Stuck in a rut

Dear Meagan,

Right now you are feeling 'stuck in a rut.' We have definitely all been there, when it feels like your wheels are spinning but they aren't really going anywhere, and you are kind of bored with your current circumstances. While it would be awesome sauce if someone could come and just pull you out, that isn't usually the case. The only person who can slowly but surely get you out of that rut is (you guessed it) YOU. Plan out what you want your days and your life to look like then start filling in the activities and pieces you need in order to make that happen. If you begin to feel sorry for yourself, just take a deep breath and push through. There is no such thing as a permanent rut, you are bound to get out of it but you will need to push yourself. One step at a time you make the small decisions to pull yourself out. If you want to have a more positive attitude then correct every negative thought you have. And just keep doing things that you enjoy doing and that make you feel fulfilled.

Make sure to emphasize the things that promote your health and happiness :) Write out the activities, foods, etc. that will do that for you and make sure you are doing those things! And the good news is that your favorite sister (wink wink) is coming down to visit you Friday! While I can't physically pull you out of the rut, we can do things that we enjoy (walk in the park, get our nails done, get lunch) to get positive energy and ideas flowing ;)

I love you schwester, you are the best! I am so grateful to have you as such a good friend in my life!!!!

XOXO,

Brooke
