How to Calm Down? Gain Trust

How to Calm Down? Gain Trust. You can never be someone else, you can only become more and more yourself. It is important to get to know yourself better and to listen to your own "inner" voice. Because if you manage to listen to yourself more and more, to trust yourself, then we can also meet other people more and more trustingly. Mindfulness practices can help us get to know ourselves better and gain more confidence in ourselves. So we gain “self-confidence”. Because everyone knows situations in which it is difficult to be self-confident. Regardless of whether we are confronted with criticism from outside, have stage fright or are dissatisfied with ourselves. 

We're also used to having someone outside telling us what's right and what's wrong. We trust little in our own wisdom, in our own knowledge. We've also learned to ask if what we're doing is okay and to listen to what others say. But it's about giving yourself the answer, such as "I'm allowed to work less, I can rely on my inner voice and I know what I need".
