A few things that helped me a while back, first of all was starting to ignore what I thought I ‘should’ be doing according to others.
Second was just engaging and working harder on the day to day, and interesting things grew out of that.
I didn’t create some master plan, I just starting to be more assertive and dedicated to the small stuff (like my work, studies at the time, friends, family, even cleaning, etc.) and it opened up unexpected doors.
I guess the thing that can be scary when you think you’re in a rut is, how do I get out of it. It can be almost paralyzing.
But it’s not so hard to just take small steps, day by day. It’s amazing how far, and where, it takes you.
