Confidence in Turbulent Times - 3 Tips How to escape the loss of control and shape the future with confidence. Many people feel a loss of control in the face of the many problems around us. Through our actions, we cannot really influence and control anything recognizable. Or can we? No matter what we do, how we decide, or behave, everything somehow remains as it is. Climate change doesn't stop just because we ride our bikes more often now. This perceived loss of control causes many to resign. Confidence for the future arises through action in the present! How can we break free from powerlessness and increase our confidence? Here are 3 specific tips: 1. Focus on what you can do Break down the big problems so that you only have small packages to carry, understand, and where you can make a direct impact. This gives you a good feeling. For example, if you are shocked by the current wars, get involved in your city to ensure that aid is distributed to refugees. This turns the huge "war package" into a small parcel that you can carry, and your sense of self-efficacy will satisfy you. Each partial success shows you that you can achieve something. 2. Align perception anew Notice what works, what is good, what skills and resources we have. This will also increase your self-confidence, and you will be able to - preferably together with others - find a new direction, release energy, and create something new. Focus on the facts and inform yourself about where there are already new solutions and ideas. Fortunately, we are not alone. There are so many dedicated people! Join forces with them! 3. Accept situations for the moment if you cannot change them. The more you fight against a situation and struggle with the fact that it is not as you would like it to be, the more energy it costs you. Instead, use this energy to be active within your current possibilities. Every crisis is a turning point! It always comes down to the question: How do I decide? In which direction am I going? Now more than ever, it is important not to resign and to maintain or regain your confidence. Confidence is a true life elixir that supports us in difficult times. When we nurture and share confident thoughts and are aware that we have influence in our lives, we regain more energy, become calmer, more creative, and more positively inclined, our immune defenses even increase, and we recover faster from illnesses. Surround yourself with positive and inspiring books, podcasts, or movies that can boost your mood and confidence. Go out into nature. No matter how wet, cold, or gray it may be outside right now. Experiment with different approaches and find out what works best for you. Be like the sunflower! Did you know that the sunflower turns back to the east in the night because that's where the sun rises the next morning? So let's turn to the sun in the darkness!
