Conscious override

Conscious override refers to the ability of an individual to consciously intervene and override their automatic or instinctual reactions in a given situation. This can include controlling impulses, managing emotions, or making decisions that go against one's initial instincts. It requires a high level of self-awareness and self-control, as well as the ability to intentionally direct one's thoughts and actions towards a desired outcome. Conscious override can be a valuable skill in situations where quick, instinctual reactions may not be ideal, allowing individuals to make more thoughtful and rational choices.
