| “Why me?” is the voice of victimhood.I hear it all the time—in myself and in the women I work with.The thing is, being a victim is never part of healing. It’s what inhibits it.Sometimes we must tend to our grief, our disappointments, the uncomfortable parts of ourselves. That’s part of the journey. But victimhood doesn’t serve growth.A few years ago, I was lying in a hospital bed. All I could hear was: Why me? After a few days, I realised: Why not you? What makes you special? All humans go through challenges.Since then, I’ve made an agreement with myself: when the “poor me” voice arises, I give it five minutes. I feel it, acknowledge it, and move on.Victimhood isn’t just a mindset—it affects our metabolism, immunity, and hormones. Self-rumination is where anxiety is born.A 2025 study linked chronic rumination and victim-identification to increased inflammation markers in the body. And as Ayurveda teaches, inflammation is the seed of most disease.The opposite of victimhood is your purpose. Your dharma—your sacred why.When we shift from “Why is this happening to me?” to “What am I here for?” we move from paralysis to participation.From two decades of mentoring, I can tell you this: Most mental illness improves—often dramatically—when a person finds a way to serve others.We are wired to connect, to contribute. When we’re stuck in “me, me, me,” we suffer. When we move into “we,” we begin to heal.Those dark moments in life aren’t here to bury us. They’re here to plant us—so we can grow into who we came here to be.And when we step into that truth, we find peace. We find clarity. We know why we’re here.Happiness may come and go. But inner peace—that steadiness—can hold you through it all.We don’t develop it overnight. But with breath, ritual, and daily practice, the body softens, the mind clears, and your choices begin to align with what truly matters.A simple practice to connect with your purpose Sit somewhere that brings you calm—outdoors, or with an image that soothes your body and breath. Write down ten things you wish to do or create in this life. Next to each one, write: Why?The why is your signpost. It points you back to your dharma—your deeper reason for being. |
