Nice article from Zen Habits! I like that it recommends living life consciously and has some very practical ways to do that. The heart of the matter lies in this quote:

How to Live Life Consciously

… it is deceptively simple: Be conscious, and think about, everything you do. Make conscious choices rather than doing things without thinking. That’s all.

Much of counseling is directed toward “making the unconscious conscious.” A lot of my work with anger counseling is directed toward the question: “Angry about what?” The answer leads to making the source of emotion conscious. The response to the answer turns reactions into “conscious choices” as described in the article.
