Life Advice N Motivation -Week 10: Erasing The Ego

The EGO.

What is it?

1. The self, especially as distinct from the world and other selves.
2. In psychoanalysis, the division of the psyche that is conscious, most immediately controls thought and behavior, and is most in touch with external reality.
3.
a. An exaggerated sense of self-importance; conceit.
b. Appropriate pride in oneself; self-esteem.

we all know more or less what the ego is.
But some important questions we need to ask are:

Do we recognize our own egos within ourselves?
What does the ego do and how does it effect us?


when somebody thinks highly of themselves we call them egotistical. however being egotistical also occurs when we think lowly of ourselves or victimizing ourselves, or when we subconciously seek attention.

jealousy , insecurity, anger and such feelings all come from the ego. negative aspects of pride, arrogance, and sense of self all come in the form of subconcious thoughts in our head, initially from our egos.Name calling, bullying, or any type of negative expression that makes us subconciously feel better than someone else, is caused by the ego.

to erase the negitivity of the ego, we must first recognize it. to be able to identify that one is being jealous, insecure, angry, egotistical, depressed, sad, spoiled, or whatever it may be, will allow us to make the decision to stop being that way. habitually living without an ego creates charming people within our characters. we learn to live with and appreciate the things we have and treat people and ourselves the way we should be treated.



this week on life advice and motivation we want you to recognize yourself being egotistical, and never do it again!
