Stop living on autopilot from "summary" of Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life by Steven Hayes,Spencer Smith
Living on autopilot means going through the motions of life without truly engaging with the present moment. It's like being on a never-ending treadmill, where you are constantly moving but not really getting anywhere. Instead of fully experiencing each moment as it comes, you are simply going through the motions without much thought or intention.
When you live on autopilot, you are not fully present in your own life. You may find yourself going through the same routines day in and day out, without stopping to question whether they are truly serving you. You may be caught up in worries about the past or anxieties about the future, instead of focusing on what is happening right now.
Living on autopilot can lead to a sense of disconnection from yourself and the world around you. You may feel like you are just a passive observer in your own life, rather than an active participant. This can lead to feelings of emptiness, dissatisfaction, and a lack of fulfillment.
To break free from living on autopilot, you need to start paying attention to the present moment. This means being fully engaged with whatever you are doing, whether it's something as simple as washing the dishes or having a conversation with a friend. By bringing your awareness to the present moment, you can start to break free from the cycle of mindless living.
Mindfulness is a powerful tool for breaking free from autopilot. By practicing mindfulness, you can train your mind to focus on the present moment and let go of distractions. This can help you to become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and sensations, and to respond to them in a more intentional and skillful way.
By stopping living on autopilot and starting to engage with the present moment, you can begin to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. You can start to make choices that align with your values and goals, rather than simply going through the motions. This can lead to greater happiness, satisfaction, and a sense of connection with yourself and the world around you.
