How o use your main source of Health and Energy - Conscience?
Main part of Viktor Frankl’s Logo Therapy is an objective to teach people use their main source of health and energy. Yes, it’s conscience, no matter how corny it sounds.

To make it clear I will explain first, what do I mean, when I say “conscience”!

I can imagine, what went through your head just now: “Mom was scolding me for eating all the candy” or something like that, something, that when you say it out loud, makes you feel guilty or ashamed.
That’s a common misconception of “conscience”, which doesn’t explain it’s essence accurately.
This might come as a surprise: “Conscience - it’s a virtual substance living within every one of us and answering the question: “What do I believe to be right?”
I will not get into details where this knowing comes from, and what it’s based on.
We use it to get this exact answer.
If we, for some reason cannot hear it (it’s too quiet, for example, or someone close to you drowning it out, imposing beliefs that sound right) and make decisions based on what we think, and if this inner entity named “conscience” disagrees, we feel great tension, wich leads to:
- sabbotage you in any area of life;
- torture Your body;
- constantly create doubt;
- cause sudden and seemingly unreasonable negative feelings and tears;
- and, of course, our “favourite” visitors guilt and shame.
In the end, that all together, can lead to all kinds of neuroses.
That’s why, to ease your life with self, you need to listen to yourself closely to catch what conscience whispers.
And then teach yourself make decisions based on what you caught.
It is the same with exercising. At first it’s hard to force yourself do it. You don’t really believe it will help, and what will happen next also scares you. For example, what if everyone turns away from you.
