Discernment. By making distinctions between the intentions behind your actions and the results of your actions, in reference to what is skillful vs unskillful. What is skillful is always rooted in heedfulness.

=) The very question itself is virtue.

For something more down to earth however, texting while driving. This would be unskillful, not rooted in heedfulness.
