Reply to comment by woahdudde in LPT Your body is on autopilot a lot more than you realize. Everyone's autopilot is an idiot. Life's easier and you screw up less when you realize this, and think intentionally and take actions accordingly so the autopilot can't screw things up. by 12jonboy12

Also Mel Robbins's book: The Five Second Rule

Also blink by Malcolm Gladwell but it's basically saying that autopilot is better than active thought especially when well trained.

Oh that's a great counterpoint. Good habits are supposed to be & should be automatic or autopilot reinforced whereas Bad habits and negative thinking need to be broken out of through methods like the five second rule or prayer & fasting or whatever other tools you have. Thanks for that addition; that brings it full circle!
