Run N' Gunn

It’s very easy to drift into autopilot throughout the day. Putting on blinders and just focusing on what’s up next on your daily routine. I notice sometimes being on autopilot when I’m sitting in traffic, walking into starbucks grabbing my coffee, on the phone, lifting, sitting in class, watching TV, reading, etc etc. Basically all…
