Practical Tools for Breaking Free from Stagnation
We all hit ruts. The key is not to avoid them, but to have a toolkit ready for when they arrive. Steve Chandler’s book is full of such tools. Start with the deathbed exercise—imagine what you’d regret not doing, and let that guide your priorities.
Next, act immediately. Don’t wait for the perfect moment—just start. Even small actions build momentum. Simplify your routines: combine tasks, make chores fun, and eliminate distractions.
When setbacks happen, plan for renewal. Take a break, reflect, and come back stronger. Use laughter and play to refresh your spirit and keep motivation high.
Most importantly, remember that motivation is a daily practice, not a one-time event. With the right tools, you can turn any rut into a launching pad for growth.
