Is Your Brain Working On Auto Pilot? (If So It Is Time For A Change!) By Theodore Henderson The Wisdom Man The mind is the most remarkable element of our bodies because so much of who and what we are is managed there. Like any other function, thinking can become a habit and a pattern of behavior. If you are conducting the critical aspects of your life on auto-pilot and not experiencing the success you feel you should be then it is time to alter your thinking! You will absolutely obtain even more from life when you take such an approach, of thinking through the results you want, and not leave too many important life issues to auto pilot. It will improve your relationships, your attitude, your work environment, and even how you really feel regarding yourself. This shift in mindset was my greatest benefit from receiving quality coaching and what I always strive to give to my coaching clients It can be tough to actually assess your thinking approach when you are on auto pilot. You must attempt to do so objectively though so you can see things in a brand-new light. Consider something you do in the house or another function all the time. Ask yourself why you do it in this way. If the answer is “because that is how I have always done it”, you typically aren't truly thinking about it, since you have determined the situation. Instead, put some real thought into the process. Simply put, are there better ways that it can be done? Relationships can be tricky as well as challenging. If you find some of yours to be overly and unnecessarily stressful sometimes, you need to alter your mindset. What is it concerning the relationship that does not flow well? Do you have the same conversation over and over with your spouse, child, or another person in you life? Is the outcome constantly the very same no matter what? If so, then it could be as a result of the fact that one of you, or both of you, is on autopilot when it involves your thinking. An excellent way to alter the situation is to ask the other person just what is on their mind. Once they tell you, ask them why they feel this way about it. When you reply to them, ask yourself the very same thing. What is it that is stimulating such a response? Is that the pattern of behavior that you always opt for? If so, how about trying something new since undoubtedly what you are doing currently, and what you have done in the past isn’t producing in the way you would have hoped for.
