Being a Complete Winner: Mastering the Three Planes of Existence with Daily Wins
For a holistic approach to success and fulfilment in life, I believe comes from achieving harmony across the three fundamental planes of existence: spiritual, mental, and the physical. When we neglect one plane, imbalance follows, but when we intentionally nurture each, we create a life of alignment, authenticity, and purpose. One way to ensure this is by starting each day with three wins—one for each plane. This daily practice fosters spiritual connection, mental clarity, and physical vitality, empowering you to show up as your best self.
The Three Planes of Existence
1. Spiritual Plane
The spiritual plane is how I look at our connection to the source, creator, or God. It’s where you nurture your sense of purpose, gratitude, and alignment with higher guidance. A daily spiritual win ensures you stay grounded in this connection and approach life with intentionality and faith in the unseen power greater than our Ego.
2. Mental Plane
The mental plane encompasses your thoughts, emotions, and consciousness. By cultivating emotional self-regulation and expanding your awareness and perspectives through meditation, breathwork, or learning, you maintain a balanced and conscious mind. A mental win each day allows you to stay present, emotionally grounded, and open to growth.
3. Physical Plane
The physical plane includes your body, actions, relationships, and environment. Basically our third dimensional reality. Here it's about showing up authentically, taking aligned action, and caring for your health and surroundings. A daily physical win reminds you to act in harmony with your values while honouring your body and relationships.
The Morning Routine for Daily Wins
To start each day with purpose and alignment, follow this structured routine for achieving spiritual, mental, and physical wins:
1. Spiritual Win: Prayer or Connection with the Divine
Purpose: To cultivate an intimate relationship with the source, creator, or God, anchoring yourself in gratitude, faith and intention.
Practice:
• Begin your morning in a quiet space.
• Offer a prayer, engage in silent meditation, or reflect on your connection to the divine.
• Express gratitude for the day and set a spiritual intention.
Steps:
1. Sit comfortably and close your eyes.
2. Speak a prayer or affirmation of gratitude, such as:
“Thank you for the gift of this new day. May my thoughts, words, and actions align with love, truth, and purpose.”
3. Visualise your connection to the divine and set an intention for the day.
Example Intention:
“Today, I will act with kindness and courage, trusting in divine guidance.”
2. Mental Win: Awareness and Expansion
Purpose: To regulate your thoughts and emotions while expanding your mind through meditation, breathwork, and learning.
Practice:
• Start with 5-10 minutes of breathwork or meditation to ground your mind.
• Read or listen to something that expands your perspective, such as a book, podcast, or spiritual or philosophical teaching. My personal favourites are teachings rooted Hermetic principles or Scripture.
Steps:
1. Breathwork or Meditation:
• Try the 4-7-8 breathing technique: Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 7 counts, exhale for 8 counts. Repeat for 5-10 minutes.
• Alternatively, meditate with a focus on presence and awareness.
2. Expand Your Mind:
• Choose a resource that challenges or enlightens you, such as a text on Hermetic principles, mindfulness, or personal growth.
• Reflect on one key takeaway and journal about how you can apply it in your day.
Example Journal Prompt:
“What is one insight I gained this morning, and how can I use it to grow emotionally or mentally?”
3. Physical Win: Aligned Action
Purpose: To care for your body, environment, relationships and aspirations by taking actions that reflect your values and enhance your well-being.
Practice:
• Engage in a physical activity to energize your body.
• Take an aligned action that supports your goals, such as organizing your space, preparing a nutritious meal, or strengthening a relationship, doing something outside of your comfort zone towards your dreams.
Steps:
1. Move Your Body:
• Stretch, practice pilates, go for a walk, or engage in a workout that feels energizing.
2. Take Aligned Action:
• Identify one task or action that aligns with your values and contributes to your physical or relational well-being.
• This could be doing an outreach, practice a new skill, preparing a healthy breakfast, or having a meaningful and challenging conversation.
Example Actions:
• A 60 minute walk, a workout to ground yourself physically.
• Preparing nourishing meals that aligns with your health goals.
• Checking in authentically with a loved one or teammate, communicating a need or boundary.
Integrating the Routine into Your Life
Reflection at Day’s End
To reinforce this practice, take time each evening to reflect on your three wins. This builds self-awareness and gratitude, ensuring you stay on track with your intentions.
Reflection Questions:
1. How did I nurture my spiritual connection today?
2. What steps did I take to regulate my mind and emotions?
3. How did my actions honor my physical body, space, or relationships?
Consistency Over Perfection
The goal isn’t to achieve perfection but to show up daily with intention and authenticity. When you win in all three planes of existence, you create balance and build momentum toward a life that feels aligned and purposeful.
Final Thoughts
Being a complete winner means understanding that your spiritual, mental, and physical planes are interconnected. Each plane requires daily attention and care. By committing to three daily wins—one for each realm—you align your thoughts, actions, and spirit to live a life of integrity, growth, and fulfillment.
Start your mornings with this routine, and you’ll find yourself consistently showing up as the best version of yourself, ready to embrace each day with clarity, energy, and purpose.
