Embracing the Helpful Side of Your Ego
Description
Over the years, what’s come to my awareness in my spiritual work with clients is that they become resistant to their egos as our work unfolds. They tend to think their egos are getting in the way of them achieving what they want in life vs. helping them.
When you’re unaware and unconscious, yes, the ego is running the complete show. Once you awaken into the world of consciousness, however, your ego can become your friend, not your foe. The ego is your mind, your personality, how you think, what drives you…You simply can’t live without your ego.
So, if we’re going to live with our egos and never be rid of them, we may as well find ways to like these parts of ourselves, right?
In this episode, I’m sharing 3 ways that your ego is actually helpful and how amazing it can be when you recognize your inner power and can be fully present in that truth. in that human space.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-
What the ego really is.
-
The importance of activating your parasympathetic system for the benefit of your soul.
-
How to connect to a healthy mindset and a healthy body, because that’s where the magic happens.
-
How your ego can be your friend or your enemy.
-
3 ways that your ego is helpful.
-
1) Reason. Your ego helps you become relatable, collaborative, grounded, and flexible so you can make reasonable decisions and see the purpose in things. It’s the pragmatic and logical side of you - we need those things!
-
2) Willingness and commitment. Your ego helps you become willing to commit to taking the necessary steps to get to where you want to go. Your ego grounds you in the space for your mind to buy in.
-
3) Courage. You can’t have willingness without courage. Courage comes from the heart and the head. Your ego helps you pump yourself up to do the things that may be uncomfortable, scary, or don’t make sense at first.
-
Take things one step at a time.
This week’s homework:
-
How can you find the courage to choose one thing to focus on at a time?
-
How can you create the willingness to focus on that one thing?
