How To Stop Living On Autopilot
It’s easy to live on autopilot and go along with the cultural conditioning of our Old Happy world:
Keep pushing harder and harder.
Keep striving towards an ever-eternal future destination.
Keep denying your unique gifts.
Keep ignoring our interconnectedness.
But at any moment, we can pause and take a step back, getting curious about how we want to live instead. And then start. Right here — in this moment, with one different choice.
Here are a few favorite questions to help you show up for your life in a more authentic, more joyful way. Choose one, and give yourself a moment or two to see what answers come up within you.
What is happening in this present moment that I can embrace?
What does my true self yearn to do?
What inside me needs to be expressed?
When in my life have I felt the most joy?
When and where have I lost a part of my true self? What’s one step I can take to reclaim it?
What do I need to support myself?
What am I feeling right now?
What experiences have made me feel connected to the world and humanity? How can I have more of those?
Who needs me?
How can I help others?
What one action would make me feel like I am living with presence today?
Living with presence is, ultimately, about creating a life that feels like you: a life that brings you the joy you deserve, a life that enriches our collective world.
