Getting out of Ruts and doing what's important

[bmarketguy]

Over the last few months I've been slowly building a cheat sheet for when I'm in a rut and to get me back on track. The worst thing about these ruts is that they tend to be compounding. I don't want to complete something so I play some video games or masturbate and take a nap. Next thing I know the day is over, my wife is home, and it's time for bed. Then next day I repeat. This can go on for WEEKS without me taking any REAL steps towards my Fastlane goals. To help fight this I'm making this cheat sheet. As long as I know I'm in this cycle I can look at my list and just go through it until one of them kick starts me. I'm hoping that some of these help all of you reach your goals and I would love to hear some of your favorite life hacks to end a rut and get you back on track.

1. What is the smallest step you can take toward your goal? Are you willing to take it? If not, what's the next smallest thing?
2. Look deep - What's actually holding you back? - What are you feeling? Can you let this go?
3. What are you pretending?
4. Go for a walk or exercise
5. Eat something healthy - REALLY healthy
6. What if what you think to be true isn't?
7. Breathing exercises - Wim Hof Method - Mindfulness Meditation - Long deep breathes - Ski breathes
8. What you're doing doesn't have to be perfect - Something is better than nothing
9. Look at your goals and commitments - Is your way of being inline with these goals and commitments?
10. Pick a small task you want to get done - Either in your head or in writing, go through the entire process. Notice that it really wasn't as bad as your mind is leading you to believe

Let me know what you all think!
