Consciousness is a term that refers to the relationship between the mind and the world with which it interacts. [1] It has been defined as: subjectivity, awareness, the ability to experience or to feel, wakefulness, having a sense of selfhood, and the executive control system of the mind.
How conscious are you most of the time? Now, I don't just mean to be living, but being conscious, being aware. For instance, I read an exsample in a book about washing dishes. (bare w/ me) You ever wash dishes, and you zip right through it. Takes hardly no thought, right? But what if you were mindful. Really washing the dish, enjoying the fact that you can wash the dish. Alot of people can't for may reason. Some may be handicap, can afford dishes, or don't have running water.(whatever) Look at how consciousness can change perspetive. So, how much of life is live thoughtlessly, which in return causes us not to enjoy life? For me alot. What about you? Being more thoughtful, in tune with life, will change you life.
