endure.
Caution Hypochondria
The extreme forms of catastrophic thinking are transposed to the fact that past horrors or even the misfortune that has happened to others are very likely to be accepted for one's own life.
A classic example of catastrophe thinkers are hypochondriacs, who turn every ailment into a deadly disease. Catastrophic thinking puts people in fearful states, which paralyze them and make them passive, at moments when the opposite, namely courage and activity, is required. Therefore: have the courage to change. Also and especially in seemingly hopeless situations.
What are Mind Killer?
Mind kills are thought-provoking, which always undermine us and very often lead us to block ourselves. One of the main mistakes is that, to put it a bit polemically, we think it is stupid.
There are, of course, many other deficiencies, which we are struggling to achieve better self-efficacy, but these five are the most common and greatest blockages that hinder personal development.
Checklist Mind killer unmask
Do you ever compare yourself to other people, or even to successful personalities from the public?
Do you envy these people for their intelligence and success?
Have you ever wondered what makes Mario Götze such an extraordinary footballer that he shot the German nation to the title of world champion?
What were the roots of the success of the great German poet and thinker Johann Wolfgang von Goethe? He is known to write his books without reworking. He created literary masterpieces that still today enjoy a high value and seem timeless, without feeling a great deal of trouble.
This is pretty impressive. But are these people smarter than others?
Were they, or in the truest sense of the word, self-efficacious?
Do we need some intelligence to succeed?
The answer to all this question is "No!" These are all typical mind killers that we get taught at school, according to which only the smartest and best students will be successful later in their professional lives.
Good grades are not the basis for success
The biographies of many successful people prove that intelligence is not the basis for success in the sense of good school notes.
In the 80 years of the last century, psychology has become very intense in the investigation of classical intelligence tests and has found that intelligence is much more complex than IQ tests make us believe.
Talent and multiple intelligence
Howard Gardener, Professor in Educational Science and Psychology at the Harvard University, 1983 developed the theory that each of these exceptional people has some form of intelligence that is not usually thought of as one-dimensional intelligence, but as a talent.
Gardener derived the theory of multiple intelligences from the observation of talented and talented people. In fact, we are more often in the way of our own success than we think.

Aufschieberitis in 3 points: What is actually procrastination?
// By Simone Janson
According to Wikipedia, procrastination, colloquially as "defermentitis", is the bad habit of postponing necessary but unpleasant work again and again instead of doing it. What does that mean exactly?
Why cervicalitis is irrational
A habit that seems quite irrational - because of course it makes sense to chop off unpleasant things as quickly as possible. And yet, just about everyone knows the behavior of his everyday life:
The phone call with the customer, who wants to complain and ask for a call back - tomorrow. And the tax declaration has also until next week time. I can also write about the difficult text. Only: Meanwhile the bad conscience is getting bigger.
Procrastination: More than a short-term unpleasure
Undoubtedly, things do not always have to be done immediately, also has advantages: sometimes it is in this way, to avoid unpleasant things, because these are done by themselves. In some cases, it is better to gather more information before you become active. And occasionally, it is even better not to make certain decisions because it turns out to be wrong afterwards.
However: not always the tendency to postpone unsightly things is just a short-term discomfort that will pass again - sometimes there is more behind it. Procrastination can become a serious problem: Anyone who pushes unpleasant tasks ahead of them, instead of getting them done, is soon considered unreliable. Bad for your career and your own self-confidence.
3 groups of reasons
The reasons for the delay are quite different: There are three groups:
1 The one is actually lacking motivation, because the work is stupid and boring. Or because the associated success is too far away. But it also happens that they do not understand the meaning of a task, for example because they lack important information.
2 Other people simply can not organize well: they can not separate important things from unimportant things and can be deterred from their work by every little thing. Or they always keep their deadline too short, because they think they're going to make it.
3 And finally, a third group is afraid of their task, because they have far too high demands on themselves. Perfectionistically, these people expect themselves to always achieve top performance and equate success with self-worth. As a result, the work gradually becomes an insurmountable mountain which grows with every postponement.
Disadvantages of procrastination
But defermentitis has many disadvantages: "I couldn't finish because I didn't have enough time" is not a particularly good excuse if you preferred to put something in front of you instead of doing it right away. People who prefer to avoid rather than act quickly are seen by managers and colleagues as unreliable and disorganized. And the procrastinator himself will soon no longer be able to achieve what he intends to do, and will therefore lose confidence. Not a good basis for a career.
Many “postponers” are well aware that their behavior has a long-term negative effect. Most of the time, however, is the power of habit: behaviors that you have been accustomed to for years cannot be changed overnight.
Caution chronic procrastination
And there is already a technical term for this phenomenon:
