You know those times when you feel bad about yourself when you put yourself down, feel shame, feel small, feel inadequate, and you’re comparing yourself with other people on social media? That’s the lower ego at work!

The lower ego wants you to be all of that so that you can never see who you really are because when you become who you really are, you will be more powerful than the lower ego. 

Some of you may say, well if we don’t feel this way about...

We have been talking about the lower ego in the past two weeks, so I like to recap for those of you who are reading this for the first time (if you have been following these articles, just skip to the third paragraph). 

The concept of the lower ego: We do need the Ego to serve our purpose, it is our identity, it makes us who we are. It is a vehicle or a face for us to utilise to live our purpose, to live our lives, and to enjoy what life on earth has to offer. However, within...

Last week, we talked about how procrastination is instigated by the lower ego, and how we need to make a choice between the higher and lower ego.

Now, intuitively it seems as if the logical way to go about things is to suppress or try to kill the lower ego. To completely get rid of it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. We need to be counter-intuitive in how we deal with the lower ego.

The lower ego is a mass consciousness. It is controlled by the masses, and as long as we live in...

When you indulge in your bad habit or addiction, you know it is bad for you, but you can’t help it, and you do it anyway, only to feel a little guilty. You say to yourself that this will be the last time. 

But. It just was not your last time!

So what is this thing that has you hooked? That you just can’t help it. Or feel as if you can’t help it?

Take some time and think about it. Are you usually indulging in your bad habit/addiction when you are supposed...

A common mistake we all make is thinking our perspectives or opinions are facts.

Facts do not alter no matter how to we look at it, no matter from which angle, how we are feeling and so on. A fact is: the sun rises in the east. No matter how we want to twist it or feel about it, it doesn’t change the fact that the sun does rise in the east. Every single day.

The thing is nothing is as consistent as the sunrise. And what trails far behind inconsistently are our perspectives and...

How often have we come across someone — our friends, family who feel undeserving of the job they want, or the relationship they want, or they feel they are not good enough for the other person, or they feel that the life is too good for them?

Or worse, how often have you experienced this yourself? Where you push opportunities such as people, job opportunities, business opportunities away. Thinking you’re not good enough?

Even though mentally you want them, but your...

Are you tired of having problems, over and over again?

Its as if they never end. When you solve one, another one surfaces. And you start to wonder if you will ever get a break.

The thing is if we stop having problems, life ends. I know this is not what you want to hear.

We all want a life where it is trouble-free and that everything is smooth sailing. But we are never going to get that, as long as we are an evolving species.

Isn't it frustrating?

Well, life is literally like a...

How often have we felt stuck in our career, projects, relationships, connections, and so on and we feel we can't progress or take the next step.

So we just wait. The thing is, even when we wait, we can't get unstuck. Unless while waiting, we listen to the inner promptings that allow us to take a different direction.

Have you thought about the time when you felt stuck, perhaps in a relationship, or in a job that absolutely drains you and you just waited? And the wait became a few months, and...

Remember the days when you feel just blah. 

Uninspired. 

Lacking lustre.

And you find it meaningless to do anything because you are not seeing the results you are expecting.

All you want to do is to crawl into bed and sleep the day away, hoping the mood will go away and tomorrow will be better. The thing is, it is not the day that is causing you to feel this way. 

It is you.

Remember these few words, which I tell my clients often: MOVEMENT IS LIFE. When we move...

We, humans, are such strange creatures, we hold on to things that are not healthy for us, we fear them, and yet we have a strange attachment to them. Because in our unconscious, we feel as if without that which is causing us to fear, we might not be alive! So we often hold onto guilt feelings and guilt thoughts. And this can manifest in many different aspects of our lives. We feel guilty about not being a better parent, a better spouse, a better partner, a better worker, employee, a...
