Most people that I have noticed who are resilient have strictly kept going regardless of what they felt like during those hard times. Its something I have internalised as well because it makes sense.

The thing about a rut is that you can’t tell exactly how long it might last. In times like these the solution is either money or passing of time. In either cases you have to keep going.

Simply having a routine is useful as it distracts you from the problem but pushes your focus towards the solution. I have observed many people who have done this and I am doing it myself. From what I gather they aren’t necessarily successful but they are very hardened and have some really valuable experience to share.

If you want to get out of a rut or hard times I’d say soldier on! But with a routine in mind. Cheers!
