Conscience can designate the experience of being aware of what you live, but also the way you judge a choice from a moral point of view. In personal development, these meanings meet when you notice a reaction and choose how you want to act. The article proposes a practical reflection, without claiming to solve the philosophical questions about the mind.
Which sense of the word we are talking about
Having a strong reaction does not mean that reaction must be followed immediately. You can notice you are angry and postpone a message until you formulate more clearly what you want.
Separate observation from interpretation
Choose a recent situation. Write first what you saw or heard: "The person did not answer the message". Separately, note the interpretation: "They don't care about me". This separation does not cancel the emotion, but shows you what information you are missing.
Then ask yourself what value you want to keep. If it is honesty, you can formulate a question. If it is respect for your time, you can decide how long you will wait before continuing with your plan.
Responsibility without punishment
Moral conscience becomes useful when it helps you acknowledge a deed and repair what you can. Repeating general reproaches is not the same thing as repair. If you broke an agreement, identify the agreement, the effect and what you will do differently.
In your journal, complete: "What did I notice?", "What did I assume?", "What do I choose now?". You can use the same structure before a difficult conversation. Sometimes the choice is to ask for time, not to obtain an answer immediately.
Frequently asked question
Does being conscious mean no longer having unpleasant reactions? No. You can notice a reaction and choose the behavior that follows.
