Hey,
Love.
So are you struggling with your ego?
You know,
I wanted to let you know that first of all,
It's okay.
Many dynamic,
Wonderful individuals such as yourself struggle with understanding and dealing with the ego.
And there's no reason to be ashamed or even fear your ego.
The ego gets such a bad rap from society,
Your friends,
Your family,
And especially the spiritual or religious community.
And it's really that these thoughts and these messages come from a place of misunderstanding and fear.
So we know that when you develop a hate or negative thought,
Feeling of any part of you,
It is exactly the same as you hating all of you.
Now think about that for a second.
So when we talk about not liking our ego or hating it or I can't believe I was in my ego in that particular moment,
You aren't just hating the ego,
You are hating you.
And when you resist the ego,
You are resisting yourself.
Now if you're wondering,
Okay,
This is great.
How do I transcend this?
Being the ego truly has to come from a place of acceptance,
A place of knowing and understanding that you developed this ego and can be in your ego.
It served a purpose.
There was a time in your life where you needed this protection,
Where you needed this shell,
Where you needed this personality or reaction.
And now all your body is doing is just displaying this reaction,
This person,
This personality,
Because it fears that it's going to be hurt.
And so the beautiful thing about our body is our body and our mind is built for protection.
So when your ego comes about,
You shouldn't get mad at it,
Mad at yourself,
Or start to have these negative feelings.
You need to understand and respect that it's showing up because there's something,
Whether it be emotional,
Physical,
Mental,
It feels like you're being attacked.
And so your ego is your defense mechanism.
And so you have to honor the ego's purpose and role in your life so you can start to create a new role and a new meaning for the ego in your life.
And with that is when you'll be able to transcend.
And transcending can take as short or as long as a time as you allow it,
But it's about that process of understanding and not resisting the ego.
So I really just wanted to share this,
We'll say,
Gentle reminder for you and for myself to have more compassion and love in those moments where the ego arises.
And when you get to the place after the emotion where you can come to a place of understanding,
Then you can start to do the work to change those triggers and resolve that ego reaction.
So this is a reminder to love all parts of you just as you are in this moment.
As always,
If you ever need help,
Encouragement,
Or support,
I am here.
I've guided thousands of people to transition from a state of confusion,
Exhaustion,
Stuck to a place of clarity,
Peace and purpose in their lives.
But just remember,
Honor yourself wholly and completely.
This is the mindful mistress with a few minutes of love,
Of light,
And of purpose.
