‘Get over yourself’ isn’t just a jab. It means getting out of your own way, past self-sabotage, so you can discover who you’re meant to be.
The phrase “get over yourself,” usually directed at someone who is perceived as thinking too highly of themselves, has been around a long time. Ironically, the hardest journey in life can be what this jab points to: how to get over yourself so you can become the person you want to be.
“Getting over yourself” isn’t just a figure of speech. It’s a neurological workout, requiring you to confront the stories your brain loves to tell and the patterns it clings to for comfort. Why? Because your brain is wired for survival, not transformation. And survival loves a predictable narrative.
