Take These Steps if You’re Stuck in a Rut

Everyone gets stuck at times, and once you’re at midlife you may find yourself in a deep rut. The aspects of your life that you thought were most important now feel like dreary obligations.

Something needs to change. And if you want to change your situation, you first have to change yourself.

That means we first have to change our perspective. We use mental maps as a frame of reference by which we navigate the world. And more often than not, they’ve been shaped by outside influences that are no longer as relevant to who we are and who want to become.

To get unstuck, we need to be able to redraw the mental maps inside our head; to look at the world through a new lens. Because without this vital shift in perspective, we’ll merely continue down the same path that is causing us to be discontent in the first place.

By developing a new set of mental maps your understanding of what’s possible grows, and your life will begin to change for the better, all by itself. So how do we make this shift?

The first step is to start getting to know ourselves better. From there, we can take a series of steps that not only get us out of the rut, they raise us up to new heights.
