Why does time feel like it moves so much faster as you age? Maybe, when you’re young, the novelty of everything you experience being so new and fresh is what grounds us to the present, the here and now. Every day is an adventure. Every day we learn something new. When you grow and turn into an old fart, everything seemingly becomes less exciting.
Repetition sets in. Everyday feels the same. You went from life in the fast lane, high speeds, to slow and steady cruise control. It’s not the worst thing in the world, but the truth is, you’re living life on autopilot.
Living life on autopilot becomes dangerous when we go with the motion too much, with no resistance at all. It’s almost as if we lose consciousness of our experience being so wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
One day you snap out of it and realize: “HOLY SHIT, time is moving really fast and I’ve been doing the same damn thing every fucking day for the past 8 months. I haven’t paid attention to my health, my spirit, my mind, my needs and my dream.”
We’ve been conditioned to think less and do more.
Quote: Very often, human beings are living like on autopilot, reacting automatically with what happens. What interests me about the life of an explorer is you are in the unknown; you are out of your habits. – Bertrand Piccard
When we live on autopilot, it feels like someone else is driving, not us.
Signs You’re Living Life on Autopilot:
- Does every day seem like a blur to you?!
- Are you always busy and on-the-go?!
- Do you mindlessly scroll through social media?
- Are you dreading the monotony of every day life?!
How to STOP Living Life on Autopilot:
- Slow the F*CK down, relax and reflect.
- Bring meaning and intention to every day activities.
- Get out of your comfort zone!
- Challenge yourself, push it to the limit.
