In today’s blog post, you’ll find four ways the ego can block us from pursuing what we want in life and provide thoughts on how to get past them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

This topic holds near and dear to my heart because I still face each of these every single day. <\/p>\n\n\n

BUT, awareness of the ego is the first step to overcoming it, so let’s get into it!<\/p>\n\n\n

What is ego?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

I first learned about the ego when I heard Eckhart Tolle’s interview on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday<\/a> podcast. <\/p>\n\n\n

Eckhart defines the ego as “the identification with form or your thoughts of form.” <\/p>\n\n\n

In other words, it’s when we identify with our thoughts (or our made-up beliefs) about ourselves, objects, etc., and identify with them. <\/p>\n\n\n

We believe and identify with our thoughts so much that we get upset when people disagree or don’t like them – it feels like they’re taking away our identity!<\/p>\n\n\n

I highly recommend Eckhart Tolle’s book\u00a0A New Earth<\/a><\/em>\u00a0for anyone interested in doing a deeper dive into the ego. He talks about how to disassociate with your mind (or thoughts) and be more present in your life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<\/a>\"\"\n\n\n \n \n\n\n<\/a>\n\n\n

Four Ways the Ego Blocks Us<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
Fear of judgment.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n
What is it?<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n

Many of us are scared to go after new opportunities because we’re scared of what others may think of us. <\/p>\n\n\n

We’re scared of the potential negative feedback that may come and put a damper on our dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n

How do you overcome this?<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n

First, people don’t care as much as you think they do.\u00a0They care more about themselves than you, so just do it!<\/p>\n\n\n

And if they do judge you or say negative things, forgive them and stop telling them about your dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n

Their negativity is a projection of their own fears and limitations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

You need to do what’s best for you because they aren’t the ones that will live with the consequences of not pursuing it. <\/p>\n\n\n

Comparison to others.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n
What is this? <\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n

The highlight reels of social media make it so easy to compare our lives to others. <\/p>\n\n\n

It’s so easy to scroll through, see how well others are doing, and then compare it to our lives. <\/p>\n\n\n

Comparison can hold you in place or conform your path and shrink your dreams if you’re not careful. <\/p>\n\n\n

How do you overcome this?<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n

Just be. Don’t worry about what other people are doing because you have your own role and purpose. <\/p>\n\n\n

Everyone’s path will be a little different depending on where they are in life. <\/p>\n\n\n

Try to focus on what feels right to you but don’t associate your identity to it or label it. <\/p>\n\n\n

We are so much larger than the labels others have defined. <\/p>\n\n\n

Expectations. <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n
What is it?<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n

You feel pressure to be a particular person for others. <\/p>\n\n\n

These are expectations you feel like you need to live up to from yourself or others. <\/p>\n\n\n

There’s a label and an identity you associate with, and veering from this identity can make you feel guilty. <\/p>\n\n\n

How do you overcome this?<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n

Give up defining yourself – to yourself and others. Just be. <\/p>\n\n\n

Show up and do what you need to do but don’t associate an identity to it. <\/p>\n\n\n

You are allowed to evolve and grow constantly. <\/p>\n\n\n

Don’t let a label limit your potential. <\/p>\n\n\n

Perfectionism. <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n
What is it?<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n

Perfectionism holds us back from putting ourselves out there.<\/p>\n\n\n

It’s that constant voice in our heads telling us that we (or our work) are not good enough. <\/p>\n\n\n

We’re afraid to try in case we fail. <\/p>\n\n\n

How do you overcome it?<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n

Take action and be okay with uncertainty, doubt, and fear. <\/p>\n\n\n

Those feelings of doubt will come, but they don’t need to hold you back. <\/p>\n\n\n

Recognize and feel them. Then let the feelings pass. <\/p>\n\n\n

Focus on the present and what you can control now. <\/p>\n\n\n

The rest you’ll work through and overcome if and when it happens. <\/p>\n\n\n
