Going Through the Motions or the Rut
The rut is not a fun place to visit. Sometimes we are shoved in there like we are put into a penalty box.
Going through the Motions – Buffy Summers sang this song in the musical television show Once More with Feeling. She went on living day to day, but nothing was penetrating her heart. She did not feel anything.
This is something we all suffer at sometime in our life. The same things keep repeating over and over again, and sometimes it feels like no matter what we do, everything feels stagnated. It can be from anything, work, job hunting, or anything. It might not be the whole or our life, but we feel it penetrating our lives’ energy like a poison.
Usually when one gets in this type of turmoil, there is only one thing to do – take a break.
The situation needs to be reviewed and reworked. You have to look at the bigger picture. The outcome to whatever you are trying to achieve is not arriving because the next feeling to follow is usually frustration, then disgust. In other words, you have hit a rut in the road. An action has to be taken but it has to be different in order to get a different result.
This can be easier said then done if you do not know the answer to solve the puzzle of getting out of the rut. That is why life is a journey, and at times should not be taken seriously.
