It uses your voice in your head to make you believe it is you, but it is a component of your personality, not the authentic version of you underneath it. This episode looks at why that relationship gets overlooked. We are raised to focus on relationships with family, teachers, and peers, and rarely encouraged to focus on how we treat ourselves, how we talk to ourselves, how we see ourselves. Would you ever let anyone talk to you the way you talk to yourself? Many people are in self-abusive relationships with themselves, and that has everything to do with an ego running amok. Before self-love, there is self-acceptance. That is step one, and it requires introspection, taking ownership of what has led up to this present moment without projecting onto or blaming others. You cannot change the past. It must be accepted. The only thing that is real is this present moment, and the relationship that matters most is the one within you. This is not about fighting the ego. It is about seeing it, watching it, letting it be, and then talking to yourself the way you deserve. The relationship between you and you is tier one. Get that right, and everything else and everyone else benefits. Remember, you have a choice. Choose to be Present!
