How to Get Out of a Rut

1. Stop believing you’re the only one (4:45)

It can feel like you’re totally alone when you’re stuck in a rut. There are so many people going through the same struggles you’re facing — so don’t isolate yourself from them!

(6:00) Build trust with the people in your life that can help you get into a better mindset. Learn what they’re struggling with and be vulnerable with each other. The more you open yourself up to being supportive to others, the more you can put your own problems into perspective.

2. It’s not going to change overnight (6:50)

It’s impossible to bounce back in a matter of hours. Big things take time, and trust in the baby steps you take back into your routine. Remember: everyone’s journey is different, so avoid comparing your progress to others.

3. Put the phone down (8:14)

It’s time to cancel comparisons! The realness of your life cannot be compared to the highlight reels we see on our screens. What is social media really making you feel? Hopeful? Jealous? Put the phone down and focus on creating real happiness for yourself.

4. Take care of the small things (10:15)

“If you take care of the small things, the big things take care of themselves.” — Emily Dickinson | Click to tweet!

Don’t try to take over the world each day. Instead, focus on taking small steps. Over time, those small steps grow into something beautiful.

5. Look at the people around you (12:10)

Who are you surrounding yourself with? The more empowering relationships you build into your life, the more success you’ll experience.
