I am in control of my ego
When you say the affirmation "I am in control of my ego" you are acknowledging that you have the power to manage your thoughts and emotions. Your ego is the part of you that wants to be right, wants to be in control, and wants to be recognized. It can be a powerful force that can lead you down a path of negativity and self-doubt if left unchecked. However, by taking control of your ego, you can prevent it from taking over and causing you to act in ways that are not in your best interest.
One way to take control of your ego is to practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment and observing your thoughts and emotions without judgment. When you are mindful, you can recognize when your ego is trying to take over and can choose to respond in a more positive way. For example, if someone criticizes you, your ego may want to lash out and defend yourself. However, if you are mindful, you can recognize that your ego is reacting and can choose to respond in a more calm and rational way.
Another way to take control of your ego is to practice self-compassion. Self-compassion is the practice of treating yourself with kindness and understanding, even when you make mistakes or fail. When you practice self-compassion, you are less likely to let your ego take over and beat yourself up for your shortcomings. Instead, you can acknowledge your mistakes and learn from them without judgment.
Taking control of your ego requires a willingness to let go of the need to be right or in control all the time. It requires a willingness to be vulnerable and to admit when you are wrong. When you let go of the need to be right all the time, you open yourself up to new experiences and perspectives that can enrich your life.
