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.
The problem is that we can’t think about our habits, routines, impulses, and reactions when we’re off-autopilot. Because when we’re not even aware of our own habits, routines, impulses, and reactions, we no longer control them.
Now that you’ve thought about it, it is indeed true that we can’t even do this with some people as we’re on autopilot all the time. It’s like we live in a cave under the sea. We can’t even swim on autopilot. Even if we did we might drown, because as soon as we did that we would lose control of everything.
This is why we must be more aware. We must be aware enough to control our own habits, routines, impulses, and reactions while we are on autopilot. Or else we will be the ones to lose control of everything.
A new study of one billion pages conducted by the same group of people who study our brains and our behavior found that people who pay attention to what they are doing and how they are doing it are much more successful at achieving things, and that this attention is correlated with increased levels of self-awareness.
Paying attention to how we are doing what we are doing is great, but not enough. We must be in the habit of paying attention to how we are doing the things we are doing too, and then doing it. That means remembering that we are doing it, and then taking deliberate action to improve and make it better.
In another study done in 2005, it was found that martial artists have a stronger sense of self-awareness than non-martial artists. This study also found that people with higher levels of self-awareness are more likely to take more deliberate action to improve their self-awareness and be more successful in their careers. It also seems that having a higher level of self-awareness is correlated with being a more effective leader.
According to the study, the more self-aware you are the more you are likely to take more deliberate action to improve your self-awareness. It might be that we are able to improve our self-awareness because we are able to recognize our behaviors and take more deliberate action to improve our self-awareness. Maybe this is why you find yourself in a time loop, in a constant state of self-awareness, always trying to improve your self-awareness.
