The Battle Between The Ego And Soul

How to know which one is in charge

Everyone has an ego and a soul and these two things contribute to making us who we are however, they can be hard to differentiate when you don’t know anything about them. The ego needs the soul and the soul needs the ego in order to create balance within you. Most people have a stronger ego than they do soul because they are not connected to their intuition very well. By the end of this, you might realize that one is more in charge than the other.

The Ego

Your ego is how you view yourself and the image you choose to put out to the world — your persona. Your ego is fueled by emotions and can sometimes get the best of you. Your ego represents your anxiety and fears which means when it’s more in charge than your soul, you may have a lot of intrusive thoughts and tend to hold yourself back from taking risks. The ego hates challenges and will cause a temper tantrum when things don’t progress the way you had in mind. The ego is typically fast-moving as it makes you greedy for more without stopping to reconnect with reality.

Question to ask yourself to know if your ego is more at play:

  1. Do I often have intrusive thoughts?
  2. Do I often let my emotions consume me?
  3. Do I tend to overthink things?
  4. Are self-limiting beliefs an issue for me?
  5. Do I value material possessions highly?
  6. Do I get upset when things don’t go my way?
  7. Do I care about what people think of me and how I look to others?
  8. Do I only care about myself most of the time?

If you answered yes to most of these questions, your ego tends to be more in control.

The Soul

The soul is the complete opposite of the ego. Your soul is your higher self and you in your purest form. Your soul allows you to be connected to your intuition and the divine. When your soul is in charge you don’t stress about the little things because you know that divine timing and divine guidance are always at play. Your soul holds deep wisdom that allows you to navigate through life with little worry. The soul recognizes that challenges are lessons and handles them gracefully.

Questions to ask to know if your soul is more at play:

  1. Do I often get a gut feeling about things and follow what my gut is telling me?
  2. Do I accept myself for who I really am including all of my flaws?
  3. Do I tend to go with the flow?
  4. Do I often feel relaxed even when things don’t go the way I planned?
  5. Do I know I have the ability to create and be anything I please?
  6. Do I stand firm in who I am even if others might not accept me?
  7. Do I find happiness from experiences rather than material possessions?
  8. Do I love helping others?

If you answered yes to most of these questions, your soul tends to be more in control.

Which Is Really You?

Your soul is your true self. Your soul is you in your most divine form while your ego is you in your most “human” form. Your soul operates from the 5D while your ego operates from the 3D, allowing you to have the human expereince.

You should always listen to your soul and not your ego.

Your soul is all about going with the way things are meant to be while the ego tends to go against the grain of things for no good reason. Your soul knows you are capable of absolutely anything you put your mind to which is why self-limiting beliefs are not an issue.

The ego on the other hand dreams big but usually causes you to feel scared about stepping out of your comfort zone which is why it’s hard to reach your full potential when your ego is more in charge than your soul.

The soul is all about your subconscious mind while the ego stays on a conscious level which is why your views are so limited when your ego is at play.

Bring Them Into Balance

You shouldn’t strive to eliminate one or the other completely. Rather, create a balance between the two by identifying which one is coming through stronger in a particular situation.

For example, let’s say you’re at work and you have a deadline to make a certain amount of money. The deadline passed and you did not earn as much money as you wanted to. You might feel very angry and disappointed and like the universe is working against you. This is your ego coming through. You’re letting your emotions get the best of you.

Take a minute and do some breathwork to help you ground yourself.

At this point, you should bring your soul into the situation. What is your intuition telling you? Understand that there is most likely a deeper purpose behind this opportunity not working out and that in time, everything you want will come to you.

It takes a lot of practice to tame your ego and look at things from a higher perspective but trust me, it’s worth it. Life will feel a lot lighter when you understand your emotions and why you feel the way you do while also bringing divine wisdom into the situation.

Next time you find yourself in hot water pay attention to which side of you is coming through and work on restoring balance within you. Sending love, light, and healing energy your way. Good luck on your journey!
