zengirl Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 What kind of a rut? There are ruts that are comfortable and content-making, if a bit lazy, and there are ruts that are miserable. Different needs. When I was in a miserable rut, I traveled the world for 2 years to totally change my life and re-make it, socially as well as otherwise. Haven't really fell into one of those since. I get complacent every now and again, socially: same people, same places, whatever. But in that case, I wait for the motivation to come to me to change, because I'm mostly happy. It's still a rut, but a different kind of rut. If you're in a rut that in any way makes you unhappy, the key is to take away the things that make it manageable unhappiness and shock the system, I'd say. Link to post Share on other sites
