036 What is the Ego?

036 What is the Ego?

Author: Clare Dimond October 28, 2024 Duration: 15:56

It’s time for us to get really clear about what the Ego is. 

The ego definition that we usually encounter, particularly when we talk about someone having a ‘big ego’ is that they think they are better than other people. 

But actually - they might in many respects be better at doing certain things. Recognising talent, ability and strengths of a body mind has nothing to do with ego. 

Ego is simply the obsessive attempt to secure the self-identity. And all of those attempts fail, because it’s literally impossible to secure the idea of self that doesn’t even exist.

So in this episode, we’re going to take a different approach and instead of measuring the feeling of self-esteem or self-enhancement, we’re going to use three much more powerful measures of ego. 

What is Covered: 

-Can our ego get bigger after practicing meditation and yoga? 

-Fight or flight - the intensity of reactions to a perceived threat to our self-identity

-How the unachievable wants of our ego can drive us to constant disappointment in life 

-Why the most powerful and creative minds tend to get stuck in a loop of self-belief

-How we can begin liberating our mind

There's a quiet sense many of us carry, a feeling that the constant chase for better strategies in work, health, and life is missing the point. Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond speaks directly to that intuition. Hosted by Clare Dimond, this podcast moves beyond the usual self-improishment advice to explore a foundational shift in how we experience thought itself. It’s for anyone who suspects that real peace and clarity aren't another hack away, but emerge from a different understanding of our own minds. Conversations here aren't about adding more techniques to your routine; they gently point you toward the innate resilience and well-being that get obscured by stress and overthinking. Whether you're navigating business decisions, personal fitness goals, or mental quietude, this podcast offers a space to consider how a change in perspective alters everything. You'll find episodes that feel like a series of quiet revelations, stripping away complexity to reveal the simplicity of a mind operating freely, without the struggle we so often assume is mandatory. It’s an invitation to stop seeking a superpower and to start recognizing the one you’ve always had.
