We can go through many ego deaths in our lives. At the time they are incredibly painful, lots of grief, confusion, fear or uncertainty as to the way ahead.
I had an ego death after the end of my marriage, when I left the Narc abuse, when i gave up drugs & alcohol, when my ex husband bought me out of our house, when i left my boy cats with him and no longer felt multiple cat mum. And now as i plan my exit from my career in advertising to go full time into coaching & my purpose.
When we release old versions of our selves, old stories, say goodbye who we used to be, who we thought we would be and be open to a journey of discovery of something new, it can feel tempting to try and leave a door to old you, old world open, a foot in each timeline, a maybe lets see. Thats not growth, thats not evolution, thats fear and lack and not being all in with full faith to your fantastic future you.
So as i prepare to take steps, leaps, and release with love (and grief) more of the old me, with no guarantee of what new me will bring, i do so fully and willingly. Because so far all this change has been in my highest and best.
What are you shedding out of, leaving behind and what new are you stepping into?
