How To Encourage Yourself Out Of A Rut Lonita-style

• You get up, and you force yourself to do something, ANYTHING, that is NOT part of your routine.
• Drive a different way to school or work.
• Stop at a store you've never been to before.
• Walk down your street and actually LOOK at everything that's on it.
• Notice all the little things. "This person's mailbox is a different shade of white than that person's."
• Go to the movies, even if it's by yourself.
• Take up a hobby that forces you out of the house. Tai Chi maybe... also good for weight loss and keeping fit.
• Go to the grocery store and buy something to cook that you've never cooked or eaten before.
• Go buy a new shirt.
