Ruts are part of life. I think that it’s necessary to accept them in order to get through them. The tricky bit though is that some ruts are easier to overcome and others are really hard to.
A couple of months ago, I found myself in exactly that place—I was in a rut for like two years. It stopped being about “oh I need to give myself grace and just let myself live through it” no, this time I needed to force myself out of it.
My rut wasn’t just about me. It was fueled by life with a toddler who refuses to have a fixed sleeping schedule. Some mornings, I was up at 5 a.m.; other days, it was closer to 9. Nights area always unpredictable too. The chaos of parenthood made consistency feel impossible. But it also forced me to rethink how to reclaim structure in my life (and **structure** is actually my word for 2025). So here's what worked for me.
