Because you only live once…
Stuck in a Rut
Being in a rut is like being stuck in quick sand. You really want to get out but your just don’t know how – and it just keeps pulling you farther in. You didn’t mean to fall in. It just happened.
Okay. Now what? How can you get out of the quicksand?
First off… Don’t panic. Fighting it will only stress you out. You must be level headed and strategic.
I currently feel quite stuck and it can be overwhelming at times. There are reasons that I need to being doing what I am doing now and reasons that I should not be doing what I am doing now… and that can be quite frustrating at times. I tend to get overwhelmed too easily and panic. But that usually does no actual good (although it does let off a bit of steam).
But what from there? This is where I tend to run into trouble. So I’m going to open this up to audience participation…
How do you deal with being in a rut?

Back when I was working my last long term job I ended up getting fond of the quote “The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.”
I quit that job without knowing what I would do next but intending to eat some of my savings by traveling some and taking off for a year… that stretched to two years.
I’m probably in another rut now, and diminished savings, so I wish I had the answer to avoid and get out of ruts.
I suspect that some sense of vision as to what you’d like to be doing, and then some persistance in working towards that, is essential. …I trying that so we’ll see.
