Beyond Awareness: Closing the Gap Between Knowing and Doing

65. How to Get Off Autopilot and Feel More Alive


Listen Later

I believe that we’re either intentionally coasting or intentionally living.

Brendon Burchard once said that he went through a depressive bout with suicidal thoughts and he came to the realization: “I didn't want to die, i just didn't know how to LIVE.”

Here are my 6 tips (and journal prompts) to getting off of autopilot so that you can feel ALIVE again.

1. What does autopilot mean to you?

2. Audit my routines, relationships, health, and environment: what’s working and what isn't? What would my ultimate life look like?

3. For the things that ARE working for you…bring meaning to the areas that matter: Connect your habits, routines & relationships to something you value or to your goals

4. Am I motivated by not making a change or by starting to make the change

5. Bring mindfulness to the specific actions/activities related to your source of motivation

6. Who do/can I surround myself with and are they aligned with who I want to become?
