Hi Gordon!
Many of my ruts are kid related (wonder why?!) though I have been incredibly productive lately.
I figured out the WHY there, also!
#1) Focusing on Gratitude
#2) Creating a Daily Possibilities List that does not change, I simply list the standard tasks I would complete on a perfect day.
I don't hold myself at gun point to finish them off cause it would be a HUGE stretch! I DO find myself reaching more and more each day though, its AMAZING what this one tool has done for me.
Here are some ruts:
Eating the same food all the time cause its what the kids like instead of exposing them to new stuff
Not trying new parenting techniques even though this ONE behaviour is driving me nuts because "I am so tired and it would take too much energy!" (as if the behaviour is not draining energy?!)
I think you said Unsatisfying Sex. How about Not having ANY sex?! Although I am a firm believer in No Sex is Better than Bad Sex...but that is a topic for another place and time!
Not taking time to declutter daily so clutter piles up and becomes an energy clogger extraordinaire
Writing/Reading the same Genre/Authors all the time
Only participating in one form of physical exercise
Having Cookie Cutter Friends (all look, sound, dress, everything is alike).
I am sure I could come up with more....but I am heading to sleep soon! Its WAYYYY too late!
With Purpose and Passion,
