Internal momentum - external change

So I saw a great quote in the Power of Habit book by Jack D Hodge  - "Choose your rut carefully! The story talked of a Canadian road which in a particular season got muddy, dry and hard.  They put up a sign each season stating "choose your rut carefully as you will be travelling it for 20 km."  I laughed at myself as I thought about this?

How about you - thought about any ruts recently?  Happy with how far you're sticking with them?  And just perhaps if we could see how long we might be travelling that rut - we might not want to travel so long or so far! 0r even so uncomfortably?

What empowers us to change?  Sometimes, our thoughts, our feelings, our actions? Oh - where to start?  Different situations, no right or wrong answers....

When chatting to to a valued connection Graham - my ears pricked up when talking about "ruts" and "habits" - he spoke of internal momentum for external change.

What rut do you want to say farewell too - choose your path carefully?  What internal thinking would move you forward, gain you some traction to get the external change that you desire?

Any thoughts - do feel free to get in touch if this resonates.
