The ego is a master in leading our mind away from the NOW, projecting fears that we experienced in the past into the future.
Our ego gets us so wrapped up in fear patterns that we are unable to see the bigger picture and love that is trying to shine through which is why it is so important to calm down the voice in our head and teach our ego where its rightful place is.
Whilst the ego was designed to protect us from real life danger, it is so overtrained by the news, marketing, education, politics etc, that it causes a fight or flight response all the time, pretending we are in life danger, even when we are not.
The ego is actually supposed to be quiet most of the time. So how do we get it back to its natural behaviour?
Every time you catch yourself in negative thought spirals, take a step back and observe yourself. Observe your ego. See it as this little child that is afraid to die. So love it, thank it for just wanting to protect you, tell it that it is not necessary though. It can help to give your ego a name when you talk to it.
That helps to disidentify with it.
Ask your ego two questions when panicking:
Am I or someone else dying because of this?
Does the planet stop turning because of this?
The answer is no? Tell your ego that there is no need to be protective right now as there is no life danger and send it back to sleep. You can say something like: “See it is not necessary to protect me right now. Sit back, relax and go on a long vacation. You have been working so hard for such a long time, you really deserve a break”
