Do You Struggle With A Strong Ego? These Ideas Might Help You!

[Frode]

Here are some great ideas I found in Ryan Holiday's book "Ego is the Enemy". I hope you find them as valuable as I did, and I'd be delighted to receive feedback from you on how I can improve my videos! :-)

How can I stop being so competitive when I play an sport? Im too harsh with myself and sometimes with others when I don't do things correctly or also I can't stand when someone is doing something wrong and withouth passion.

good videos and advices, keep it up!

@Alex4 I can only give you my opinion, but whether you follow it is totally up to you. 

I can relate to the frustration you feel when making mistakes, or when other people make mistakes and are showing lazy attitudes. 

What I've found to be particularly helpful, is to accept my mistakes, immediately figure out what I did wrong, and then decide on how I can do better next time. 

And for when other people make mistakes, I've realized that there's no use in yelling or arguing - it's easier to accept that some people just aren't inspired to do their best, but not let it affect my attitude. (One fun trick is to imagine yourself far above the playing field, looking at all of these small people moving back and forth inside a big square on the ground) I've found that the problem seems a lot smaller then.

I hope this was helpful, and I'm sure you'll handle this well!

I have recently start to put in practice the Leo advice which is when im  (angry,sad, disapointed etc.) imagine Im outside observing the situation, but surely id put in practice the one you said about imagine myself far above when Im playing football because that adapts better!
