7 thoughts, with which we stand in our own way
1. I can not do that
Ever heard of the self-fulfilling prophecy? This means that a self-predicted event actually arrives. The reason: Our thinking determines our actions. So I think, I can not do something, I'm automatically inhibited and probably will fail.
2. What will the others think about me?
To always do it right is impossible! Anyone who constantly thinks about who they can step on their feet with their behavior, sinks in his uncertainty.
3. Why is it always me?
Yes, the others may find it easier. However, behind their Happiness façade is often a troubled life. We should learn to see more often what we have and not what we lack. Sounds like a fifteen-fifteen tip, but is THE key to happiness.
4. If only I had ...
Had, bike chain would have. A "what would have been if ..." thought has not made anyone happy. On the contrary, we crush our brains and get stuck in the past as the here and now moves forward. We have to make ourselves clear: we can not change the past - but our future!
5. That will stay that way forever
Some things can not be changed, that's right. But most of them - sometimes we just have to work hard and sometimes dare to change our perspective. It is often easier for one to ask other people for advice.
6. At some point I want to ...
Why not now? Because if we push things around forever, then we run the risk of never realizing them. Whether the tango course, the seaside holiday or the volunteer work - we should start as soon as possible!
7. Nobody can help me there
Of course there are things that you have to deal with first and foremost. But no matter what it is, there are always people who can assist, advise and catch you. Often we just have to jump over our shadow and actively ask for help.
