The fact 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.
Self-awareness is an important part of self-regulation. Self-awareness is really simply the ability to notice when we are acting on autopilot. Self-awareness is not about having a conversation with yourself when you’re not even aware of what you’re doing. Self-awareness is simply a sense that you know what you’re doing. It’s not a feeling that comes from a deep inner knowing that you’re doing a good thing.

The first step to self-awareness is to learn to listen to yourself. We should never be afraid to admit that we want something. We should never be afraid to admit to ourselves that we want something. And we should never be afraid to admit that we want something more than we want to be liked. Self-awareness is simply a way to be aware of our own desires. And if we’re not aware of our desires, we can’t be aware of our desires.
I love that the game uses the word “desire.” I like that when I think about it, I think of desire as something that wants something. It wants to control you, crave you, like you, want you. It wants to have your love. It wants to have your attention. It can be anything, really.
I would add that our desires are always conditional, contingent. We tend to be very self-aware of these things. We know that if we don’t want to have our attention (as in, whether we want to be with someone or not), we can’t be aware of that. But we’re also aware that if we want the attention of someone, we can’t be aware of that. So we don’t always want the attention we get.
To be clear, we do not want to be in the same situation as someone and not want to care about what they do or feel. We are here to help people and not to judge. And we are not just looking for help. No! We are looking for help.
I guess this is that time of the month when all of us think that this is the time of the month when everyone is going to be making a ton of changes in their lives. I don’t know. Maybe I should buy a time machine and go back.
Maybe you, or the person you are reading this on, are in a situation where you are overwhelmed. Or perhaps you feel you have no choice but to do things because of how you feel. To be clear, there is no right or wrong here, just a way you feel.
