Common sense is something different for every individual, but it is all the same as far as common sense goes. And it applies to EVERYONE and EVERTHING in our lives. These are just a few of my thoughts.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Time alone, if needed.

Step 1

If it feels wrong, it probably is.

Think about what you are doing or what you plan on doing. If something feels not right about it, well, then there is something wrong about it.
Step 2

Feeling guilty.

Wonder what it is that you are doing and why, is it important enough for you to have to maybe end up feeling guilty?
Step 3

Be by yourself and think.

Think. why am I doing this and what for? That's when common sense comes in to save you (And by the way you can feel it). If you still have doubts, go somewhere to be by yourself to think and to ask yourself, is this what I really want to do?
Step 4

If you feel its wrong just say, NO!

If you decide that it is wrong, don't do it, just say, NO! To yourself or to who ever it is. It is ALWAY'S OK to say NO!
Step 5

Clear conscious.

If you decide it's right after considering EVERYTHING, then it must be right. You can have a clear conscious and go for it.
