Has this ever happened to you?
One day, life seems to be going great and everything seems to be progressing well.
But the next day, you wake up with no motivation whatsoever and you suddenly feel stuck.
Just going through your daily routine is a struggle and it feels like a chore. And to make matters worse, you beat yourself up for not being as productive as you'd like to be.
What happened is you've entered a mental rut.
It's basically a state of mind where you feel stuck, purposeless and you're unable to motivate yourself.
And doing anything that day can be difficult.
Days like these will come unexpectedly, seemingly out of nowhere, and can last for days or even weeks.
In today's video I'll talk about how to get out of this state.

1. Allow yourself to take a break, it will keep your productivity up and prevent burnout. 2. Exercise 3. Have a balanced diet, eat nutritious food and stay hydrated. 4. Get enough sleep, typically 7-9 hours 5. Go outside occasionally and surround yourself in nature 6. Switch up your routine, do something differently, to give yourself something to look forward to 7. Write down your goals and aim for them 8. Start small and build up your productivity from there 9. This too shall pass, wait for the good times that will come!

I learned the hard way that doing the same thing day after day and expecting different results ultimately will drive you insane. I wish these self help videos were around back in my 20s because at the time I had absolutely no guidance in this crazy game we call life.

your thoughts resonate mine. I too felt the same after having my share of journey .With this same thought I started my channel on protecting our mental health in everyday life.(not writing this comment trying to promote here). good luck

@marshwetland3808 Год назад

I'm there now. Two days, I am in a rut, and today is the third day. I did some exercise while watching. Usually not difficult to exercise, but this rut is different. Apathetic about everything. Well, wish me luck - I need to get work done today.

"You can't expect to be happy if you're in a box all day. You need sunshine, fresh air and nature." Hard to get some fresh air when in the middle of a pandemic. I've been 3 weeks inside and I thought I had my routine sorted, but now I feel stuck and don't really know what to do.

I was totally being unproductive for the past few days. Maybe I shall be able to come out of it after watching this video. May God bless you for trying to uplift people❤

@scoobydoobies Год назад

An instant fix I've found is to clean. Your car, your room, the kitchen, etc, just find something and do a deep clean. It calms down your panic mode, gets you out of any stimulation manic episode, and gets your body moving.

@silentsnooc Год назад

Absolutely true. The hard part isn't even the act of cleaning. It's the "getting up" which is the hard part. So, if that happens to you, break it down to the first tiny little thing that you can do. Like.. fill up the dishwasher or empty it. Don't think about cleaning the entire kitchen, just do the smallest thing that you can do - something that takes only a minute. Once you're in, you're in.

@MsCheesemonster13 Год назад

Yes; it does all that you say, AND has to be done anyway. If you are anxious, living in a mess seems to make it worse, I find. While I’m cleaning, I pull out anything I need for a particular task and keep it together in one spot, so when I eventually start tackling the job, I don’t have to use time and energy finding everything I will be using. Doing this means I actually feel that I’m one step closer to finishing it.

@WriteSign Год назад

Oh my GOSH I hate to clean SO MUCH! But sometimes it really does work to just let yourself get really manic about it... problem is if I don't get it totally "done" I'm angry at myself for not finishing and then sad it still looks so bad + I have so much to do still... it's a catch 22 situation at my house LOL

@annahenry3025 Год назад

I always blame myself when I take a break and it’s hard for me to take breaks enthusiastically because I feel like I should be working then, just as you said. I will think of “rest=productivity” from now on. Resting is important for me to be more productive. Thank you for that tip.

@HazFrostYT 3 года назад

Your channel has taught me so many things that I can't even imagine. I'm a lazy guy who sits on a pc watching youtube and playing video games for the whole day. Little did I know how much I didn't know about why I was doing it. There is dopamine, laziness, will power, and so much more. Even if you think twice about it you can't counter how much you want dopamine, how lazy you are or anything like that. And if you do, it will feel awful. It depends on how you were made. Productivity is something VERY difficult for me, and sometimes I can't do these simples steps listed in your videos. Such as going outside for a walk since I'm stuck in my home. But when I grow up this is going to be a life changer. Thanks.

You're being selfish. Think about the .3% of old people who are on death's door already who might die 3 month earlier if they catch covid. Your hopes and dreams, mental health and financial stability mean nothing compared to 88 y/o Ethel being able to lay in bed at the nursing home for 3 additional months.
