Consciousness is defined...............and I can prove it in my life by/when

Consciousness is defined as the personal awareness of mental activities, internal sensations and the external environment. William James, an American psychologist saw consciousness as a "stream" or "river" because even though consciousness is always changing it is unified and unbroken just like a stream. Consciousness is personal and subjective. I can prove that consciousness is in my life through school. I sit in class listening to the teacher focused on the words he/she are saying and writing notes down throughout the hour or hour an half. I take the bus home and even then my consciousness is awake focusing and staying aware looking for the bus I take and when I am riding the bus my consciousness affects me through reviewing the lessons from the classes I just had or the work that needs to be done when I get home. I live in Highland Park/Eagle Rock and in order to get to the side of my house I have to climb over a huge hill. I could take the bus but that takes to long so I walk it. When I first began to walk the hill I thought maybe I should I have taken the bus or man this hill is huge and that would be my consciousness speaking. I please to say now I walk it without a problem sometimes I even bet the DASH plus it is a good workout for my muscles help build them up for soccer. Soccer is also another time consciousness plays a role in my life I have to listen to my coach and teammates. Throughout practice I have to listen to my coach and do the drills he/she whats me to do and when I do those drills I have to be aware and focus to make sure I am doing them correct and better than the rest. In a I have to stay focus and listen to the coach to see if he wants me to switch positions with a player or move up and I also have to be aware of my teammates especially the goalie. I have to listen to my teammates because we tell each other what player to cover, we call the ball and anticipating a pass and figure out what needs to be improve so we can score and win the game. I have to be aware of the game and find out what side or players are weak on the opposing team,how to work the ball and talk to my teammates. Along with being ready to attack a player and steal the ball creating a opportunity to shot on goal. Throughout the whole game my consciousness is right there beside me. I never realized how much of my day is filled up with consciousness.

proof

I remember running the hill behind Eaglerock High- after a while it became a habit. In the begin I would mind my legs and have visions of Rocky training (in any of his movies!). As time passed, however, I began to not think about the hill or my muscles. I would think of other things. Where did my consciousness go then? Does this ever happen to you?
