Conscious Consciousness Quotes

“The only difference between self-awareness and self-consciousness
is the judgement.”
― Shellen Lubin

“When people ask 'how do I know if I'm being too easy or hard
on myself?' or
'how hard should I be on myself?'
I answer,
'hard enough to motivate you to do something,
and not so hard that it makes you want to
bury your head in your pillow
and give up.'

So now I add, to the question
'how much should the director in the back of my head
be side-coaching what I'm saying and doing?':
enough to make you self-aware (and aware of others,
and receptive and responsive to them)
and not so much as to make you self-conscious.

No judgement.”
― Shellen Lubin
