Have you experienced times of emotional & mental neglect only to look up one day and realize you’ve been living on autopilot? When was the last time you woke up and actually felt awake? We live in a culture that glorifies busyness and multitasking, but at what cost? Living on autopilot may seem like an easy way to get through the day, but it's dangerous. When you're on autopilot, you're not fully present. You may miss important details or experiences that could enhance your life. You may even put yourself in danger without realizing it. 

Living on autopilot can lead to complacency, reduced creativity, and decreased productivity. It's easy to fall into a routine and lose touch with your passions and goals. You may end up feeling unfulfilled and unsatisfied with your life. But there's a way out of this cycle. By being more intentional about your daily activities and rituals. Take time to reflect on what you really want out of life. By breaking free from autopilot, you can reconnect with yourself and those around you. You can find joy and meaning in everyday experiences.

You can create a life that's truly fulfilling. Remember, life is meant to be lived, not just endured. Whether you have support or not, we’ve all been there. Join me as we turn off the autopilot setting & ‘release’ together.
