Day 7: Update on the 'rut' situation

7/365

It has almost been a week since I decided to climb out of my rut. Things have actually been going pretty well. I’ve kept up my daily 40-minute walks (still not sure why it’s 40 minutes specifically, but it’s working), I’m sleeping better, I’m eating my healthy prepped lunches, and I’m hydrating. So far, I’m doing well with The Three Pillars of Not Spiralling Completely™ (refer to Day 2 if you’re unsure what these are).

Despite feeling much better, the self-loathing hasn’t completely stopped. I’m still questioning everything — the difference now is that there are guardrails. Which is progress… I think.

So, I have a few questions that I am hoping someone can help me answer:

• What do we do when everything in life feels stale?

• Should we focus on one big change, or a few small ones?

• And how much grace should we allow ourselves in the process?
