Frustrated with my constant autopilot

I was thinking about this yesterday as I walked in the woods. I estimated that I’ve become aware of going into auto-pilot over 100,000 times in my life. It takes a while to recondition the mind. I don’t know of any hacks. My mind was highly conditioned for autopilot and it’s perhaps the hardest habit I’ve ever tried to break. I’ve found with continual awareness arising, the gaps between autopilot get longer and longer. And catching autopilot becomes easier and less dramatic. Like noticing an ant crawling on one’s arm and gently brushing it off.

Very interesting, I figured there is no shortcuts, but just keep training and with time it will get easier. 

Thanks!

@PaulK Up to you. I supposed some people like that cowbell.
