Most people can admit that they've found themselves at one point or another feeling like they are not themselves. They may feel trapped in a cycle that they don't like.
Getting stuck in a rut（刻板乏味的生活）means you're not sure how to go forward or backward. If you think this sounds like you, then you're not alone. The great news is that you can turn things around and get yourself back up in no time. Take a look at the following tips.
Make a Change
The first step to getting out of the situation is to identify what it is about the circumstances that are getting you down. In that case, you should move somewhere else. In other cases, you may hate your job. Rather than simply accepting it as your fate, start looking for new jobs. The idea is to start taking action instead of just being a spectator of your life.
Accept Things as They Are
Once you start taking action to change the situation, then it becomes much easier to accept things as they are. Acceptance doesn't mean you accept that things never change. Stop allowing yourself to live in denial（拒不承认）. Things will be much easier to improve if you acknowledge things as they truly are. You're in a rut, and that's perfectly okay!
Treat Your Body Well
All too often, people don't realize the connection between mind and body. If you're feeling less than being stellar（精彩的;杰出的）in your mind, then it may have something to do with how you're treating your body. You may achieve it by doing things like eating well or engaging in more exercise. Treat your body well, and your mind will follow.
Don't forget the importance of allowing yourself some breathing room and a break once in a while. Practice self-care by doing things like spending time with friends or getting your hair done. The idea is refreshing yourself so that you don't burn out. Pushing yourself too hard will only worsen your rut. Recharge your battery by remembering to refresh yourself.
