What are the signs of ego inflation, and how can it stall your manifestation? Ego-syntonic habits can keep you on a loop of fear and false confidence. Learn to detect when your ego has control and how to balance power.

Ego Inflation Signs

We all feel uncomfortable when we’re proven wrong, but the sensation is stronger when the ego is running the show. You might feel threatened by innocent comments, and being criticized feels like a personal attack.

General Signs:

Jealous of others
Image-driven choices
Demanding admiration
Constant need for approval
Paranoia without solid evidence

In Manifestation:

“I manifest better than them.”
“Everyone has to see my manifestation.”
“I can’t live without my exact manifestation.”
“My manifestation wasn’t as good as theirs.”
“I have to try hard to deserve my manifestation.”

Caging Your Character

An inflated ego often feels and looks like confidence because it’s a mask for insecurity. Egos are afraid of change, so they naturally create resistance in manifestation. They keep you stuck in one state and way of thinking.

• Overrides intuition
• Fear-based control
• Isolation and prejudice
• Seeks external validation
• Insecurity and lack mentality

How to Balance Your Ego

Egos won’t look at shadows for fear of shame. Practice self-compassion and acceptance of yourself and others. Frequently ask yourself, “Is this true or my ego?” Treat your ego like a baby or pet that needs to feel safe.

Conclusion

Self-compassion and acceptance reconnect your ego and higher mind. Watch for signs your ego has taken control and is driving your decisions. Focus on gratitude over validation to help your ego feel safe and seen.
