Fortunately, I never have to worry about being stuck in a rut.

I have a toolbox just brimming with handy tools I can rely on to keep me moving toward where I want to go!

If I feel I’m sinking into a rut at work, I pull out my time management skills and rework my schedule.

I rearrange my tasks according to my priorities, making sure I get the most important ones accomplished.

If necessary, the lesser priorities can wait.

I then delegate some of the tasks to others who are more willing and able to accomplish them.

This gives me more time to do the things I want to do!

When I spend more time on what I desire to do, it refreshes me and gives me more energy for all my tasks.

When my home life starts to look like a rut-in-progress, I spice things up with my creativity.

I rearrange furniture, try new foods or recipes, and come up with new ideas for our family time.

Everyone gets involved in the new activities and we avoid the rut!

When I feel like I am getting stuck in a rut from too much work, I add some fun!

I take time for myself to rest and rejuvenate.

During my “me” time, I do whatever I want to do, whether it is all by myself or with friends or loved ones.

When I return to my tasks, I have a renewed passion and energy.

Today, I choose to bring variety into my life and become “rutless” by stocking my toolbox with handy tools to get rid of whatever ruts that try to form in my path.

What tools can you use to get you out and back on your path?

What are some fun things you like to do that can bring you joy?

As they say, “Today is the first day of the rest of my life.”

In this new life, I choose to let go of any negative feelings I may harbor about myself and, instead, embrace the real me – faults and all!

After all, it’s my faults and imperfections that make me the perfectly unique individual I am today.

No one is just like me and I like it that way!

Loving and accepting all of me make it possible for others to love me completely.

When I love myself first, I can more easily love others and their faults, too.

In this way, my relationships are based on truth rather than some unreal picture I have of someone or the one they have of me.

Loving myself strengthens my self-confidence and empowers me with an optimistic attitude – both of which can serve to make my life more fulfilled and bring me success.

I can still seek self-improvement, even when I accept my faults.

Accepting them in the first place actually helps me to get where I want to be.

Even though I have talents I desire to strengthen, weaknesses I prefer to lessen, and habits I want to break, accepting where I am with them today is the first step to a successful change.

Thinking positively about myself helps me improve in a positive way.

Today, I plan a day of self-discovery and love.

I recognize and accept each and every imperfection and I compliment myself on my strengths as they each show themselves throughout the day.

What parts of yourself do you harbor negative feelings about?

How can you turn your frown upside down?

Failure is simply a stepping-stone on your way to success.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that it’s easy to deal with or something that should be taken lightly, but how you deal with failure will determine not only your future success, but also how easy it will be to achieve.

Everyone has different coping mechanisms and ways they react to failure.

However, learning the ways that more often lead you to success can help you enormously!

Here are some tips on how to pick yourself up after you fail:

1. Learn from your failure. There is a lesson to be learned each time you fail.

Discover what this lesson is and keep it in mind during future attempts at success.

If you don’t learn from your failure, you’ll keep repeating the same mistakes.

2. Forge ahead. It’s completely normal to feel like giving up when you’re first hit by failure.

The most important part of failure is what you do afterwards.

So strive to have confidence in yourself.

This experience may very well be your last step before you reach great success!

3. Surround yourself with good people. It’s a good idea to be surrounded by like-minded and positive people.

This is especially important when you’re dealing with the negative emotions that may accompany failure.

Positive people will inspire you to pick yourself up and go further than you thought you could go.

4. Set goals. If you’ve failed at a large task, think about setting smaller, immediate goals.

If you build your way up to completing a difficult task using small steps, each step may not feel so overwhelming.

When you’re finished, you’ll be amazed at what you achieved!

5. Visualize your dreams. Fight the negative thoughts that creep up after failure by visualizing yourself meeting your goal.

Take the time to picture yourself successfully going through each step it will take to reach your goal.

6. Be enthusiastic. When you first set out to achieve something big, chances are you approached the task at hand with a great deal of enthusiasm.

If you meet failure once or even several times, it’s important to maintain the enthusiastic force to give you the energy and drive to continue toward your goal.

7. Write it down. Keep a journal that details your personal thoughts, goals, and attempts.

It will help you stay organized and focused on success.

Another good exercise is to write your goal on a piece of paper and place it somewhere where you can see it several times each day to remind yourself to take action toward this desire.

8. Don’t dwell in the past. The past doesn’t have to be your present or future.

Just because you had a setback, it doesn’t mean that it will continue to be the case. The only way to achieve your goals is to keep trying.

9. Think about the worst case scenario. What’s the worst thing that can happen if you fail?

Some people are so concerned with success and have such a horrible fear of failure that they don’t consider whether or not the worst case scenario is all that bad!

Realizing that failure may only mean a small delay toward your eventual success can alleviate some of your fears and give you the confidence to succeed.

Just Keep Trying

It’s likely that you can think of someone you know who set his or her mind on a goal and would stop at nothing to achieve it.

It’s not just some kind of story or fantasy – this could be you, too!

Adopt this drive and apply it to your situation.

When you believe in yourself and your abilities, you’ll gain the drive to keep moving forward and you’ll feel unstoppable.

How easy or difficult is it for you to overcome failure?

What lesson did you learn from your last failure?
