When life is monotonous, we feel stuck in a rut and life feels boring and possibly painful at some point. There is a never-ending debate about methods and therapies to diminish such thoughts. Thomas N Salzano, a New Jersy based hairstylist, and a thoughtful blogger write, "You can change your thought of 'feeling stuck or trapped' by just changing your habits. But the real hurdle is to check which habits you need to change to bring back happiness and zeal in your life."
He has penned down following habits that must be changed to get rid of the sticky mindset
1. Uncover Your Happiness Guide: Every person is unique and has his/her own unique formula of happiness. So, stop following others and discontinue to live their lifestyle to be happy. Instead, identify your happiness guide and do things that add comfort and delight to your life. Your journey of life is different from other people, live it on your own terms.
2. Step Forward & Take An Action: Reading or chanting inspirational quotes are of no use unless you actually use them in your real life. If you are stuck in a rut, only you can help yourself to get out of it. Free yourself from depressive thoughts and take an action to overcome them to step in a bright and happy future.
3. Value Your Efforts: No one can understand you better than your own self. Open your mindset to put an attempt to understand the priority of things you do and then value your efforts you try doing them. For example, if you hate working late but that is the only way to get a promotion, then develop your mindset to see the fruitful results of your struggles. This will reduce your stress and life will be much easy.
4. Stop Complaining: Wailing and grieving about life will put you in a deep well of sorrow and depression. The more you complain about your struggles, the more helpless you become to break the prison of anxiety. Therefore, your optimist nature is the key to unlock yourself from the unpleasant rut and celebrate each day by perceiving beauty in little things.
5. Spend Time With Your Loved Ones: It's important to take a break from your daily routine to return to work with higher enthusiasm. Go on a vacation or spend time with your loved ones. Life will suddenly become beautiful and happening. The fear of failures and judgement will vanish and you will find the peace within you.
