Everyone experiences being in a rut and it's hard to break out of a rut alone. In this episode, Yvette and Ericka discuss the importance of building a support system to help you on your journey. They also share their insights on the benefits of accountability partners, mentors, and community support. It’s our hope that by listening you’d find something that could give you an idea to try or what we share resonates with you to let you know you are not alone. We all find ourselves in a rut sometimes. “What lies ahead of us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what lies within us. And when you bring what is within out into the world, miracles happen.” - Henry David Thoreau

Episode Notes

During this episode, Yvette and Ericka shared some of the things they do when they find themselves in a rut:

1. Self Check In: Have you been eating well? How have you been sleeping well? How do you feel?
2. Change Up Routine: If you go for daily walks, change the route. 
3. Give yourself something to look forward to: Schedule an extra date night. Ice cream treat
4. Re-Align: Finding your purpose...have you drifted from your purpose? If you journal, re-read some of your earlier entries to remind you why you do what you do and it's importance. If you have a vision board, look at it to help you remember.
