You Choose Your Approach All the Time
You’re the only one in your head, heart, and soul.
Certain things are true for everyone. Every single person on Planet Earth, in one form or another, wakes up, has a day, goes to sleep, and repeats the next day. Yes, some people sleep for only short spans while others get hours. Some people’s “day” is other people’s “night.” Yet everybody has a time when they are awake, not asleep, and moving through their life.
This is where variations begin. Some people live almost completely by rote, routine, and habit. They get up, go through the day to a greater or lesser degree like a zombie, go through the motions, then go back to sleep. Some people live partially by rote, routine, and habit. They have moments during a given wake cycle where they’re consciously aware for a time, but otherwise go through the motions, then go back to sleep.
Every single cycle, you choose anew what that will look like. Every “day” cycle, you decide how much subconscious rote, routine, and habit drives you.
There are times when living subconsciously is utterly helpful. Also, some habits are habits because if you needed to give them conscious attention, you’d waste a lot of time, energy, and potential.
