No matter how successful you are, there are times you will find yourself in a rut. The longer you stay there, the less productive, inspired and happy you will become. Sometimes, though, the littlest change is all it take to deliver a big impact.
This simple list contains 20 ideas to help you reset and get back on track.
___ Get enough Rest! Sleep well, 8-9 hours a night

These are just 20 ideas of things you can do to shake yourself out of a rut. The possibilities are endless. My goal with this list is to get you moving, to get you started and leave you with this idea: If you are unhappy with the way things are, the good news is that the way things are is not the way things HAVE TO BE. You can change the way things are by changing the things you do. Try it, you’ll see.
