Then it occurs to me, what if there were an auto-pilot for my well-being?

My Autonomous Self

Dozens of decisions daily that are taxing and energetically draining. A gauntlet of experience, each decision encounter having the power to knock me off balance.

Five minutes of fun with the airplane controls and I turn on auto-pilot, freeing my mind to tend to other important flight tasks. The airplane immediately sits up straight with perfect posture for its new master of unrivaled precision and speed.

Lost in this play, my mind drifts to my on-ground performance: hard at work making micro-corrections for my well-being. Slightly less food here, a more nutritious menu option there, and squeezing in a good night's sleep whenever possible.

My eyes were fixed on the airplane's attitude indicator. Flying steady at 9,500 feet, both hands gripped the controls. Seeing a bit of direction drift, I corrected ever so slightly left, now down, a tiny bit right…a never-ending game to keep the airplane in optimal position.
