Life in Default Mode

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

Life in Default Mode

There is a myth floating around that life is more fun when you are spontaneous. That’s true, but not all the time.


Happiness and success are most common among folks who live in a Default Mode. 

In other words, they figure out what works for them and keep doing it.

Living in Default Mode makes life predictable for you and everybody around you. It limits decision-making and establishes continuity. It’s a behavior that reduces stress and improves happiness.

Living your life in Default Mode is the fastest way to reaching your goals - your way.
