The "Egoless" distinction that the author María de Mondo discovered during her training as an executive coach at EEC is one of the starting points for the book she presented at EEC Alumni. "I, ego" is a reading to "stop suffering".
After the Certification Programme and starting a career as a professional coach came trainings in other disciplines such as the Enneagram, years of growth and research that Maria del Mondo now collects and shares in the book.
"The ego is the character that you create from external judgements and labels and that will determine your way of seeing and being in life. But people", he clarified "first we are and then we do and we have. The Self comes first. What we do and who we are has to do with the image others have of us. But you are not what you do," she insisted.
A democratisation of the ego that he underlined by recognising that "what bothers us about others is something we all share. We all suffer from the same thing and our ego hides behind this".
To live, feel and think from the Self and not from the Ego, Maria recommends amor.... although with nuances.
"Let's not think we can park the Ego 24/7. The ego will always be there"What we can do is to recognise it so that we don't get carried away by its impulsiveness. "When you understand the ego, you recognise it within yourself and also in other people... You stop being on automatic," he continued.
This is what the expert calls getting out of the ego: stop thinking about oneself all the time and look at the other. A challenge that it meets, above all, through two questions: "How would I have to think about it if I did it out of love? and also, if I have to make a decision, which option gives me the most peace?"
Exercises such as this one, included in her book, which Maria de Mondo recommends "to realise when one has unpleasant feelings". with a clear objective "to stop believing that our way of seeing things is the truth and to stop trying to be right" at all times.
