The fact is that the majority of our thoughts and actions are on autopilot. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing either. Our habits, routines, impulses, and reactions carry us through our lives so we don’t have to stop and think about it every time we wipe our ass or start a car.
The problem is when wevego on autopilot for so long that we forget we are on autopilot. Because when were not even aware of our own habits, routines, impulses, and reactions, then we no longer control them they control us. Whereas a person with self-awareness is able to exercise a little meta-cognition and say, “Hmm… every time my sister comes around asking for money, I end up drinking a lot of vodkas.
Yeah, it’s the same thing I’ve been telling other people for years because I’ve been in too many online arguments with people who have no idea what’s going on and have had to explain the whole situation to them. They are like, “Oh, I know that you were on autopilot yesterday, but I totally forgot about that.
The fact is that people just don’t realize that they are autopilot. They assume that they are in control of their own lives and it just so happens that you can’t really deny this because you’re not really in control of your life. The only way to control a situation is to understand it and then take over, but because we live our lives without knowing what is really going on, we feel a bit of a sense of powerlessness.
In some ways, yes, we are autopilot, but the truth is that we are not in control of anything, and we can’t really control what happens next. In short, we are “autopilot.” Autopilot is just a fancy term for “sitting on our asses.
As it turns out, we are not in control of our lives. Although we can stop our lives, our minds, and our bodies from going to shit, we are not in control of what happens next. We are just in a state of being autopilot, and the only way to be in control of our life is to get good at controlling our autopilot.
So we have to learn to be aware of our own personal autopilot. And the first step in discovering this is to realize that our autopilot is always in control of us. We can stop it, but we cant stop the autopilot.
The human autopilot is the control center of our lives. So when we feel like we are not in control of our lives, the feeling usually comes from some sort of mental block. But the human autopilot is really just an extension of our brains. It’s our brains that think, “Oh, here we go again.” But the autopilot is really just the brains’ way of saying, “I’m sorry.
When we have a mental block, we tend to blame it on something we’re having a hard time controlling, or something we’re having a hard time accepting. Usually its someone we’ve loved, or some other traumatic event we can’t seem to get past. This is why these problems can be so hard to deal with, because they are so embedded in our minds. But because we are so self-aware, we can get past these blockages.
The problem here is that when we don’t even know what is happening, we can’t really get to the root of what happened. So while we can get past these blockages, we also have to figure out if it was an error and we have to take it back.
