Re: What RUT are you in? Or do you know someone who is?

That is a great workbook idea! One rut I have is mental. I guess you'd call them "thinking ruts".

For example, certian things happen to me in life and it triggers something like a "tape" in my head, and unless I catch it and turn it off, and mentally shift to another thought or way of thinking, old patterns of feelings and actions take place, causing another rut and on and on it goes.
