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 we’re on autopilot for so long that we forget we’re on autopilot. Because when we’re 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 just hits the bottle and doesn’t look back.
A person with self-awareness doesnt think about themself all the time, so they can hit the bottle, and they can look back.
The problem is when we dont even realize we are on autopilot for so long that we forget we are on autopilot. Because when we dont even realize we are on autopilot for so long that we forget we are on autopilot, then we no longer control them we control ourselves. A person without self-awareness doesnt take the time to think about themselves all the time, so they dont take the time to hit the bottle.
The problem with not realizing our own habits, routines, impulses, and reactions is that then we lose control. We stop taking actions that are in our own best interest, and we just continue to do things.
I’m not trying to make this sound negative, but in the past when I’ve been on autopilot for a while, I have not been able to control myself when it comes to my drinking habits. When I realized I was on autopilot for a while, I started to hit the bottle again.
If you’ve ever hit the bottle, you know it is hard to stop, and that it takes a lot of willpower to stop. If you’re not used to it, it can be tough to stop, especially if you’re a habitual drinker. But the good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. When we are on autopilot, we really don’t realize we’re autopilot.
Drinking autopilot? Well, it turns out that you can be just as drunk, if not more so, than you are when autopilot is on. There are a lot of ways that you can tap into your alcohol and blood pressure cravings. For instance, when youre driving, try not to get the windows down, or if youre working, try not to get too distracted by your phone. If youre having trouble with that, try switching up your work/travel routine.
The most common way to get into autopilot is to stop and think, but it’s not possible to actually think about it. You can even stop thinking about it in a moment of time, but it’s not a good idea to spend the next few minutes thinking about it in a vacuum. If you’re at the beach, it’s not a good idea to think about it in a moment, but it’s not a good idea to think about it much, if you’re at the beach.
The best way to make sure youre still in autopilot is to think about something in a vacuum. You can do this by doing something or not doing something. The best example I can think of is when I was a student. I’d go to a class, but I’d also go play video games. During class, I always ended up thinking about my video games. The next day I’d go play the video games to see how I felt. And so on.
