Feeling Like You Are On Automatic Pilot?

Are you feeling like you are automatic pilot during the day?

You know a bit like the movie Groundhog Day? Maybe the following activity can help you as it interrupt the ‘automatic pilot’ by bringing you back to the present moment.

• S – stop and interrupt your ‘automatic pilot’ by concentrating on the present moment
• T – take a breath and bring your experience of the in-breath and the out-breath
• O – open to observation. Connect to the experience of this moment and inquire with a sense of curiosity

• • • What am I seeing?
    • What am I feeling?
    • What am I sensing?
    • What am I hearing?
    • What am I smelling?
    • What am I thinking?

• P – proceed and reconnect with your surroundings and with your activity in the moment.

Please note – this process is one of the things we refer to in the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course and has been adapted from a handout from the Centre for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts.
