Juan to pull yourself out of a rut?

Hey there. Before we start I need to explain what a "rut" is... A rut is:


1. A sunken track or groove made by the passage of vehicles.
2. A fixed, usually boring routine.


We of course will be discussing the second definition of a rut. All of us have daily routines that we stick to and sometimes they help us start up the day and sometimes the help us to relieve stress but once in a while we can get stuck with a routine that slows us down or puts unnecessary pressure in our lives. 


Courtesy of lifehacker here is what you can do to get yourself out of a rut in your life.



Falling into a rut or a deep funk is really easy. Dragging yourself out of it is another thing. Sometimes all you need to do to pick yourself up is deal with one small task you didn't even know was weighing on you.
There are probably several things you've been meaning to do but never got around to doing—things that, if you were to accomplish them, could dramatically lift your spirits or get you going again. Things like clearing off a messy desk or dealing with non-urgent paperwork that you've been shuffling around daily.
When you're in a rut—just going through the motions—or, worse, at rock bottom and feel like you're incapable of doing anything, try doing just one small thing that has plagued you forever. Because it's bothered you for so long, the sense of accomplishment may be greater.
Fix a wobbly doorknob that's been bugging you, cancel that Netflix subscription already, make that doctor's appointment you've been putting off.
