The Marriage of Instincts/Unconscious Drives with Conscious Awareness

A large part of the human experience is the interplay of our conscious awareness and our more unconscious side. Much of the dance we do with daily living is greatly affected by these. Finding a way to harmoniously blend the conscious and unconscious seems to be part of the path.

I find a lot of my own struggles have to do with Knowing about something, yet still being unable to create an adaptation or change that addresses that knowing. The simplest act of eating or physical exercise greatly reflects the interaction. My conscious awareness knows the long-term benefit to my physical health, yet another part of me wants to go in a different direction!

So my question continues to be... How on earth do we harmoniously blend the different parts of ourselves, honoring what often seems like opposing parts.
