If you’re feeling stuck in a rut, try adding a bit of friction to your daily choices. It sounds counterintuitive, but change often needs discomfort to take root. And often those things that are the most rewarding about our day are the ones that were just a bit difficult.  Going for a walk instead of turning on Netflix. Picking up my sketchbook instead of my phone. Reaching for the lentils in the fridge instead of the leftover mac and cheese. Picking a book that makes your brain hurt, just a little. Simply saying “I’m sorry” rather than getting defensive. Making time to stretch instead of plopping on the couch. Refusing to settle for comfortable forces you to design your days, rather than simply drifting through them.
