✨ How to make peace with your ego self✨ 📲 Swipe for details 💗 💗 Since I “restarted” this account from July 2021 this year from my old hobby makeup account to a documentation of my self-love & healing journey, something that’s been a MASSIVE game changer for me has been the concept of the “thinking” mind & the “observing” mind. 💗 I’ve been reading The Power of Now by @eckharttolle and am now finally understanding the thinking mind as another way of being the Ego self. I saw a video by @lifebytaylor that puts the concept of your Ego self & higher self in such a simple but powerful anecdote. 🚘 An example of me switching places with my Ego self today was me putting myself out there and posting this photo. This photo is from first week of freedom from lockdown in mid October. I was confident to wear this outfit in public but once I saw how I looked in the photos I took I felt deflated. ⚠️ PSA I’m not looking for empathy/pity on the below. Just keeping it real. My stomach/waist has been an insecurity of mine ever since I gained 10kg last year over the first lockdown. I know genetics & other factors come to play (the waist is one of the hardest areas to lose fat without a clear caloric deficit). I have been tracking food very inconsistently since my last update a month ago tbh and still have had lots of days where I “overeat” when I’m stressed. The Ego voice tells me that I’m not doing good enough even though I work out 5-6x a week and have stopped the binge eating cycle, yet I can’t drop any fat or weight, especially around my stomach and waist. BUT after seeing @lifebytaylor’s video and listening to the power of now, I was reminded to switch seats with my Ego self. I know that what it’s telling me is rooted by my 10 year struggle with my ED, body dysmorphia, and overall just me being a human and having these normal thoughts. 🚘 My higher self is driving the car again today. 💗 Let me know if this post resonated with you, and feel free to share your thoughts as always. #thepowerofnow #anewearth #edrecovery #edrecoverywarrior #bedrecovery #bodydysmorphia #bodydysmorphiarecovery #selflove #selfawarweness #mindfulness #mindset
