Dear Friends, 🙂

I hope you are energized and excited to set your goals as we tackle day three of 2025! 🙌

I am excited for you! 🌟

Today, I want to discuss EGO. 😌

In 2025, solar flare activities will reach their maximum intensity. As a result, we will inevitably be forced to confront our own darkness—our EGO.  😳

We all deal with ego sometimes, which can overwhelm us. This is a very human experience, so it’s okay. We’ve all been there! 💕

However, this year, we will need to approach our ego at a different level.😇

📚**What is Ego?**
The ego represents your lower self and encompasses the internal feelings, needs, and thoughts created by that lower self. Its primary purpose is to protect you and serve as a survival mechanism.

👉**Characteristics of Ego:**
– NEVER ENOUGH
– BOTTOMLESS PIT

📖**Examples of Ego:**
– Seeking attention, validation, love, care, and acceptance from others
– Accumulating material possessions like money, houses, gifts, clothes, shoes, bags, cars, and awards
– Experiencing anger towards others or blaming them
– Feeling superior to others
– Speaking unkindly about others
– Fear of being hurt or failure
– Desiring to defeat someone
– Showing off achievements 
– Manipulating others to get what you want
-Competitiveness
-Judgement
-Inferiority
-Insecurity, etc.

The common thread among these manifestations is that they often involve other people and material possessions. You will never find lasting satisfaction or fulfillment at a soul level by trying to appease your ego because it is truly a bottomless pit. 😅

Interestingly, even the masters who guide us and act as our angels have their own egos. 😇

The key difference is that they recognize the existence of their ego and let go of it immediately. 🪄

They choose not to put energy into those thoughts or feelings but rather refocus on their divine purpose—reconnecting with God. 🌟

They also don’t blame themselves for experiencing those feelings or thoughts; there is no shame or guilt involved.

💫 As a result, they do not project their emotions onto others. 🪄

Taking your emotions out on others or blaming someone else for your undesirable results will get you nowhere. 🌩

💫 **Here are some tips for working with EGO when you catch yourself falling into its trap:**

✅ **Take Responsibility:** Remind yourself that you are in charge and in control of your life. Take full responsibility for your own happiness and success.

✅ **Pray:** Start by saying, “Thank you, God, for giving me this opportunity to recognize my ego.” Then, ask for help to let go of it and refocus on your life purpose. Reconnect with God, just as our guides and angels do.

✅**Create Physical Space:** Step back and look at yourself and the situation from the perspective of your higher self. This will help you see what you need to do about the incident. I like to use the phrase from hypnosis: “Float above your body and look at yourself from a distance.”

✅ **Make Intentional Choices:** Choose peace, happiness, and joy in your life. If you consciously choose these feelings, there will be no space for ego.

✅ **Spend Time in Nature:** Take some time alone in nature. It always provides a healing space and is perfect for resetting your mind. Remember, this year, according to Eastern astrology, the power place is nature with lush greenery.

I hope these tips are helpful to you. 🙂

By the end of 2025, we will become our own master teachers and continue on our purpose path with confidence! 💪

Thank you for reading the New Year emails, and have a blessed weekend! 🌟🌈
