"Are You Stuck in a Rut?"
By Megan McMorris

"Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Yawn. Is your life becoming more than just a little predictable?

Routines can start to get destructive when we don't see any other options and feel trapped," says Daphne Stevens, Ph.D., a psychologist in Macon, Georgia, and the author of "Watercolor Bedroom: Creating a Soulful Midlife." "That's when you increase your risk for depression, burn out or are just generally not having fun anymore. We all need a certain amount of mental stimulation to feel alive."
