choose to bring variety into my life and become "rutless" by stocking my toolbox with handy tools to get rid of whatever ruts that try to form in my path.
