1. A system for automatically controlling a work machine including a work implement, the system comprising:
a load sensor configured to detect load data indicative of a load applied to the work implement; and
a processor configured to acquire the load data; the processor being configured to
execute a load reduction control in order to cause the work machine to operate so as to reduce the load based on the load applied to the work implement during digging,
record, as a reference position, a position of the work machine when the load applied to the work implement during the digging becomes a predetermined threshold or greater,
determine a next starting position based on the reference position, and
control the work machine to start next digging from the next starting position.
