The truth 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.

“Be aware of your actions, but don’t let yourself do them. Be aware of your habits, but don’t let yourself do them. Be aware of your impulses, but don’t let yourself do them. Be aware that you create your own reality. Be aware that you create your own reality.
You could say that those are the key elements of the self-awareness we need to make the most of the self-awareness we already have. Being aware of our habits, our impulses, our impulses, and our impulses, is the first step toward being able to control them. However, to be able to control them, you also have to be able to know when to stop doing the habitual, irrational, or immoral thing. This is the third element of self-awareness.
One important difference between being aware of your impulses and knowing when it’s time to stop doing them is that the former means you can recognize that you are not doing a good enough job of controlling your impulses. The latter means that you can recognize that you are doing a good enough job of controlling your impulses. Which means you can recognize that you are being a good enough role model for your child or other potential client.
With this being the case (and being aware of the impulse to do something), you can make a decision and say, “Hey, I don’t want to do that anymore. I’m gonna do something else instead.
This is called the “automatic negative self-talk” pattern. In this pattern, you automatically react to your own behavior and think negatively about it. You think that you are lazy, incompetent, bad parent, or that you are a terrible person. You tell yourself, “I don’t want to be like that anymore. I’ll do better.
Because you know what you want to do.
When you realize you are unconsciously doing something, you can either stop doing it or you can do something else instead. When you say, “Im going to do something else instead,” it is not a yes or no statement. You can say, “I am going to do something else instead,” or you can say, “I dont want to do that anymore.
