How am I supposed to reply to you? Should I call you Blogging Ex? :) Also, you market yourself here on my blog by the quality of your comments, not by stuffing keywords into the name field. I would love to have you continue to comment here, but I need you to use your name in the comments name field, please. When you say "this is probably something you don't want to fall into", what do you mean by "this"? And what is your proof that I will lose subscriptions? I'd love to get a more thorough explanation on this. :) You know, there’s a reason why my comment policy states that branding or keywords are not to be used as names in comments.

When you say “this is probably something you don’t want to fall into”, what do you mean by “this”? And what is your proof that I will lose subscriptions? I’d love to get a more thorough explanation on this. :)

These can really hurt you and really lower your subscription base. I do not mind that other people have done this kind of post. Everyone's point of view is nice to have. this is probably something you don’t want to fall into. These can really hurt you and really lower your subscription base.

I am looking at just this very thing. I sometimes use beginner's mind to keep me out of the ruts. It's a playfulness in the studio. Keeps the exploration fresh. The continuity is there because, well, we are there, and we have intent. But the how of it can change to suit the why of it if we are willing to cast preconceived and usual away.

The rut exists in the mind, and it happens because people allow themselves to be lulled into it. It really is like a bad habit that has to be broken. A bit self-awareness and vigilance goes a long way. @Easton – Thanks! The rut exists in the mind, and it happens because people allow themselves to be lulled into it.

Then you can prevent or avoid them. Something I've thought about a lot lately is that there is so much still unsaid, unwritten, undone. There's no need for a rut. Most ruts happen when people cover the same ground over and over. It's the untouched paths that remain high and rut-free. Nice post Michael. A lot of it is planning ahead to see ruts coming.
