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?
