What Do You Really Want? Getting Out of Autopilot and the Prescribed Life — Alyson and Tripp Lanier
Do you know what you really want in life or are you just reacting to whatever comes your way?
Do you do things because they actually strengthen you or because some guy on a podcast said you should do them?
And how can we get out of autopilot to begin the process of forging our own path?
Today we dig into a question that scares a lot of people: What do you want? So many of us are firefighting, reacting, or quietly living a “prescribed life” and then wondering why we feel chronically trapped, drained, isolated, or out of alignment. Is there another way? Can we find and follow a different compass heading without blowing up everything we care about? Let’s find out.
In this conversation:
- “I don’t know what I want”
- A life of to-do lists and obligations
- Wanting to be proactive vs reactive
- What is a ‘prescribed life’?
- Feeling chronically drained or overwhelmed
Plus:
- Are you afraid of being ‘selfish’?
- What would be satisfying?
- When our lives are driven by FOMO
- Building the “what do I want” muscle
- How do you know if you’re on track?
