Your brain on auto pilot

Your brain’s autopilot is a real thing. And it matters what those autopilot thoughts are. Have you ever been driving somewhere and forgotten how you got there. You know you arrived and you know you left home, but all the red lights and details in between are just gone from your memory. Like you completely zoned out.

We have auto-pilot thoughts about ourselves. They matter. Listen in to find out why.
