UE #53: The Winner Effect, Power, Self-Esteem

In this episode, I explore the 'Winner Effect', a phenomenon where individuals are more likely to win after a history of winning. I discuss the emotional impact of winning and losing, and the role of status games. I warn of the potential negative impacts of unchecked winning and power. I also suggest strategies like offering self-compassion, noticing our wins, reconsidering our hierarchies, and shifting from a competitive to a collaborative mindset. I emphasize the importance of staying humble and viewing setbacks as opportunities for growth, ensuring power doesn't lead to problematic behaviors.Website: sankalpgarud.orgListen on Spotify/iTunes/RSS/Web PlayerSign up for the mailing list!Please share the podcast using the links below.

UE #51: The Competitive vs The Collaborative Frame (Why Long Term Identification as a Victim can be Unhealthy)

In this episode, we talk about the difference between the collaborative frame and the competitive frameAI summary: In this podcast, we delve into the concepts of competitive and collaborative frames and their influence on mental health. The competitive frame often generates feelings of fear, defensiveness, or anger, potentially distorting one's perception of reality. On the other hand, the collaborative frame fosters a sense of cooperation, mutual understanding, and support, ultimately promoting better mental health and overall well-being. Recognizing and shifting from a competitive to a collaborative frame can lead to healthier relationships and personal growth.Instant Emotional Intelligence WorkbookMeasure your emotional intelligence here.
