What Is Consciousness?

Have you ever stopped to think about how you’re thinking? That’s consciousness! It’s what lets you know you’re you. Consciousness is your mind being aware of your thoughts, your feelings, and the world around you. It’s like the voice in your head that helps you make choices, feel emotions, and even dream at night. Scientists are still trying to fully understand it, but some believe consciousness is what happens when your brain’s parts work together like a team. So whether you’re solving a math problem, petting your dog, or wondering what’s for dinner, your consciousness is always with you, helping you experience life.
