Problem:
Stagnant. That is how I would describe the past month.
For the past 5ish years I have moved, packed up, changed schedules or jobs every 3-4 months. Presently, this is not the case for me and I am trying my best to be okay with growing in a different way. I have viewed this pattern of change as how I grow spiritually, mentally, physically etc. But now I am in one place. I have one job. I have one home. I have one circle of friends. It is pushing me to step outside my bounds voluntarily rather than by force of circumstance.
Routine:
I am falling into a routine of work until 5, running errands if needs be, going to the gym (climbing), coming home and cleaning up, and going to bed.This is so boring compared to what I was doing before! But I know this is what I need to be doing.
Question:
I always try to look at any given situation I am put in and ask the question: What am I supposed to be learning from this? And even though my job is repetitive, I am still learning and I am still growing. I would just say it is not as extreme as it was before.
Answer:
If you find yourself in this situation or you have been stuck longer than I have, I would challenge you to ask yourself the question from above. It motivates me, helps me find meaning, in even the smallest ways, and has me actively searching for the hand of the Lord in my life when I feel like He is slipping away.
Duh:
So basically you are only stagnant if you tell yourself you are. My best bet is that this is a simple fix you can make in every moment by just looking for the good. Find the fun in all the funk!
