1-Minuten-Habit für 21. August
Write down one positive trait you possess
Warum dieses Habit hilft
Stanford psychology research shows that self-affirmation activates the ventromedial prefrontal cortex - the brain's self-processing center - strengthening resilience against threats to self-worth.
This practice creates what neuroscientists call 'cognitive immunization' - building mental antibodies against negativity bias by consciously cataloging strengths.

Kurz erklärt
Ancient Greek philosophers practiced 'virtue journals', while modern special forces training incorporates 'strength inventories' - recognizing that consciously acknowledging capabilities is foundational to performance.
The brain's negativity bias means we remember criticisms 5x more strongly than praise. This exercise rebalances that scale by creating written evidence of your value.

💬 Deine Erfolgsgeschichten
During my divorce, my therapist had me start a 'strength journal'. At first I struggled to list even one trait, but now I have hundreds. Reading them helped me rebuild self-worth when I felt shattered. Three years later, it's become my most treasured possession.
