I don’t know about you, but my ego is always just around the corner waiting to trip me up! sometimes she sticks out her foot, sometimes she uses smoke and mirrors. Her antics are never ending. Kind of like an old Bugs Bunny cartoon! “Ain’t I a stinker?” might as well be my ego’s line!

Today she’s tripping me up with some tedious tax forms that have the incorrect info on them. And, of course, the payor has no customer service phone number. I’m watching my reaction to this situation, which is where my ego sneaks in. It’s the reaction to circumstances that’s the problem, not the circumstances. So, I’m witnessing my “self” get irritated, just noticing it and allowing it to be, but not getting wrapped up in it.
In summary, my ego trips me up mostly by getting me riled up about ridiculous little everyday things! That’s why it’s so important to be vigilant…
