Me praying to Lana to come out with a fragrance line
Again, such a helpful post!โก
The ego is a psychological concept that refers to the part of our identity that is associated with our sense of self, self-esteem, and self-importance. Our ego is the part of us that identifies with our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, and it helps us navigate the world around us by providing a sense of coherence and stability.
Operating from the ego self can mean different things for different people, but generally, it involves being identified with our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, and allowing them to influence our behavior and decisions. When we are operating from the ego self, we may be more focused on our own needs and desires, and less attuned to the needs and feelings of others.
Some signs that you may be operating from your ego self:
You are highly reactive to criticism or rejection. When your sense of self-worth is tied up in your accomplishments or external validation, you may feel threatened or defensive when others criticize or reject you.
You are driven by a need for control. When you are operating from your ego self, you may feel the need to be in control of every aspect of your life, and may struggle to let go of control or delegate tasks to others.
You are easily triggered by situations that threaten your sense of self-importance. For example, you may become defensive or angry when someone questions your authority or expertise.
You are highly self-critical. When you are operating from your ego self, you may be highly self-critical and may judge yourself harshly for perceived shortcomings or mistakes.
You are focused on achievement and success. When you are operating from your ego self, you may be highly focused on achieving success and may derive a sense of self-worth from external accomplishments or accolades.
Operating from the ego self can have both positive and negative effects on our lives. On the one hand, our ego helps us navigate the world and can give us a sense of stability and coherence. However, when our sense of self-worth and identity is overly tied up in our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, it can limit our ability to connect with others and experience true happiness and fulfillment.
Some reasons why it may be helpful to work towards operating from a less ego-driven perspective:
Ego-driven behavior can lead to conflict and tension in relationships. When we are overly identified with our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, we may be less able to see other people's perspectives or empathize with their feelings. This can lead to conflicts and misunderstandings in our relationships.
Ego-driven behavior can lead to stress and burnout. When we are focused on achievement and success, we may push ourselves too hard or neglect our own needs and well-being. This can lead to stress, burnout, and other negative health outcomes.
Ego-driven behavior can limit our growth and potential. When we are overly attached to our own beliefs and ways of doing things, we may be less open to new ideas and experiences. This can limit our growth and potential in both our personal and professional lives.
Ego-driven behavior can prevent us from experiencing true happiness and fulfillment. When our sense of self-worth is tied up in external accomplishments or validation from others, we may be less able to experience true happiness and fulfillment. This is because our happiness is always contingent on external circumstances and validation, rather than coming from within.
It's important to note that everyone has an ego, and there's nothing inherently wrong with operating from the ego self. However, when our sense of self-worth and identity is overly tied up in our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, it can limit our ability to connect with others and experience true happiness and fulfillment. By becoming more aware of the signs of ego-driven behavior, we can work to cultivate a more balanced sense of self that allows us to connect more deeply with others and experience greater happiness and well-being.
