You must have chaos in your heart to give birth to stars. - Nietzsche |
All this to look forward to & I've been stuck in a "funk." My exercise & creative goals for June were a big FAIL. So this month is all about re-establishing a consistent routine of exercise, healthy eating & creating.
Tell me friends, what do you do to get out of ruts/funks? How do you motivate yourself to get back on track with your goals?

There's a whole section in "The Creative Habit" book about getting out of ruts... I think you mentioned you had that book on your shelf. It's definitely a great and inspiring read!
My belated birthday my dear friend!
When I'm in a rut with my goals, I break it down to baby steps and make sure I do at least ONE thing every day. For instance, in my "endeavor/career" goal, I was stuck so one day all I did was update my LinkedIn. The next day, I'd send out a couple of emails. The day after that, I updated my resume. Etc.
Action breeds more action.
Hi beautiful,
I think personal kindness is really important when getting out of a funk. Set goals you want, instead of those you think you should be reaching for. Provide yourself small incentives.
Know that you are loved.
@Caiti - Thanks! That's the next nonfiction book I'm going to read.
@Linda - Excellent advice - starting can be the hardest part.
@Amanda - Thanks lovely. Yes - kindness & self-compassion are musts. I try to practice them but fall short a lot of the time.
i think it's important to set realistic goals for yourself. if you plan for too much, you can get overwhelmed. i keep myself motivated by sticking to one or two goals a day, the first one being exercise and then a house task a day.
happy blogaversary and hope you had a fantastic birthday :)
@Kat-Very good advice. And very manageable. That's my problem. I try to do too many things all at once & then get upset when I can't accomplish them all.
