In this episode, Dean Newlund and Christie Garcia discuss:
The power of the unconscious mind
The three types of ego
How to counter your own ego
Growing in understanding of yourself and others
Key Takeaways:
The unconscious mind got you where you are and it will lead you to that next chapter where ego is going to play a role in your life, relationship, and business. Your unconscious mind impacts everything.
There are three types of ego: the controller, the compiler, and the protector. Each of us typically has all three of those egos, but with one or two of them being dominant.
Your ego thinks fast, it’s triggered by emotion, and when it’s triggered it becomes defensive. The way to counter this is by taking a breath, being calm, and being conscious of your mindset. Once you bring awareness to yourself, look at what’s really happening in the room and try to correct the direction of the discussion.
Normalize it, get to the root, and just carry it. Don’t give yourself any judgment, but make sure to recognize that you have ownership. Then, you are able to empathize with other perspectives around the situation.
"Normalize it, get to the root, then now just carry it. Once you have a level of self awareness and ownership, you can get really curious as to why do [you] do that. That's how you uncover those belief systems and mindset." — Christie Garcia
