Summary

Life is precious and over the last couple of years, I think we all have had some level of a wake-up call. This being the case, it's important that we take full advantage of how this makes our minds feel and respond on those deeper levels.  Our minds are just so habitual, even if we think they aren’t and that we are super spontaneous. On a deeper level that isn’t the case, especially for our unconscious minds and the thousands of automatic habits and responses, we have every day. Changing from learned and conditioned habits takes time and we have to firstly remove the conditioned responses and then start developing the new habits. Have you ever done this while driving; you end up going down a familiar route instead of where you have planned to go? Or find yourself doing things in the house that you don't need to do but it's something you normally always do? This is the pleasure of having all of the amazing, unconscious, automatic, processes of our mind, that remembers what it thinks we should be doing and just gets on doing these things, without us having to make any conscious decisions in choosing to do these things.
