How to Develop a Winner's Mindset Each and Every Day

Developing our self is more or less like an art, we really don’t know what hidden potential resides within us, until and unless we tap it with a hammer and make it come out. Just like an artist sometimes never knows what he is creating till the point he actually completes his painting, he always says that “My art took me there. I was just going with it.”

Life is like this only. We want to get better each and every day and in doing so we want to come out, somewhat magically, being a person we never thought we could be (In a good sense of course). But just like an artist needs his brush and other tools to get there, I would like to suggest you the following tools that you can use to get to your own unique form of greatness :-

1.    MEDITATION.

Okay ! It might seem to you that this is a very old dogma and ineffective in such turbulent times, but believe me, meditation is what we really need today to escape this wormhole of stress. Meditation can benefit you in ways more than I could ever explain. Studies have proved that with meditation we can strengthen our EQ (Emotional Quotient) 100 times faster than without it. Meditation provides benefits like persistence, patience, anger management, stress management and can even cure mental illnesses like Alzheimer and Dementia. Check How to make your EQ stronger ???

2.    SPEND SOME ALONE TIME EVERYDAY.

Or if you can’t manage then at least one hour every week. This way you will know much better about yourself and you can even question your conscience in this manner. Whatever problems you are going through right now, just sit back and ask yourself those questions, answers will surely come.

3.    THE MIGHTY “WHY?”

Ask yourself the simple question, “Why should you stretch yourself for greatness ?”,”Why should you try becoming your better self each and every day?” and “Why should you today make yourself shine brightly than ever before?” 

Answers will surely come. Many times we forget about asking these questions to ourselves and please don’t ask these questions mentally, WRITE THESE DOWN WITH ANSWERS ON A FRESH PAPER, because writing down will make it stronger for your brain to accept it. This technique will help you in gaining a winner’s mindset.

4.    READ GREAT AUTOBIOGRAPHIES.

Martin Luther King Jr, Mahatma Gandhi, Osho etc there are many great men and women who have walked this planet Earth. I suggest, read such books. This is a sure shot way to get expert advice from such great men because even though they aren’t available physically, with their books we can easily access their wisdom, and in doing so we are moved deeply from inside to seek out change and get inspired each and every day.

Reflect on these ideas and make sure you apply at least one from them. These points will help you in ways more than you could imagine.

Till next time.

Stay motivated. Stay excited. Stay happy.

Build Focus Around What Matters

Your mind right now is having millions of thoughts. This very second, there are millions of thoughts, feelings and emotions going on in your mind. Most of those thoughts are subconscious.

This is the era of distraction. Constantly our mind is exposed to a new distraction every five seconds. Sadly most of these thoughts are negative. One moment you are thinking about a friend who ill-treated you. The other moment we are remembering our childhood and school friends. The very next moment, we are happy thinking about the gift given to us by our spouse. These millions of thoughts generate millions of emotions, and these millions of emotions many times result in an emotional imbalance.

And you know very well that imbalance is bad ; bad for your health ; bad for your well being and bad for your mental health.

How to counter it ?

Here are some fresh tips from my side :-

1) Stop Worrying

How much does a candy cost in your locality? A rupee here in India. 
Will you buy it if you need it ? 
No, right ? 
Then please tell me that why do you buy the "Worry candy" from "the shop of the society" ? 

This society sells worry for free and we all are so much accustomed to buying it, that we buy it very often. We buy it. We taste it.we regret it. And we again buy it. Why?

2) Will worrying do you anything?

 Will your worry candy, do you any good? Or, has it done any good to you till now? NO. Then why buy into the opinions of others, take their worries on your own heads and load yourself up with this burden? Worrying is the cost the budding genius pays to resign himself to mediocrity.

3) Negativity will always be there.

Good has to be there to win over evil. What I believe in is that, we need and we should have some negativity in our lives. Only then can we make a note of the positives in our lives. It's good to be uncomfortable because only the person who's uncomfortable will struggle and fight for comfort.

There will always be negativity in your lives. Something or the other will always bang your head and fight for your attention. But you shouldn't get distracted by it. Focus on positives. Focus on the happy things in your life.

A few points to explain to you how to defeat this mental pressure :-

1) Write it down.

I feel a lot elated when I write down my problems. It brings clarity. It makes me focus on my most important priorities. It makes me realise that how small are my problems and it's just me who's magnifying them. 

Writing helps you connect to yourself. It's like you're facing a person blunt like you and a person sweet like you. The person on the other side is you. It is very difficult to tell yourself the bad things about you. But believe me, when you'll do it. You'll love it !

2) Meditation

Yeah, I do mean that boring stuff of sitting for so long without any chatting. 

Well, it does have many benefits. 
Meditation gives you a firm control over your senses and your thoughts. It provides a unique power to you. The presence of the Infinite Intelligence (God) can only be felt with it. 
Yes, it will be difficult for you to do it for the first few days but then after some days, you'll get in the mode of automaticity. It will get automatic for you. There will be many thoughts fighting for your attention, but it will be your responsibility to focus up only one thing. ( Search out various meditation techniques on the net, whichever suits you, do it.)

3) Go with the flow

It's okay to have some problems in your life. 
It's okay to have some questions unanswered. That might be because God doesn't want you to have the answer. Be patient, answers will come. 

Time has always been careful about what should be given, to whom and when. When the student is ready, the teacher just appears. When the time is right, you'll get your answers.

 Let your mind serve you. You don't serve. Because if you serve it, (am sorry to say this) you don't deserve it.

Make it a practice to control your mental muscle. A man/ woman who can control their mental muscle has always been one of the most influential people of their era.

Don't you wanna be among them?

So stop worrying and let's kill it to the core. Am there by your side. Let's give it a head shot !

Stay motivated. Stay excited. Stay happy.
