World Ego Awareness Day
May 11 · Level 4 · #1546 of 2238
This day invites you to take a good look at your ego: how you see yourself and how that view shapes your choices and relationships. The aim is not to defeat the ego but to understand it.
How it is celebrated: people write reflective journal entries, talk with friends or colleagues about when pride helps and when it gets in the way, and try listening for a whole day without arguing. Teams can use it as a gentle prompt to discuss how they take feedback.
The word ego comes straight from Latin, where it simply means "I".
