Kedging through the Doldrums

[sleepingarby 71]

This is a nautical phrase. When ships sailed across equatorial waters the sometimes got caught in the region known as the Doldrums where there was little to no wind activity. Which in turn meant they were stuck in there with no wind in there sail. In order to get out they would " kedge" their way out. This might include putting the anchor into a smaller boat, rowing out a distance and then dropping anchor. The crew would then"pull" the boat toward the anchor and repeat the process until the could catch wind in their sail.....

My point?

How do you 'kedge' your way out of the 'doldrums'?

I could use some new ideas to get me out of this stagnant place and back on track. Just like literal kedging, I know it will be hard work for a time but I need to get the wind in my sail so I can make progress again.

Thanks in advance.

Love this phrase! I'm about to go kedge myself out of the doldrums in the basement -- treadmill, bike and BowFlex. Every one around me the last couple of days is in a bad mood -- husband has man-cold, kid is grumpy, mother constantly complaining......I feel like I take in other people's "stuff" and I need to walk it off. Fast walk my way back to myself and my own joy. Maybe we can kedge our way to full sail by reminding ourselves of what we really want. I really want to lose another chunk. I have to really really want it then nothing can stop me. I want to fit in that skirt. I want to be healthy and happy with my weight. Really, really.

Interesting phrase but why do you need kedging? Need more information?
