I decided this week to take notice of how many times I’ve heard people say “I want to change my life” or “My life is stuck in a rut” and to my surprise I heard these statements from people I never would have thought unhappy.

Being stuck in a rut is more common than you would think, but what is most alarming is the impact that feeling has on our emotional and physical health

In Escape From Being Stuck In A Rut the link between frustration, stress and boredom is clearly made with health conditions that include lack of energy, chemical imbalances in your gut and bloodstream, emotional conditions such as fear, hopelessness and deptression. Even major diseases and immune disorders can be tied back to this feeling of hopelessness - of being stuck in a rut.

So, how do we get out of a rut - breaking free of this hopeless and limiting state?

1. First, realize the symptoms of being stuck in life. Does time go by slowly? Is everything you do a pattern? Thinking and acting outside of your comfort zone, are these becoming less and less common in your life? Do you get tired easily? Do you find you need a great deal more sleep than in the past?

2. Break the cycle of repition by doing small things differently. Change your route to work. Alter your morning routine. Work at something different for a few hours. Try playing a game with your family. Try anything that will get you out of the rut you now find yourself in.

3. Look for peace within by practicing meditation or yoga. You will be amazed at the excitement, enthusiasm and enjoyment you can bring back into your life by giving yourself the time to meditate - that is the start of when I discovered how to get unstuck in life

4. Exercise and health must become new priorities. By clogging our system with poor foods and then avoiding the natural need your body has to experience motion we are further supporting the “stuck in a rut” experience.

To get from being stuck in a rut to being happy, active and energized, give these 4 steps a try and you will notice a difference.
