If you find yourself doing the same routine day after day, never remembering what you did the day before, having nothing to look forward to, living your life - but never really enjoying it, or being inspired by it, or anything in it...you’re probably living your life on autopilot.
The really devastating part about living life on autopilot, especially when it comes to your relationships, is that most of the time you’re not even aware that you're doing it. You're just living your life, wishing for more, but not really sure if there is more or how to get it. While many people live out their entire lives on autopilot, which is truly sad, the way to have truly rewarding and successful lives and relationships is to be totally aware and adaptable when it comes to your life.
Being aware of what’s going on in your life can be easier said than done, particularly if you’ve spent most of it on autopilot.
So, how can you become more aware of how your life is going and what’s happening in it? Here are three simple, yet effective, techniques for raising your awareness:
- Stop and smell the roses (literally). Take time to notice and appreciate all the little things that are around you. Be like a child and be inquisitive about your surroundings.
- Think about your short-term and long-term goals. Have you set any goals for yourself? If you have, do you still have or even remember them? Set yourself some goals, or re-write your previous goals, and start working on them.
- Remember
your relationships? When was the last time you did something new with a
friend or a partner? When was the last time you even wanted to? Start
thinking about your relationships and stop just 'being in them'.
Finally, it’s important to realise that if you are on autopilot there's a reason why.
Your life is out of balance. It's either too stressful, too
complicated, too boring or you’ve surrendered your life to a
'routine'.
Take one day this week and really think about your life, your relationships and what you want to achieve. How can you shake things up? Make things more interesting? How can you get back in balance and in love with your life again?
