What are the real benefits of becoming more conscious in everyday life? Why would you care to enhance your consciousness? We have to admit: this is more of a spiritual than a scientific topic, which is why it’s susceptible to subjective interpretation. We define consciousness as achieving mastery over one’s mind. This short yet broad definition encompasses several aspects of human functioning: -Understanding the people around you and your physical environment; -Being aware and understanding your emotional, thought, and physical processes; -Making deliberate, intelligent, and careful decisions; -Maintaining a positive mindset regardless of the circumstances; -Keeping your focus and knowing what’s important in any given moment; -Having a rational and accurate idea of reality.
