Something we cannot see or control.Behind the scenes, in your mind, your Ego is writing your life story. And it becomes very concerned with these painful and negative experiences you've had. It begins wonder if maybe you're weak and vulnerable. It forces you to protect yourself at all costs.So if you find yourself having emotional outbursts, and mood swings,If you have a harsh inner critic or insist on everything being perfect,If you're a people-pleaser, a tough guy, or you've decided you hate others and choose to stay indoors alone,These are all indications that your Ego is leading you astray.
