3 types of self-doubt that will improve your life

Let us not fool ourselves: Even the most self-confident person will certainly doubt himself once in a while. And that's not so bad either, because self-doubt is a bit like perfectionism: there are unhealthy kinds of self-doubt which we stand in the first place ourselves in the way. But also healthy ones that help us to advance, strengthen and help us to develop. And we should even make the following self-doubts a habit in everyday life!

3 healthy types of self-doubt

1. Am I perhaps making the problem bigger than it is?

Deadline missed, birthday forgotten, no time for the best friend, no coal for a great wedding gift, relationship at the end. All things that bother us animal-like and can convey the feeling, as if a world collapsed. But in truth, more than 7 billion people do not get anything at all. We tend to perceive our problems, mistakes, and mistakes as catastrophes, and in most cases they are trifles (unless we are the often mentioned emergency surgeon, whose presence depends on a human life). So it does not hurt to ask us about one or the other "catastrophe": Is it all really that bad or is it that I am dramatizing ...?

2. Do I interpret too much in there?

Who does not know that: Someone makes a careless statement (eg: "For you it would be best to have a vacation every four weeks") and we feel quite badly attacked by it ("That means, I'm not resilient? Or lazy? "). But in truth the statement was not meant to be an attack at all, but maybe even sweet ("As adventurous as you are, you would need a vacation every four weeks"). Therefore, before we get angry and insulted, could we doubt our interpretation of statements more often? and just inquire if necessary.

3. Does this really have anything to do with me?

Tuesday morning in the office, the sun is shining? and her favorite colleague is totally curt and weird. In such a situation, do you immediately ask yourself what you could have done wrong? Well, maybe you should ask yourself, if everything is always about you? Maybe the colleague has been sleeping with her boyfriend, stomach ache or just bad sleep. Everyone has so much to do with themselves, the only one whose life and mood you really have influence, you are. Whether it makes sense and is correct to relate the behavior of others to us, so we confidently more often in question put! And here too, if in doubt, just open your mouth!
