How to get out of a rut

We get stuck in a repeating situation that isn’t working when we use the same pattern of thinking.

All action is preceded by thought, and it’s the thoughts that are the problem.

“You can’t solve a problem with the same thinking that created it.” – Albert Einstein

What old Albert said is pretty fundamental when we have a problem.  We cause most of our own problems.

But our thinking comes from our beliefs and expectations.  They are also influenced by our environment.  And if we want to think anew to get out of a rut, our beliefs and expectations remain.

So how do we change them?  

We get new inputs.  We learn something new.  We talk to people we admire and respect for their advice.  We can read a book or listen to a podcast or watch a video and get other information and opinions.  With new information we can do some new thinking which leads to new action – and we can climb out of the rut.

How do you get out of a rut?  Break your pattern of thinking by learning something new and spending time in new places.

 

Master your situation to move up.

You will travel the same ground until your understanding of it is complete.

Once you have mastered being you in this situation, then you can move up to a higher level.

If you are struggling in it now, you can’t go higher.

Are you mastering your situation?

Small minds talk about other people

The wisest among us don’t spend their time talking about other people – gossiping, talking about other people stumbling, having trouble or failing.

They know they could waste endless hours trying to bring others down this way to make themselves feel relatively better.

They understand human nature, and the behaviors and trials of other people do not surprise them anyway.

The top people talk about ideas.  Ideas they have learned or are studying.

They talk about ideas to solve problems, get better, and elevate themselves and others.

What do you talk about?

“I will prepare and my time will come”

You can create your own great opportunities.

Opportunity comes all the time, but it cannot be taken advantage of or even recognized by those who are not ready for them.

Learn.  Train.  Prepare.

Do it as if you know your time will come….and it will.
