By This is the second and third in a series of posts highlighting the “3 levels of awareness” concept. This concept came up in a conversation with a friend of mine. This post focuses on the mental awareness element. He said, “I just realized I’m usually ‘on autopilot’ because I don’t realize how much I am doing.
I’m on autopilot right now. I’m a zombie, zombie, zombie zombie zombie.
We’re all on autopilot. Our bodies and minds are constantly engaged in one of life’s constant activities, which is to do. We’re all on autopilot in one way or another. Of course, that doesn’t mean that we don’t have control over our behavior. We can choose to be aware. Being aware is not to be lazy or lazy in the least. It’s to be aware of the fact that we are on autopilot.
Autopilot is a condition in which a person is not aware of what is going on around them. It is when we are unaware that we are in a situation where autopilot is the default setting. We can only choose to not be on autopilot. It can be frustrating and stressful to constantly be aware that we are not on autopilot.
Being aware is difficult. Just ask any teenager. But once we become aware, we can choose to be on autopilot. The first step to being aware is to stop thinking about ourselves in isolation and begin to think about being part of a group. The second step is to begin to think about other people. We always run into the problem of “I’m self-aware, she’s not”.
I think this is a good step for any of us to take. It’s like saying “Hey, it’s time to stop thinking about how you’re not in a group, and start thinking about how you’re in a group.” The next step is to really let go of our identity as “I” and begin to become self-aware.
But you might not be aware of the steps you take. For example, sometimes I don’t really think about how I have my own identity. There’s a lot of “I” in this sentence, “I” which is not “me” because the word “I” is a verb.
You might think that a self-aware person would know that you have a group identity, but this is not the case. A self-aware person might know that you have a group identity, but that you are not an individual. The word I which is the same as I which is the same as I which is the same as the same as I is a noun. It is used as a verb because that is how we use the word I in English.
When we use verbs in English we usually say that you have a group identity (or you are an individual) but the word I is used to show that you are an individual. A self-aware person might know that you are an individual, but that you have a group identity.
An individual might recognize that she is an individual, but that she belongs to a group. An individual might recognize that she has a group identity, but that she is not an individual.
