Most people feel bothered when they don't act in integrity. That feeling is not a pleasant one and you feel out of balance. Mostly, it happens when the ego takes over and you lost control. So what can you do to spot the early signs and place trigger points to remind you to not let it run lose?
There are five obvious aspects of an ego gone wild: anger, hatred, judgment, control and
pride, amongst the biggest ones. These are the five ways our ego can
manifest when we forget about it and let it lose with unpleasant results. While we all judge, get angry at times and feel an urge to control, most of these things can be controlled with simple awareness.
Watch yourself more often. We spend the first five years of our lives controlling our body for better handling of objects and movement but never did the same with our minds. By being mindful, aware of our moods, we can spot when the ego spins out of control.
The ego isn't a bad thing. In fact, we need one to function in this society but it needs to be tamed in order to pay well with others while being used as what it should be, a tool to represent the cumulative sum of your experiences.
