6 Signs You’re Stuck in a Rut
And zero advice on how to get out of it.
You no longer look forward to the day ahead.
Long ago, life felt different. There was excitement- that amazing rush. You splashed around in the pool of uncertainty with boundless optimism.
Who would you meet?
What unpredictable story would unravel itself with you as a character in it?
Things are different now. Excitement seems like it requires a lot of energy. It’s something reserved for the pliable spirits just starting out in the world of adulthood. So, not you.
What to do when life becomes a groundhog day and your one important decision is whether or not you will be skipping the staff meeting, opting instead to “attend” via Zoom? On the one hand, not once has attendance been useful to you. On the other hand, it’s frowned upon to join virtually when the meeting room is a mere 20 steps away from your desk.
If you do attend in person, you take your laptop along so you can lament to your friend over chat about this waste of time gathering. Your friend commiserates. They’re stuck in their own rut.
