The Size of Your Ego: How Being Authentic Can Keep You Young
Have you ever wondered why you feel out of place at a party, in a restaurant, or even in a relationship? Maybe it’s your internal compass — your Ego — trying to tell you that you’re spending too much energy trying to fit in where you simply don’t belong. Yes, it sounds like the plot of a rom-com, but it’s real life.
Your Ego: Secret Weapon or Hidden Enemy?
When it comes to youthfulness and happiness, the size of your Ego plays a major role. No, it’s not about being the “diva” or the “shy wallflower.” It’s about understanding yourself. People with both high and low Egos often find themselves in an energy trap, especially if their partners are their polar opposites energetically.
- Example 1: If your Ego level is at 150 and your partner’s is at 9000, it’s like wearing six-inch stilettos to a marathon — total discomfort. You’re forced to act like someone you’re not just to keep up. And yes, it’s exhausting.
- Example 2: If your Ego level is 15000 and your partner’s is 130, it’s the other extreme: you’re constantly stepping down to meet them “where they are.” The result? Total energy burnout.
Think of it like a classic romantic comedy: if two people are on different steps of a ladder, one has to climb up while the other climbs down. But unlike the movies, it’s not as cute in real life. Meanwhile, couples with matching Egos — those standing on the same step — enjoy harmony and save their energy for more delightful things.
Why Authenticity Is the New Anti-Aging Secret
You know who looks youthful and radiant? People who aren’t afraid to be themselves. Authenticity isn’t just about telling the truth; it’s about living it. When you stop hiding behind masks and embrace your Ego, you begin to glow from within.
Think back to those moments when you walked into a restaurant and instantly knew: “This is my kind of place.” Or, on the flip side, “I don’t belong here.” That’s your internal energy barometer. When you’re true to yourself, you don’t waste energy adapting. Instead, you preserve it for something far more meaningful — yourself.
“Out of Place” Isn’t Your Story
People who aren’t afraid to own their Ego instantly draw attention. They walk into a room, and the atmosphere shifts. Their energy, their confidence — it’s magnetic. On the other hand, when someone tries to be something they’re not, it’s noticeable. And let’s be honest, it’s off-putting.
Being Yourself Is Your Superpower
When you allow your Ego to take its rightful place, you attract people who are on your wavelength. Your energy is no longer wasted. Instead, it’s directed toward rejuvenation, healing, and building the life you truly want. Your authenticity is your magic elixir.
Your goal isn’t to fit into someone else’s frame; it’s to create your own. And remember: being yourself is always in style.
