How NTE Came About (Other Than to Roast Your Ego)😂

For a while I genuinely thought I just needed to fix myself. Be more positive. More disciplined. More spiritual. Get my life together. Do the things. You know the drill.

And I was trying. I really was. But I was also still spiraling, still getting triggered by the dumbest things, still repeating the same patterns and calling it just how I am.

Then something cracked open.

What I'd describe as a spiritual awakening not the kind people post about online with soft lighting and gratitude journals. The confronting kind. The kind where you start asking who the fuck am I, how did I get here, what is this place, who built this and why do I believe any of it?

So I went looking for answers. I found teachers like; Eckhart Tolle, David Hawkins, Rupert Spira, Alan Watts, Michael Singer and Adyashanti just to name a few and underneath all the different language and frameworks, everything kept pointing to the same thing: the ego. The voice in your head that sounds exactly like you, has an opinion on everything, takes everything personally and is absolutely convinced it's keeping you safe. 

Spoiler: it is not keeping you safe. It's keeping you fucking stuck!

But here's what pissed me off about the existing space. Everything I found was either so fluffy it was useless, or so serious it felt inaccessible, or just people repeating what other people said without any lived experience behind it. Nobody was calling it out for what it actually is. Nobody was making it real. And nobody was making me laugh about how deeply I had been running on autopilot.

So I made what I couldn't find.

I created Not Today Ego for the people who've been through something real, wandered into the spiritual self-awareness space and thought "this is all a bit fucking much isn't it". 

The products I make are the ones I would have bought. The things I would have found funny. The prompts that would have stopped me mid-spiral and gone yeah, okay. That's me. That's the ego. Not today.

I'm not sitting here above it all. I still get triggered. I still catch myself mid-pattern. The difference is I see it faster now and I don't let it run me like it used to.

This isn't about becoming a better person. It's about seeing through the program that convinced you there was something to fix in the first place.
