Is living life on auto-pilot making you happy?

So we all like things that are familiar, our homes, our family, our comfy beds, favorite foods and yes our jobs. WAIT! Did I just say that we like our jobs because they are familiar? Yep! We may "hate" our jobs but deep down inside we "like" that our job is there, the paycheck is steady and our bosses & co-workers are tolerable....if you are so lucky. Right? Well if your dissatisfied with this "lifestyle" and can't figure out why.....keep reading.
Living Life In The Sleep Lane
Many of us are mad at the world and less than happy because we are not even awake. We don't say hi or acknowledge our neighbors and we walk around the halls of our jobs saying "hi" or "good morning how are you doing today" to our co-workers only to see them five minutes later and say the "hi" and "good morning" script all over again like we are robots. I know you have done this. I sure have so much that I had to chuckle at myself and go grab a cup of coffee. As funny as it is this state of mind turns into how we live our lives day in and day out. We run on the 9-5 treadmill, squeeze in a minute here and there for our friends and family and we leave nothing for ourselves. How are we suppose to get "unstuck" if we are walking around ignoring our own thoughts, feelings & desires? We will never get there.....UNLESS...we wake up and become fully present in what we are doing, thinking and saying. Only then will we begin to take active steps toward living the life we truly desire. This is a charmed life where we love our jobs, make great money and use all of the talents & skills that we posses. Your worth it.
Stop.
Take a deep breath!
And spend some time alone dreaming without limitations. It's fun & free.
