You may think that being in a rut means you aren't expending any energy: not so. Being negative is emotionally draining. And if you really are not doing anything, where is your natural energy going? It's such a waste. Focus on the future. Be strong. The next step is right in front of you. You just have to reach for it.
8. Turn the Page

Every story has an ending but it doesn't just happen. You have to write your story. You have to build it chapter by chapter, page by page. It's time to turn the page hunny.
9. Climb the Mountain
/filters:quality(70)/content/ii/e5/gxr4oheo57cc49fe41b5f134003051_564x564.jpg)
Do you want to live a life of achievement or do you want to coast along, leaving no real legacy. Climb the mountain. It's there. It's not going anywhere. But you can. Climb as many mountains as you like.
Are you now ready to move on and make your rut a thing of the past?
