Well, you can start with baby steps, make a plan.
Say goodbye to the
parts or aspects of the ego that cause you trouble, stress or pain?
Example from the ego we get jealousy, anger, hatred, separation from God and all that exist, greed, selfishness,
depression, indignation, vengeful thoughts, discouragement,
despair, self loathing, worry, fear, doubt, guilt and pride, and so on.
Pick one a week -say,
pride...and when it comes into your thoughts or emotions, say, "Oh no, nope, I'm not letting you in. Nope,
you're not tricking me to feel this awful, lower ego feeling. No way."
And when it seeps in again for a week, do that again and again.
Then, go to another that troubles you for a week.
I started with
worry in Jan 2006...boy during a 2 week period was I surprised to become aware of HOW much worry crept into my brain!
My thoughts!
And what it felt like...(I had a lot to worry about, too...as we all can have...''I'm gonna be late, I don't have enough
money, I don't have health ins''...whatever!"
I haven't had worry since then...IF a thought were to seep in of some silly worry?
I laugh at it - and say to God within me,"HA! That was NOT my thought...I have nothing to worry about."
Phfft...gone.
