An excellent, simply expressed article. Thank you very much. I relate to it particularly today as this is my first day working full time in my own business. I’ve had challenges in the past – two businesses failed.

And though I know I’ve changed a lot and now have a lot more to offer people than I ever had before it is still rather scary.

My own style is often to write something silly. Hence the link below…

I have a love/hate relationship with the line “When you’re not practicing, someone else in the world is.” This is a common phrase used amongst triathlete friends of mine. It can certainly get you up in the morning to get after it. My motto is to keep after it because the highs and lows are to be expected. New to your site and enjoying it:)

Really like: “Bold up!”

LOVE: “Bet on yourself!”

I recently had a similar day. It had to do with my stagnate readership AND the fact that my mom wasn’t even reading my stuff. My game plan included:

• Praying – It’s amazing what God will do when you renew your mind and put the emphasis back on Him. I realized that our fellowship was being compromised by my pride and self-assurance. I was trying to tackle this adventure alone, which is futile and stupid;

• Listening to my own Daily Whisper – an inspirational feature on my blog (I WILL be sharing this post soon);

• Shifting my perspective and realizing that I simply needed more stalkers.

Hi Tess,

Thanks for the article. I have recently subscribed to your posts and they are wonderful. When I’m in a rut, as Karen has mentioned earlier, I too surrender to the Universe. I surrender what is causing me to be in that rut. It truly helps when I release it to the Universe. I just need to keep reminding myself to do that. When I forget to do that, I get tense and my tension keeps building up. Thank you once again for sharing this

When I’ve been in a rut I tried to come out but I couldn’t do it alone. It was like I was getting dragged down deeper. I got help from the Lord. and I’m all the better for it. Thanks for the informative post.

Hi Tess,

To get out of ruts, I make sure I get enough sleep because I have learned over the years just how badly I do when I’m tired and/or sleepy.

I also try to do something different. Maybe I’ll lie on the couch and read a fiction novel, something I rarely do since I’m always thinking I need to be DOING and learning, not indulging in something so extraneous as a novel.

Or I’ll start a new project, one that really interests me to get the juices flowing again.

Thanks for a great post!

Giving thanks does it for me every time these days! As I stop to give thanks for all the little stuff, I get so filled up with joy that I can jump right over every hurdle in sight!

‘Let it be’ is the key point to me, Tess. When I care/worry less about the outcome, I gain the courage to move on. Accept that some aspects are uncontrollable. So just do what you think and feel is right and let things happen as it is. In the end, “If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.” (Victoria Holt)

Hi Tess,

Fear does hold us back. I can find myself sinking into it at times as well, even though I know it is not productive. I love your steps that help get us back on track. The two that jump out at me are GIve Thanks and Get quiet and let it be. Gratitude and love work wonders. Thanks for an inspiring post!
