Bottle feeding a baby is a time-consuming and stressful task. You must monitor your milk production, your baby's feeding schedule, and other factors. Once you start weaning your toddler from the bottle, it can be equally as stressful—but for very different reasons! Some mothers feel bad about denying their toddlers something they adore so much, while others worry that if a bottle isn't around at all times, their children won't get enough food or liquids. What if, then, I could prove to you that things don't have to be this way? That there are actually ways to help you through the process? Be consistent While consistency is important for all aspects of parenting, it's especially important when weaning a toddler from bottle feeding. While your child may be ready to make the transition, she might not want to let go of her beloved bottle—and that's okay! Be patient and don't give up hope if it takes your child a few days or weeks to adjust. The easiest

6 Reasons Why You Are Stuck In A Rut

By -
There’s nothing worse than being stuck in a rut. Being stuck in rut feels different to everybody: you might be low on energy, irritable, lacking in motivation or simply yearning for change. In order to get out of a rut,you need to discover exactly why you got stuck in it in the first place. Below are some of the most common reasons why you may have become stuck in a rut.


1. You’re unhealthy

Living an unhealthy lifestyle can leave you feeling trapped by bad habits. Do you ever find yourself thinking, “tomorrow I’ll start my diet” or, “tomorrow I’ll wake up early to go for a run,” only to fall straight back into the same unhealthy routine? By making small, gradual changes, you can shake off that feeling of being stuck in an unhealthy rut. Rather than going cold turkey on junk food, try to cut down just a little each day. The same goes for exercise: start with something easy, like going for a walk or attending a yoga class.

2. You hate your job

Everybody feels a little fed up with their job from time to time, but if you wake up every morning absolutely dreading the thought of going to work, it might time to make a change. Being stuck in a professional rut can be particularly frustrating as you may feel trapped by financial pressures.In the end, not even a steady income is worth the stress of being in a job you hate.

3. You can’t find a satisfactory work/life balance

Even if you actually enjoy your job, trying to find a healthy work/life balance can be challenging. There are plenty of jobs available for people looking to gain a greater sense of control over their lifestyle. The perfect example of such a job is a telecommunications provider—essentially, a phone company. This field is growing in popularity amongst people wanting to start their own business. By partnering with a provider like Telcoinabox, entrepreneurs have the opportunity can gain access to a wide range of products, including Telstra Wholesale, Australia’s leading wholesaler of telecommunications services. This kind of career opportunity isn’t limited to telecommunications:many options are available across a wide range of industries for people looking to get out of a lifestyle rut.

4. You’re scared of change

One of the most common reasons people find themselves stuck in a rut is due to an irrational fear of change. Comfortable familiarity can quickly turn to boredom, and if your life has been following the same predictable path for a long time, you may begin to feel as though you’re stuck on autopilot. To conquer your fear, try breaking with routine and make an effort to try something new. Change is scary, but it can also be very liberating.

5. You’ve avoided travelling

Putting travel towards the bottom of your priorities list can contribute to the sensation of being stuck in a rut. Of course, there are many practical reasons not to travel: it costs money, you would need to take time off work and organising a trip can be difficult. All these reasons can never outweigh the feeling that comes from exploring a new part of the world.

6. You lack goals

Lacking a sense of purpose can make it seem as though you are going nowhere in life. To avoid feeling like this, try writing out your goals and ambitions. It doesn’t have to be a highly detailed five-year plan, but rather something to remind you of what you’re working towards. Without a clearly defined set of goals, how can you ever acknowledge your own successes and hard work?

Whether professional, emotional, health-related or a mixture of all three, being stuck in rut can have a seriously negative impact on your life. Now that you can identify some of the reasons you may be stuck in a rut, you can take the first steps to becoming unstuck.

    I was burned out in a high-paying job I hated. I resigned to keep my sanity and was glad I did.

    Yes, this is very true. Some people have never ever changed or progressed an inch because of these reasons. But one thing I know which any person couldn't get away from this situation is he lacks the ambition to grow, the will power to do it. What a pity...

    For some people, this was happening to them and can never find an answer. But being on a rut doesn't mean the end of the world. Let alone for some but not for me.

    I always say that we should have the courage to change things to get out of a rut or the humility to accept things that we can't change. You just have to choose which is more important for you.

    Health is very important and diet and exercise play a big part of your lifestyle. Goal-setting is a must for everyone to continue living a driven life, and there must be balance between work and play so you won't feel stuck.
