A topic which we often hear being discussed in the Yoga community or in general is the discussion of the Ego \u201cyour idea or opinion of yourself, especially your feeling of your own importance and ability\u201d.<\/p>\n
One thing I told myself as I was headed to YTT Day 1 was to leave my ego at home. This has really helped me stay focused on my own development on my own mat. A younger, more insecure version of myself would have the issue of constant comparison or the need of approval. For example: how is he\/she doing that and I can\u2019t? Does this or that person like me? In that sense the ego becomes quite toxic since you\u2019re feeling a need to be approved by anything external, rather than your internal self being at peace with where ever you are in life mentally and physically.
\nOn of my favorite quotes by Osho regarding the ego is: \u201cDeath of the ego is the birth of the soul\u201d. The sooner we become aware of the ego and it\u2019s dialogue within us, the better we become at silencing it.
\nSee ya later ego!
