S2 Ep5: We Are So Self-Absorbed!

The ego needs to be seen as a separate autonomous being and, at the same time, makes everything about itself. When we act from this separation mechanism, we operate from the lower self and are in no way at our best to perform in sport or life. We become self-absorbed in the way we see the world and how the world sees us. 

The ego is going nowhere, so we can fight it, we let it rule us, or we can be the master of it. If the latter is your choice, you must stay on high alert for the egoic impulses set to derail us from our focus and sabotage our success. 

In this episode, I share a story of catching myself being a servant to my ego. After further investigation in which I discovered the thought behind the thought, I uncovered the perpetuation of an old story that I am not enough. I tell how I got back on track, why Strava is my guru, and the truth about who is looking at you in a yoga class.
