Are you feeling stuck in a loop like the movie “Groundhog Day”...like you’re living the same day over and over and over again?
If you feel like you’re not exactly in charge of your own life, you’re not alone.
All over the world people are feeling disengaged at work and in their own lives. According to a Gallup report, 2024 saw a decline of employee engagement for the first time in 4 years.
People are feeling like all they’re doing day in and day out is just taking care of what’s essential, what’s right in front of them, and they’re not really going anywhere in life.
Well, what if you could change that for yourself?
What if you could grab control like grabbing the steering wheel of life and begin directing it to a place where you feel a little more alive?
It is possible, you know.
Even Bill Murray’s bull headed, mouthy, jerk of a character in the groundhog movie did it.
Ok, I know. That’s a movie, not real life right?
Not exactly.
I’m going to show you how it can happen in real life, in your life like it did in mine.
Would you like to know how to stop living life on autopilot and start creating your dream reality?
Let’s get to it!
Living on Autopilot
Where did the idea of the life you have right now come from anyway?
Was it an idea your parents had?
Maybe it was something you picked up from teachers, books you read, and movies you watched.
Or just something picked up from society in general.
You know. The idea that you just need to go to school, get a degree, get a j-o-b, work to the bone until you’re old enough to “retire” and then you can start to actually live life.
No wonder you feel like you’re spinning your wheels and getting nowhere. That doesn’t sound very inspiring, does it?
I feel ya. That’s the life I was living.
Graduating from college was very important in my family, so I went to school and ended up with a degree in Theatre Arts. It was what I was interested in but not a very lucrative choice.
The career I fell into after that was moneymaking though.
Finding my way into sales from my initial temp job was quite lucky, although it did take some work on my part.
But I did it and life was grand…
…until I couldn’t take it anymore.
I swear, if I had to go to another widget making facility again I was just going to explode!
Know what I mean?
Ready to Grab the Wheel
Once you feel that way there’s no turning back. It’s all you think about, day in and day out.
You start exploring other ways to live.
Maybe it’s a new j-o-b. Or a new network of friends doing something different in life. Maybe it’s just researching how to become a new you.
You see people on YouTube doing it so you wonder…
…why can’t this be me?!
Whatever you’re looking for, at least you’ve begun to see life differently.
You’re after a change, a new path.
One that will make you feel like you’re living again…
…not just going through the motions.
You’re ready to take the wheel and start steering life on your own, not allowing others to do it for you anymore.
Ready to reset your life and start creating a life you love.
Still wondering if you’re ready or not? Here are 5 signs that might help you determine that a little better.
So what do you do after you know you are ready?
Write Your Next Chapter
Now you need to get clear.
GPS only knows how to direct you toward a specific address, right?
Well it’s that way with life too.
If you don’t tell your life where it is you want to go, it will take over…
…aimlessly driving on autopilot and round and round in circles it goes.
So what you need to do is figure out what you want.
What you really, specifically want.

There are countless books, courses and gurus out there explaining how to manifest your best life.
And I’ve personally done a lot of it myself after completely turning over my own life by quitting my career, selling my house and going to live on a boat.
From my crazy experience, the one most important thing I can share with you is…
Be Specific!
Remember, you get what you ask for so make sure you’re asking for what you really want.
See, I wanted a freedom lifestyle.
Freedom from debt, freedom from a boss and freedom from all the roadblocks my subconscious would throw my way.
While I did wind up with that, it was sometimes a grueling process.
Take living on a boat for one.
And then sailing it down the East Coast of the US without ever being on a passage before.
I knew I loved to sail but it was only day sailing.
I never went from point A to point B until the whole excursion began and boy was it a terrifying learning experience!
So be careful.
Make sure you’re not just chasing a vibe, you actually have a detailed vision of what you’d like in your life.
That’s your first step in living life on your own terms.
And don’t feel like you have to go after the BIG DREAM right away.
Focus on your next chapter only. That’s a lot easier.
Write it down.
Like you’re writing the next chapter of your life.
When you start to see your future clearly, your mindset shifts, your beliefs align and your actions start to follow.
That’s when the momentum starts to kick in and you find yourself driving down the road of your choice, going in the direction of your dreams.
Watch Out for Roadblocks
Now once you’ve started down the road of manifesting your dream life, sometimes your thoughts can start to get in your way.
So pay close attention. Watch out for those roadblocks that are called limiting beliefs.
Though they come about to keep you safe in your comfort zone, they can still stop you in your tracks.
Be aware of sneaky little whispers in your ears like “you can’t do that”, “that’s not realistic”, or “people like you don’t do that”.
Call them out and shift them.
Let’s try a little exercise…
Take a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle creating two columns.
One one side you’ll write down that negative belief and on the other you’ll replace it with something positive.
It’ll look something like this:
| “I have to follow the traditional path to be successful.” | → “I get to design my dream life and define success on my own terms.” |
| “I don’t know where to start.” | → “Clarity comes with action. I’ll start by visualizing what I want.” |
| “It’s too late to change.” | → “I can hit reset anytime. My timeline is mine.” |
| “I’m not good enough / smart enough / lucky enough.” | → “I am already enough. I just need to be the version of me that believes it.” |
| “I have to play it safe.” | → “Staying stuck is not an option. I choose freedom over fear.” |
Do you see how different those columns are? How different they feel?
One will keep you spinning your wheels and the other will get you taking action, no matter how small that action might be.
Remember you didn’t come here to live someone else’s life on repeat.
You came here to create your own path, feel lit up from the inside out, and take control of your own dreams.
Start Your NEW Repeat
Now that you know what it is you want, you have it written down and you can actually see and feel it.
Plus you have a way to rewrite the negative beliefs that could sneak up and bite you in the you-know-what, slowing or even stopping your progress.
Now it’s time to repeat this vision daily so it becomes your new repeat and helps you gain momentum.
That’s where practicing visualization comes in.
Wait…what’s this?
Some silly mind trick? Like meditating?
Well I can tell you, it’s not a trick.
Do you know what most successful entrepreneurs or athletes do?
You got it, they visualize themselves achieving.
Why?
Because studies in neuroscience have shown imagining a successful outcome can strengthen neural pathways related to that scenario, leading to a surge in motivation and higher likelihood of real success.
I can also tell you it’s worked for me, time and time again.
But not when I forget to do it daily.
Have no idea how to do this?
Have no fear!
Just sign up below and I’ll send you a link to a powerful visualization exercise made by one of my mentors - whose tools and courses have helped me change my life!
It’s a really fun way to use your vision's GPS signal and steer your life in the direction you want it to go…
…not everyone else.
You don’t have to completely overhaul your whole life like I did.
But you do need to take one intentional step daily — and this is it.
