Are You Living… or Just Coasting Through Life?
Are You Living… or Just Coasting Through Life?
The other night, I pulled into my driveway and realized I’d spaced out the entire ride home—my mind full of thoughts about my daughters, my wife, and life’s challenges. I remembered everything except the actual drive. Sound familiar? You’re not alone—it’s called highway hypnosis, and it happens to everyone. Our amazing brains are designed to conserve energy, drifting toward big worries and daily routines. Sometimes this “auto-pilot” keeps us safe, but it can also make us miss out on living fully. Have you noticed yourself coasting through life’s most familiar moments?

Do you ever feel like you’re just getting by, stuck in a cycle of stress and burnout? You’re not alone. I have been there many times and have met hundreds of people who have been there too. Many professionals, especially in high-pressure roles, such as physicians and other healthcare workers, feel overwhelmed and disconnected from their own well-being, key relationships, and struggling in performance.
The Hidden Toll of Stress: Are You Sacrificing Your Life for Success?
The big question is: Have you become dangerously desensitized to the deadly unexplored stress levels you or your leaders operate under?
If so, your life is likely being diminished at such a slow pace that you won’t even notice it until it’s too late. Unexplored stress acts as a slow poison, affecting your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. And, it doesn’t just affect your work. It impacts your family, friends, hobbies, and even the quality of your later years. You can run your engine for quite a while with the check engine light on, but it doesn’t mean you are not harming the vehicle and shortening the life span and enjoyment of it.
