Jeden Morgen kämpfte Carla mit Selbstzweifeln, bevor sie ins Büro ging. Sie stellte ihre Fähigkeiten ständig infrage und fragte sich, ob sie gut genug ist. Eines Tages schrieb sie eine einfache Affirmation auf einen Zettel: „Ich bin selbstbewusst und fähig.“ Sie klebte ihn an ihren Spiegel und las ihn jeden Morgen laut vor. Anfangs fühlte es sich komisch an, aber nach ein paar Tagen merkte sie eine subtile Veränderung in ihrer Haltung. Sie ging mit mehr Präsenz in Meetings und meldete sich sogar häufiger zu Wort. Mit der Zeit half ihr diese tägliche Gewohnheit, negative Gedanken neu einzuordnen und sich an ihre Stärken zu erinnern. Heute schreibt sie jede Woche eine neue Affirmation und teilt sie mit Kolleginnen und Kollegen, um auch andere aufzubauen.
