Groove/Rut

Being ‘in a groove’ is comfortable, easy, and unsurprising.  It can also be useful, inspiring, and satisfying.  When we’re in a groove, it feels right, and things seem to go our way.  Problems get solved, and there is little conflict.

But at some point, it’s worth looking at that groove, and trying to decide if, in fact, it’s actually a rut.  Maybe that groove – or rather, rut – means that you’re no longer learning, no longer challenged. 

Perhaps it’s worth a shake up now and then, to shake us out of our rut, which we might have thought was a groove.
