Blink your eyes twice if you recognize yourself in this (then it is not so noticeable that you are currently reading this at work): You know that you have to do things differently, but if you receive advice from others about how to can achieve this, then you do not follow it.
Recognizable?
Although it is incredibly stupid not to do this, it is not entirely illogical. Our primal brain (which causes 90-95% of our behavior) desperately wants to protect us against danger and energy loss, but of course it also protects our EGO.
Our ego is who we are, ego = me. When you have a problem and you actually get the solution (from someone else), your ego says: NO! We are not going to do this, I will think of it myself, because otherwise I would have to reject old ideas that I consider to be true and I don't want that.
This is of course extremely unworkable if you actually want to change. But what can you do about this? How can you leave your ego out of the conversation?
The short answer is: Not. This isn't possible.
This means that you have to deal with reality and make the conscious choice within yourself whether to accept something or not.
Or
You have to show up differently in your conversations. Your 'being' and your conversation intention must change.
If you come to gain information (which you are not going to use anyway), then things will go completely wrong. If you show up to actually have a conversation (information flow from both sides) in which you broach a certain topic, then you have a very good chance that you can offer value to your life to your problem.
In short, you determine how your ego functions in your life. Deal with the outcome in physical reality or change your intention of the conversations that can help you further.
