The Quickie: How To Get Out Of A Rut

Gillian Berner
About this episode

Winter is coming… and with almost two years of the pandemmy under our belts and the sun now setting before we even get a chance to see it (who is daylight savings ACTUALLY saving?), it can feel like we’re living in Groundhog Day. If you’re feeling stuck and stagnant, and running low on energy like us, you’ve come to the right place!

We’re done with languishing. So, in this week’s quickie, we’re talking how to break the cycle of being in a rut and bring the joy back into life – and from changing our mindset to creating moments of inspiration and spontaneity, we’ve got the expert-backed strategies to get you back on track. 

Join us as we discuss:

  • How to know if you’re in a rut
  • Finding the source and identifying limiting beliefs
  • Getting out of your own way and taking responsibility 
  • Checking in with your emotional bank account
  • Setting manageable goals that will create momentum
  • Finding inspiration through creativity and spontaneity 
  • The life-changing effects of practicing gratitude
  • Why falling in love with change is the antidote to getting “stuck”

We hope this episode inspires you to make positive change and kick those ruts to the curb!
