What does it mean to live consciously?
This term is used to reflect the idea that we pay attention to our lives rather than live in an automatic, habitual manner. The process of living in a habitual manner leads to a dull, low energy state of being where the focus is on getting through the day, surviving the situation or waiting to get on to something better. The tendency is to zone out and to loose touch with our emotional needs, feelings and our dreams. Over extended periods of time this way of life may become debilitating, leading to a depressed mood, anxiety or substance abuse.
