Studies prove it: a confident attitude to life keeps body and soul healthy. Negative thoughts have no chance of taking deep root. We go through everyday life more calmly and trust our inner strength in crises. You could also say that confidence is the engine that drives us towards happiness in life. Good to know: We already have the ignition key in our hands.
Much more than hope
According to expert Ulrich Schnabel, confidence is more than just believing that everything will work out for the best. It helps us to maintain a hopeful view of the future. Without it, we would hardly start a family, travel or get out of bed in the morning.
A question of attitude
If we lack confidence in a crisis, it is often enough to change our perspective. Realize that life is full of challenges and that you cannot undo what has happened. But no matter what has happened: Your mood depends solely on how you deal with it. The following example sentences may be useful:
I am strong enough to get through this" - "I have already overcome many problems, I can do it too.
Positive emotions
According to psychologists, the way to confidence is through our feelings. Consciously collect positive emotional experiences and adventures. Show gratitude, be happy for your friends, laugh from the bottom of your heart, be generous with others and with yourself.
Crucial resources We develop inner resilience when we surround ourselves a lot with people who love us and who share our values and beliefs. And: find a source of confidence for yourself. This could be a hobby or an honorary position. The main thing is to do something that makes you feel at home inside.
