Stuck In A Rut Or Self-made Prision?

 

Being in a rut keeps you stuck in the same place, day after day; perhaps it feels like you’re in a self-made prision that you cannot escape.

If the rut doesn’t change and status quo isn’t challenged, then nothing positive will change for you. Your life will not feel like you have purpose.

You will not be excited about your life, and you will probably feel bored doing the same thing every day; day in and day out.

Status quo has to change if you want a different outcome than you usually get. That means challenging your rut, changing some things in your life that are not as fulfilling as you want, and setting new goals. These goals need to be achievable in the short-run and in the long-run as well.

If you want to change your life and make it more of what you want, you need to be precise in what you want, think, and say. You need to convince your subconsciouse mind that you can have the life you want; otherwise nothing will change.  

The subconscious mind gathers information as data and logs it into the brain. It cannot tell the difference between true or false, fantasy or real. It just gathers the information; that’s all. You can easily reprogram your mind to be what you want in reality if you quit telling yourself things that you don’t really want. Everyday, you need to be telling yourself the things you want and take every opportunity to convince youself and others that things will change.

To an extent, the mind’s creative juices can bring into reality what you think about, if it is thought about often enough to make a permanent impression on your mind. Permanent impressions are embedded on the brain when emotions are attached to an idea, a phrase, or an image.

Success-oriented programs use positive affirmations to help imprint constructive information into your brain. They use inspiring messages that have emotions attached to it. That’s why you are told to focus on your dreams (the “WOW” or the “WHY”) when building your business or trying to achieve what you want.

Affirmations use scripts that, when said in present tense as if already attained,  represent your goals and dreams. When repeated on a daily basis, new concepts can be imprinted on your mind. When done correctly, powerful dynamics change  your life. When done wrong, it is hard, if not impossible to correct without proper intervention.

Now that you understand the power your mind has to create what you believe, you can see why it is important to control your self-talk, what you say to others, and what you allow others to say to you. What you say must be in agreement with what your affirmations say about you. If it’s in contradiction, your life will not change.

Being stuck in your rut prevents you from changing your thinking. When you stop believing things will be different, when you think your life cannot change and be what you dream of, you no longer have faith in the future. Neither will you have faith in your ability to make things better for yourself or your family.

Until you challenge status quo and recognize that you are living in a rut, your life will continue to be unsatisfying and without meaning. So what can you do to change your rut?  I suggest you start small, with changes that others will not notice in the beginning: take a different route to work, answer the phone different than usual, talk kinder to your family members and co-workers.  

Make a list of what you want and then tell yourself that you can make these dreams real. You need someone to  account to that understands your visions and goals. Someone you can bounce ideas off of. If you need someone to fill this role, I am willing to help you. I am a really good listener, supporter, and I will NOT try to push an opportunity on you or a product. I am willing to help you with NO STRINGS ATTACHED!
