Automatic-Pilot Mode

Automatic-pilot mode means exactly what it says: when strong feelings show up, you allow them to push you around as if you are a robot with no conscious will. In this mode, you become the “reactive partner.” You act out mindlessly or impulsively, with little awareness of what you’re doing. For example, if anger shows up, you allow it to jerk you around like a puppet on a string, you yell or lash out, you say hurtful things, or you storm out of the room and slam the door. Or if jealousy shows up, you may fly off the handle without any justification, start spying on your partner, or make unfair accusations. Or if fear shows up, you allow it to command your every move: you may hide away, avoid taking risks, or run away from your challenges.

When you go through life in this mode, you often end up doing things you regret. You have little or no self-awareness, and tend to take action without much care or deliberation. As a result, you often act inconsistently with your own core values.
