We all get in ruts.

Things are going really good and then all of the sudden you don’t feel good for a day or two and you just get into a rut. Get a little lazy. Get into a funk.

How do you snap out of your funk? I know when I get into a funk, I always ask myself, “Why am I in a funk? What is bothering me right now?” I try to dig a little deeper instead of looking at the surface things. Because usually when you’re in a rut, it’s usually something that is deeper than what you think it is. Maybe something’s bothering you a day ago or two days ago. Maybe you got a lingering whatever. So the next time you get into a rut ask yourself, “Why do I feel this way today? Did anything happen to me over the last couple of days that just caused me to feel funky?”

And once you pinpoint it, and figure out what really made you feel funky, you then go right back to being your cheery self, going right back to doing all the great things that you were doing before that. And it’s okay.

We all get in ruts every once in a while. It’s okay to have an off day, an off hour, an off minute. Nobody’s on 24/7. Nobody has it together all of the time. So, just accept that part of life, and the ruts won’t bother you as much either.
