85. Ego: Use It To Your Advantage

Let’s face it, we all have little quirks or do things we maybe shouldn’t do throughout the day. For example, have you ever found yourself gazing through the fridge without even being hungry? Perhaps you incessantly check your email just to see if there's anything new. Or maybe you have engaged in the act of gossiping behind someone's back. Moments like these (and countless others) in our daily lives all have something in common. Can you guess what it is? The answer may surprise you.  When you take a deeper look into psychology and learn more about why humans do what they do, you’ll discover the reason that we engage in these types of behaviors is because of our ego. Our ego is so much more than just something that gives you the “feeling” of confidence. It’s actually one of the most powerful forces that can make or break the course of our future.  Welcome back to another episode of the Unlimited Potential show! During episode 83, Dr. Ram and Chris have a deep-dive conversation all about this topic and define exactly what the ego is.  We outline the unexpected ways ego can manifest in your life, and we also provide some simple ways to keep your ego at bay if it turns toxic.  This is one of the episodes you can put on the “power playlist” for the show. Even if this is the only episode you ever listen to, understanding these concepts and learning how to apply the life principles discussed in today’s episode can help unlock your next level of success and higher consciousness. We hope you enjoy and re-listen to it as much as we are.  After you’re finished with today’s show, it’s time to take action!
