Stuck in a Rut?

"Stuck in a Rut?"

Do you sometimes feel like you are stuck in a rut that gets deeper every day? Today I'll tell you about something you can do to help yourself climb up and out.

Are you feeling stuck these days? Do you feel like you've run out of gas and are stranded in a place you don't want to be? If so, one way to get yourself moving again is to create your own challenge.

Now, if you're wondering "Why in the world do I need another challenge, when I haven't been able to solve the problems at hand," it's because creating your own challenge is different. It can give you the opportunity to purposely test yourself in new situations, and then return to the old problems with renewed vitality, vigor, and strength.

By creating a challenge, you set the limits of the test based only on your own estimation of your potential. The risks you'll be taking are self-determined, so the challenges you create are completely different than those that have come to you unbidden. They become touchstones of growth, a proving ground for inner potential, a reminder to you that you are competent, and a great boost to your self-confidence.

Choose a challenge that has meaning to you, not just to those around you, and make it something that you really believe you can pull off. Tackle it with all the energy and resources you have to make sure you succeed. Then, when you do, use that success to catapult you out of your rut and on to bigger things!
