Valid point! But it's not always about resisting natural tendencies to cultivate awareness. You can carry on doing whatever you are doing with consciousness. E.g. if you are hungry, you can (and should) eat consciously. If you are conscious that you are hungry and not eating food intentionally, then probably you are ignoring your body's needs. Shouldn't one be conscious about it too?
Anything done for sufficiently longer duration tends to become a habit, if one is not conscious of it. If you never gets angry, it really becomes difficult to get angry when required because it's not your habit. Same is applicable for all types of penances too.
In fact, if you train your consciousness well enough, then always remaining conscious and aware too become a habit ...a good habit indeed! 😊
Yes very true, living life in full awareness is very very important. If ypu start being conscious about every action gradually ypu get into habit of a mindful living and you also have the ability to respond to everything around you.
