Welcome to Training the Ego. This is your simple guide to understanding and becoming the person you want to be – your true self. I’ve tried to make it simple, so that anyone can read and understand it, yet the concepts here are incredibly powerful. And if used correctly, can lead an individual to true self-transcendence, where they have complete mastery of self in all its guises.
In this article, we will provide an introduction to these two concepts and discuss how they relate to each other and to human well-being.
This article describes a state of peak growth, or learning, which can be attained as part of an individual’s self-transcendent journey.
Gratitude, a profound and often underappreciated emotion, holds the power to transform our present mindset and influence our future outlook.
Imposter syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where individuals doubt their accomplishments and have an internalized fear of being exposed as a “fraud.”
Mindfulness is a psychological concept that involves paying attention to the present moment with an open and curious attitude. It can help us improve our mental wellbeing, cope with stress and anxiety, and enjoy life more fully. It can also be practised through formal meditation sessions or informal moments throughout the day.
Meditation is a practice that involves focusing one’s attention on a single object, thought, sensation, or activity. Meditation can be classified into two main types: concentrative and mindfulness. Concentrative meditation involves narrowing one’s awareness to a specific point of focus, such as a mantra, a breath, a sound, or a visual image. Mindfulness meditation involves expanding one’s awareness to the present moment, without judging or reacting to any thoughts, feelings, or sensations that arise.
Personal resilience is the ability to cope with stress and adversity, and to bounce back from difficult situations. It is not a fixed trait that some people have and others do not, but rather a dynamic process that can be learned and developed over time.
Wellbeing is a multidimensional concept that encompasses various aspects of human flourishing, such as happiness, meaning, satisfaction, and health. Self-transcendence is a psychological state that involves going beyond one’s personal boundaries and ego, and connecting with something greater than oneself, such as nature, humanity, spirituality, or a higher purpose.
