Episode 115-Comfortable Ruts
To be comfortable is at the top of most every person’s list. I want a comfortable home, comfortable chair, comfortable clothes, comfortable meals, comfortable people to live with, comfortable climate and comfortable shoes.
What happens, then, is we fall into comfortable ruts. Ruts can be good or bad. They can simplify our lives or they can cause us to stay stuck in difficult situations. When we find what we think works for us we do it over and over again and before you know it, it has become a comfortable rut we don’t even have to think about.
On the flip side, ruts can become very uncomfortable and can begin before I comprehend I’m in one. One big one I fell into was eating comfort foods in order to stave off emotions I didn’t know how to handle.
To change, I had to see the rut for what it was—debilitating, controlling and deadly. I had to define what I wanted and what course of action would take me where I wanted to go. I had to ask for God’s help and be intentional about changing what had become a really bad habit.
This episode includes challenges to get headed in the right direction.
