Have you ever hit a wall with your:
- -workout routine
- -spiritual rituals
- -foods you eat
- -and others?
Me too!
Recently, I found myself in a rut when it comes to moving my body, feeding myself nutritious foods, and even my spiritual practices.
I have come out of the other side and wanted to share some things you could try if you are struggling in this way, too.
Things To Try When You Are Feeling Uninspired
- First, just allow yourself to be in this rut. It won’t last forever, and the harder you are on yourself, the worse it will feel. Try to ride it out before problem solving.
- Ask Tik Tok
- Really! I have been wanting to try some new foods, so I went to Tik Tok and searched hashtags I wanted to learn more about. I am personally interested in adding more smoothies to my diet, but you could search for anything! Once you figure out what you are wanting to find, type the terms into the “search” box. You’ll be amazed at how many videos with step by step guides come up.
- Tell a friend
- Support from loved ones is so important when we’re in a funk. Reaching out and telling someone who we know cares about us will help us to feel like we’re not alone. They might also come up with some ingenius ideas for you to try.
- Show yourself some compassion
- Reminding yourself that all people struggle from time to time can do so much for your mental health. No one is in this alone. Check out Insight Timer for some great meditations on self care and self compassion, like this one.
- Take on small step toward your goals
- Even doing something like visualizing yourself completing the task that has been on your list can help nudge you toward achieving it. Do one little thing to bring you closer. For instance, if moving your body is something that has felt very uninspiring, close your eyes and see yourself moving in a way that is fun. Then, take a small step toward that goal, like putting your running shoes on. See if you then feel like going for a walk. If not, no pressure. Try again tomorrow.
I hope these ideas sparked some hope for you to be able to take an uninspiring moment in time and help yourself through it.
