You cannot heal what you do not listen to. Your body is the diary where your soul writes.
When You Feel Like You're Living on Autopilot and Don’t Know How to Return
An intimate guide to step out of autopilot and gently return to yourself, without pressure.
You are not lost. You’ve just been so busy surviving that you forgot you are allowed to live.
If you made it here, something inside you is probably hard to explain.
You’re not entirely sad.
But you’re not okay either.
You wake up, perform, respond, continue.
The day moves forward.
Night arrives.
And yet something inside you feels distant.
As if only your body is present.
Have you ever arrived home without remembering the way?
You leave, move, do what’s required… and suddenly you’re back.
You don’t remember the details.
You don’t remember the journey.
Your body arrived.
But you… where were you?
Maybe replaying something that hurt.
Maybe imagining conversations.
Maybe simply absent.
Living on autopilot isn’t visible outside.
It’s felt within.
It’s not laziness. It’s survival.
Your brain learned to protect you by switching off what felt overwhelming.
Repetition became routine.
Sensitivity became silence.
Autopilot isn’t the problem.
The problem is staying there forever.
You are not failing. You are adapting to a world not designed for sensitive souls.
What gets lost when you’re not present
It’s not just time that fades.
It’s the feeling of belonging to your own life.
Decisions are made from exhaustion.
Relationships are lived halfway.
Intuition grows quiet.
Returning isn’t changing your life
Returning is inhabiting it.
Feeling your body.
Breathing slowly.
Being here, even for a second.
That second matters.
That second is you.
You don’t need to fix yourself.
You need to remember yourself.
It is worth being here.
It is worth being me.

You don’t have to choose now. Only when you feel ready.
