209. How to Stop Living on Autopilot and Feel Like Yourself Again | Journal With Me
Have you caught yourself thinking, “Why does my life feel like it’s just happening to me?”
Like you’re doing all the right things, but you’re not really in it anymore?
Maybe you’ve been moving through your days on autopilot - showing up, performing, meeting expectations - without checking in with what you actually want.
Today, we slow everything down. Not to fix anything, but to notice what’s been running in the background of your life. You’ll get space to reflect on where you’ve been performing, why it feels safe, and what it might look like to come back to yourself in small, honest ways.
Journal with me using these prompts:
- Where have I been performing or living on autopilot this past year? (At work, at home, in my habits, in how I show up.)
- Why does staying on autopilot feel good or safe for me? What am I protecting myself from?
- What is this version of me actually costing me? What do I miss out on when I stay here?
- If I stopped performing for a moment, what’s one small thing I could do this week that feels more like me?
By the end of this episode, you’ll feel more grounded and self-aware—less pressure to keep performing, and more permission to reconnect with who you are underneath the autopilot.
