"Automaticity is the ability to do things without thinking about what you are doing."

A thought by Craig Groeschel from his book, Winning the War in Your Mind (p. 105). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.  (Click on the book title to go to Amazon to buy the book.)

We do a lot of that.

Craig says, "Automaticity is the ability to do things without thinking about what you are doing. When repetition allows an action to become unconscious, automatic."

He goes on, "When you take a shower, you don’t wonder, What part of me should I wash first? How do I wash my hair? There are so many things to think about. No, you get in the shower and do everything you need to do without thinking. While one part of your brain is taking care of cleaning you up, another part is thinking about the day to come or the day you just had. Automaticity.

"But automaticity is also why you keep doing things you don’t want to do. Repetition has led to negative, harmful things becoming automatic."

He continues, "The goal of meditating on God’s Word and on our declarations is automaticity. We want to fall into the new trench, which will lead us into the right thoughts and actions. Automatically. An old quote states, 'Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.' The journey to your destiny starts with your thoughts. The right thoughts lead to the right life. Automatically."

He then says, "Zig Ziglar said, 'Repetition is the mother of learning and the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.'"

And meditating on God's Word is an automaticity that is a very good thing to do, isn't it?

Yes, yes!
