Hello and welcome back, everyone! I hope that you’re doing well and enjoying your day. It’s my pleasure to present to you the November edition of my newsletter. This month, as always, my goal is to provide you with informative and engaging content that you’ll find interesting and helpful.

 Your continued support is appreciated, and it also motivates me to keep creating insightful content for you. Thank you for your continued support!

As we move through the late fall and approaching winter, the world around us begins to transform, and we're reminded of the changes that come with the colder months ahead. However, with these changes come new opportunities for growth and reflection. The vibrant colours of the leaves falling from the trees and the crispness in the air signal a time of transition.

It’s during this period that we can pause and appreciate the beauty of letting go, just as nature does, and prepare ourselves for what lies ahead. As we embrace the colder months, we can use this time to reflect on our goals, evaluate our progress, and make necessary adjustments to ensure personal growth in the coming year.

I appreciate your continued support and value your feedback.

Please suggest a topic you'd like me to cover by clicking 'your suggestions' and providing input. Thank you.

* In last month’s newsletter, I wrote that the topic was going to be “Five ways to tell if it’s intuition or ego." I realized that in July’s newsletter, I had written up on the different ways to separate the ego from the intuition.

Today’s topic will be “Tips on Curbing Your Ego.”

In the next edition, I'll wrap-up “ego versus intuition.

In September’s newsletter, I discussed using stones to work with your chakras. Today, I’d like to share other ways you can use stones.

In 1994, while training to become a Master Practitioner in Hypnotherapy, the instructor gave each of us a stone that he had found by the beach. Over the years, the water polished the stone until it was smooth, and it’s now the ideal size for my hand. He had drawn a symbol on each stone that fit with the training we were receiving.

To me, it’s one of the most precious stones I have. I often reach for it when I’m meditating. It’s meant so much to me that with some of my workshops, instead of drawing a symbol on the stone, after I did a guided meditation for the students, I handed them a silver or black permanent marker for them to create the symbol they were shown during the guided meditation. It helps connect them with the session they had and with their meditative state of being.

I use the silver marker for the darker-coloured stones and black for the lighter ones. The best part is that it didn’t cost you to buy the stone, and yet it’s just as powerful as any of the other crystals. Also, you choose what the stone signifies to you, and it’s interesting just how much it does help you. For example, when I have a specific goal in mind, I use my stone, and while I meditate, the results have always been very impactful.

Some will say, It’s all in your mind. I smile because, in the end, for so many years now, I've had beautiful experiences that didn’t cost anything, and it was Mother Nature that provided this gift.

*I hid the symbol I have on my stone so you can have fun finding something special for you.

Today’s Topic

Tips on Curbing Your Ego

The human ego, being inherently fearful, often resists change and seeks to maintain the status quo. This tendency can manifest as a reluctance to embrace new ideas, experiences, or perspectives that can limit our growth and potential.

There are things you can do to help curb your ego.

1. Stop letting things offend you; it’s your ego trying to convince you that the world should be how you want it to be.

2. The less you need to take credit for your accomplishments or have people recognize them, the freer you’ll be to enjoy life.

3. How about—listen! Let someone else complete their chain of thought and actually step back and hear them out. It can’t always be about you. Try to look at things from another person’s perspective.

4. Know when to stop. The ego is never satisfied, and you’ll find yourself always striving to reach new goals, making it so you’ll never truly reach them or be satisfied with what you’ve accomplished.

5. Your ego is the source of a lot of conflict and disagreement because it wants you to be right, making other people wrong. Letting go of your need to be right all the time will help to keep you grounded.

6. Your ego loves to divide the world into winners and losers. Instead, appreciate someone else’s work, give credit when credit is due, and compliment someone on their accomplishment.

7. Ego wants to control and micromanage everything in your life. Instead, put yourself in the other person’s shoes; it’ll help you let go of control.

8. Let go, because hanging on to something only keeps you from moving ahead in life. Practice letting go, which will help you feel better.

Surround yourself with people who are willing to provide honest and constructive feedback. Actively listen to their perspectives and consider their input without getting defensive. This can help you gain a more objective view of yourself and challenge any inflated sense that comes from the ego.

Next month's topic is a “wrap-up of ego versus intuition.”
