This morning, think about your “old self” and some of the more petty or self-centered behaviors that you used to exhibit (and maybe still do at times).  Send that “small self” Compassion for its fear-based living.  Send it thanks as well, realizing that without it, you probably would not have survived the emotional traumas of your childhood.  And, now that you are an adult, it is time to remove the ego from its position as primary decision-maker in your life.  So during the day today, regularly ask your ego what it would like as its “final meal.”  After work/school, obtain the necessary items to make a cruelty-free version thereof.  Later this evening, cook for your ego and serve it its delicious “coup de grace.”  Eat it with great pomp and fanfare (e.g. dress up beforehand, make a grandiose toast to the ego before digging in, etc).  Honor your ego and the role it has played in bringing you to Who you Are today.  As the meal comes to a close, wish your ego well – seeing as how your True Self will by “taking over” your primary decision-making responsibilities from now on.
