The Higher Self

While the ego part of ourselves can lead to reactive and sometimes negative behaviors, there is another part of us that can guide us towards more conscious, compassionate, and purposeful actions. This part is often referred to as the Higher Self.
The Higher Self represents our truest, most authentic essence. It is the part of us that acts from a place of love, wisdom, and inner peace. Unlike the ego, which is driven by fear, competition, and separation, the Higher Self is guided by connection and a deep sense of inner knowing.
When we are connected to our Higher Self, we can navigate life’s challenges with grace and clarity. We can respond rather than react, and we can make choices that align with our highest values and deepest truths.

A new definition of Egotistical

Our culture has categorized the ego into one not-so-awesome box. We tend to think of “egotistical” and “narcissistic” as synonyms.
E·go·tis·ti·cal | adjective Excessively conceited or absorbed in oneself; self-centered. "He’s selfish, egotistical, and arrogant."
While the dictionary definition of egotistical suggests that someone thinks and acts as if they are better than everyone else, I’m here to offer a different view on what it means to be egotistical. One that still includes being self-centered and absorbed with ourselves, but acknowledges that depending on how we unconsciously go about trying to control life, some may feel better-than others, while others may feel less-than.
My suggested definition of egotistical:
E·go·tis·ti·cal Excessively absorbed in oneself; self-centered; reactive. "Brandi is self absorbed, egotistical, and is constantly over reacting."
When we let the ego part of ourselves take control and we become over or under reactive in any given moment or period of our life, we are being egotistical.
