Getting In (and Out) of Ruts

Do you ever find yourself getting in and out of ruts? This happens to a lot of people in a wide variety of things. For example:

- Going from eating poorly to eating well back to eating poorly.
- On and off diets.
- Going from not working out to working out and back.
- Studying responsibly to lounging and back.
- Being lazy, then working hard, then going back to being lazy.

There are many other examples of getting in (and out) of ruts but perhaps the most successful people we've met do the best job mitigating getting into these negative ruts.

Note: a small irony is that not having posted consistently since the robbery was a small rut in and of itself.
