Have you ever noticed how quickly you make things personal?A delayed reply becomes rejection.Critique feels like disrespect.Silence feels intentional.Someone else’s success becomes comparison.Without realising it, you place yourself at the centre of every interaction and then wonder why everything feels heavy.This episode explores the quiet habit of self-centring and how it shapes the way we interpret people, conversations, and meaning itself.We unpack:How ego subtly becomes the axis in everyday behaviourWhy we mistake emotional reactions for objective truthHow resonance is shaped by season and maturityAnd what shifts internally when you stop assuming everything is a reflection of youDecentring yourself is not shrinking.It is stabilising.It is the discipline of pausing before reacting.Of questioning your lens before judging reality.Of allowing value to exist beyond your alignment.Maturity begins when you realise:You matter but you are not the axis.
