Autopilot !!

Life on Autopilot? Living on an Autopilot?? "I woke up and soon it was evening? Where has the day gone , weeks gone or the year ? Sounds familiar??? Ever felt like you are driving and you have reached your destination without realising ? We get up, brush our teeth, get dressed and start our normal day. These activities are done on autopilot mode. We do not think about these monotonous activities , they become part of our normal life. This feeling slowly creeps over the other activities we do day in and day out. What day of the week is it? What date is it ? Already the first month of 2021 is coming to an end There are a lot of chores we do daily and they become a routine. Doing something interesting can break this chain, The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind, is curiosity- Edmund Burke Ask yourselves, What makes you smile, giggle, give you that dopamine ( feel good hormone) high? Watching an interesting documentary, show or reading a thriller excites me. What makes your day interesting? Reflecting on my day, at the end of the day makes me think about the day's events. Luckily my job involves talking and meeting different people everyday. Everyone has a story- sad, good, funny, nerve wrecking and exciting!! Learning about how different people live, cope and even struggle has always made me look at life in a different perspective. We need to step out of this autopilot mode "Peace of mind for five minutes, that's what I crave." —Alanis Morissette Doing one thing everyday that makes us smile, even for 5 minutes seems to be a good start. We should learn to increase those 5 minutes to 10 and get happiness from that one simple activity. When this activity gets monotonous, find another one and keep learning, finding, and keep it exciting. Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” —Marcus Aurelius Live in the here and now!!
