Usage Note
Bewusst as adverb means 'consciously' or 'deliberately' — with full awareness of what one is doing. Bewusst entscheiden — to decide consciously. It can also mean 'intentionally' in a mild sense but without the stronger moral charge of absichtlich (intentionally, with the implication of intent to cause something).
Examples
