Dealing with the Failures and Mistakes

Lining up with the authentic self and the ego’s role in trying to defend us. This can happen publicly in social settings or in private internally while alone. We all know what a mistake looks like, and we know what it’s like to not reach a certain goal or expectation in a life milestone or a traditional expectation. When we miss the Mark how do we talk to ourselves? Or when we are insecure in a social setting how do we react? Ego defenses often show themselves when we are threatened by our own memories, upcoming events, and threatened by someone else whether that’s physically or the threat to our integrity.
