The Irrefutable “Me”: A Healthy Diet of Self-Awareness Is Essential For Feeding and Nurturing The Ego

Our Ego.

Just what is it – and what are the key roles this mystical entity serves as we navigate a healthy sense of self, and our overall well-being as humans?

Our guest, Performance and Well-Being coach, Georgina Halabi explores the concept of ego and how it can be used to protect oneself from harm, but also how it can be used to transcend the self and connect to a higher consciousness. They discussed how wolves can be used as a metaphor for the ego and how it is important to study the behaviors of wolves to understand them better. They also discussed how the ego can be programmed to be whatever one wants it to be and how the higher self can be used to discern how to use the ego.

According to modern researchers such as Loevinger, and Cook-Geuter; there are seven primary levels of ego development. Therefore, it’s essential we ask these questions when considering the evolution of our ego development. 

• How do these levels of ego development affect our relationships? 

• The ego greatly influences our self – understanding.

• So, just what is the role of the ego in creating a healthy psychological state? 

These are all questions we’ll answer as we explore the landscape of ego development and its effect on our health and overall well-being. 

• Exploring the Relationship Between Ego and Identity
• Negativity as a Gift or Curse
• How we perceive things affects how they are
• Exploring Consciousness and the Ego in a Conversation

Action Items:

• Digging deeper into the topic of ego
