The Mind on Autopilot

What if many of the decisions you believe you consciously choose are already being influenced before you even realize it?Every day, you repeat behaviors, react to emotions, postpone decisions, pick up your phone without thinking, follow impulses, and return to habits you promised to abandon.And then the question arises:"Why do I keep doing this if I know I should act differently?"The answer may lie in the automatic patterns your mind builds over time.In The Mind in Automatic Mode, Luciana Priscila presents an accessible journey through human behavior to show how habits, emotions, environment, immediate rewards, familiarity, and social influence can silently participate in your choices.More than understanding why the automatic happens, you will learn practical strategies to begin interrupting it.Throughout this book, you will discover how to:• recognize triggers that activate behaviors without you realizing it;• Understand why certain choices keep repeating themselves even when you want to change;• Identify how emotions can alter decisions;• Reduce the power of immediate rewards over important goals;• Recognize when the environment, social networks, and other people are influencing your choices;• Separate facts from interpretations created by the mind;• Create space between impulse and action;• Replace old patterns with more conscious responses;The Mind in Automatic Mode can help you see what previously went unnoticed.Stop. Observe. Question. Choose.Automatic doesn't have to be the destiny.Take back the wheel of your mind and start choosing more consciously.
