How does my mind know that I am conscious?

Do minds somehow infer that they are conscious (which would probably mean that is causal),
or does consciousness emerge in a mind that models something like consciousness?

It's all chickens and eggs!

Consciousness is not something you do, it's what you are.

@boris_steipe
I agree,
but I also think that my mind and the conscious "I" are two separate things.
Mind is bran's information processing software (or something along those lines), and consciousness is the (maybe) emergent property of that system (or something else, we can stop pretending that we know haha).

If that is the case, I think my question "how does my mind know that I am conscious" is a valid one.
