“I AM A WINNER” 🏆
This isn’t just a feel-good phrase for me; it’s a deep-rooted belief that has carried me through life’s toughest moments.
Today, I’m sharing my personal strategy with you—a strategy that’s helped me stay strong, even when life feels overwhelming.
Yes, there are times I face rejection, fear, anger, or misbehavior from others.
Sometimes guilt or regret pulls me down.
There are days when expectations remain unmet, and I feel crushed.
Work demands pile up, and I feel time slipping through my fingers.
Sometimes I feel utterly exhausted and drained.
So, how do I deal with all this and still come out as a winner?
I owe my Winner Mindset to years of spiritual learning—through self-help books, mentors, religious scriptures, Vipassana silent retreats, and life’s lessons. But it’s not about avoiding negative emotions; it’s about how I process them.
Here’s my secret formula:
1️⃣ Allow Yourself to Feel:
I sulk. I cry. I get angry. Sometimes, I go completely silent.
Other times, I just let it pass without reacting.
But what matters is what I do next.
2️⃣ Journaling – My Favorite Method:
I grab my journal and start writing down everything—how I feel, what options I have, and what’s beyond my control.
I remind myself that I can’t control how others react.
If my thoughts slip into a victim mindset, I gently shift towards my winner mindset by asking:
What lesson is hidden in this?
What can I do differently?
Can I seek help from someone I trust?
What can I do now to calm myself?
3️⃣ Self-Care First:
I list activities that bring me peace—meditation, long walks, enjoying a quiet coffee, or indulging in something I love.
When I write down these options, my mind relaxes. I pick one and actually do it.
4️⃣ Accepting and Surrendering:
Not every problem has a perfect solution. When that’s the case, I take a stand that feels right for me, even if it means turning a deaf ear to negativity. For deeper, unsolvable issues, I surrender to the Divine, trusting that clarity and peace will come.
5️⃣ Detach and Re-Energize:
When work or time pressure builds up, I take a step back. I detach emotionally, breathe deeply, and break the big tasks into smaller steps. Suddenly, I feel more energized and productive.
6️⃣ Be Self-Compassionate:
When I’m unhappy with myself, I forgive myself, treat myself with kindness, and let go of judgment.
And finally… Make someone happy to feel happy yourself. This always works!
Have faith. Trust the process.
And remember, This Too Shall Pass.
