How to escape a rut

I struggled with this recently myself.

What am I doing with my life?

I was becoming a real life coach potato and could swear I felt the roots forming into the fabric of my sofa.

How do I escape it?

First, recognize your circumstances. The cold and stomach flu were going around and I caught all of them. I was unwell for nearly all of January.

What I needed was grace for myself.

Recovering from a health episode takes time. Time that our current world ignores and pushes us to jump to the task when perhaps it’s still too soon. Then I needed to enter into my routine and get my body moving to help dissolve those potato roots. This is progress and this is productive. Once I started feeling stronger, I focused on eating meals that fueled me and made my body feel great. It may take time to reach your goals and you’ll have ups and downs just like I did. But that’s ok. Our bodies are not made of metal, they’re made of organic material. Organic material needs rest. Heck a computer will overheat if you have it on too long and don’t care for it.

Have grace for yourself and treat yourself with care. Your goals will still be there.
