What Pulls You Out of a Rut?

[Hazel]

Every now and then I hit a stretch where everything feels flat, even if nothing is “wrong.” I’m curious what helps others break out of that kind of rut. Is it a change of scenery, a conversation, or something simple you do for yourself?

That happens to me sometimes, and I try to pull up myself by engaging in activities that I enjoy, for instance, I watch TV shows and movies, I go for a walk, I even go for hiking. I read books, mostly philosophical books. I also engage on cooking and gardening. My favorite actives always bring me out of such situations

For me, it’s small wins. So it's nothing dramatic. Cleaning my room, taking a walk, finishing one small task pulls me out. Once I move a little, I’d gather the energy to keep going. Talking to someone I trust also helps a lot too.

This! Even if you just do a small task. I've been in a rut where I can't really do much because of an injury. One thing I have been able to do is make the bed. It's one task that was easy enough for me to do, even at the beginning when I first got my injury.
