If any of you know about my struggles with the word ego and how I was essentially brainwashed to believe that the ego is the death of me when we really need the Ego to survive.
IN THIS POST. Once and for all, I am putting the end to my obsession with ego.
Because I was essentially brainwashed to believe this word has mystical meaning and powers and is important, my therapist told me to replace it with a new word, that’s similarly synonymous but is more tangible and concrete.
I will never use the word ego again unless it is an obvious context, from now on I will use the phrase “self-asteem”
It wasn’t really my ego that was destroyed, it was my self-esteem due to my misunderstanding of the word ego.
So from now on the word(s) for me is/are SELF-ASTEEM.
