Losing your mojo normally happens when a series of events distracts
you from your current routine. You take a break, go on a vacay, meet someone new,
it could be a number of things. Whilst sometimes these are planned distractions
what starts as a week’s ‘break’ can quickly delve into a bit of mojo lacking
rut.
As a creature of routine, I routinely get myself into these
situations whenever I've given myself some time off and it causes me massive anxiety when I find myself in these ruts,
so I thought id run through, what I do, what I’m doing to get myself out of one
when it occurs.
Step 1: Embrace the rut. Its so easy to think there is
something much deeper going on than we simply can’t be arsed right? Sometimes its
just that we simply can’t be arsed. For an extended period. Facing that fact, accepting
your current mind set and wanting to move past it, is the only way to get through
this.
Step 2: Write lists, revisit your goals, revisit your why, revisit
your earlier action notes, and rewrite it all.
Step 3: Tip stolen from my friend as she gets through her
bikini prep: live hour by hour - 30 minutes
by 30 minutes. Focus on the task in front of you.
Step 4: Do other things. Sometimes the reason we back ourselves
into these rut corners is because it seems like the task right in front of us
is too overwhelming. If this is the case, try and focus on other things that
make you feel like you are being productive in areas of your life. The sense of
satisfaction you get from the little things, often help to rebuild the self
confidence your lacking to attack the bigger thing. Ya get me?
Step 5: Realise you’re not alone, even if they don’t admit
to it, everyone goes through phases of mojo abandonment. It’s normal. We can’t
all be superhumans 100% of the time, if we were then we’d have nothing to work
towards and life would be boring.
