When we notice we’re on autopilot, to me, it’s an opportunity to appreciate that we’ve noticed our default ways of surviving unpleasant circumstances.
If you’ve found yourself on autopilot today, you’re not alone. I also found myself on autopilot today.
So many of us are expanding our awareness and noticing more and more parts of ourselves that need support, compassion and understanding, instead of shame.
So many of us are making associations that connect our current autopilot reactions with the reactions we had to unpleasant things that happened in the past.
To me, our awareness invites healing and healing invites growth. And growth is what’s necessary for us to experience new things in our lives that bring us more joy and more meaningful connections.
