Voluntary and Involuntary Muscle

Last week my Science class finished a giant unit on muscles and the basics of the human body. Something that we learned about was voluntary and involuntary muscles. There are some muscles such as cardiac muscle that we don't even do consciously, it just comes, such as breathing.This got me thinking: am I just going through the motions unconsciously not even thinking about what I am doing? I was reading in Psalm 39 where one of the Psalmists state that "each mans life is but a breath." Honestly if I died right here and now, would I be able to say that every move I made I glorified Christ, or that I just sped through life?
I'm a really big fan of Disneyland, and every time my family and I visit Disneyland we always see someone looking for the Hidden Mickeys. To think that I spend my time riding rides when I see these people spending their time to really search with a goal in mind to find those Mickeys. Sometimes I can be like that too. Am I really just spending time riding rides, not even thinking about what I am doing, or am I striving to find Christ's beauty in everything and glorify Him in everything I do?
I really don't want to go through the motions anymore. I don't want to be an involuntary muscle and not think about what I am doing. Instead I am going to take time of my day everyday reading God's Word, praying and talking to my Heavenly Father, and living out my faith. Because there is so much more to life then living grey and boring, I want to be bright for my Savior.
