Ute Hartjen is the managing director of Camera Work in Berlin, one of the world's leading galleries for photographic art. Our ambassador Micha Østergaard met her for an interview and asked her a few questions about mental performance.
What do you generally do for your mental health?
I try to get plenty of exercise in the fresh air and enjoy the beauty of nature. Overall, exercise and sports are important to me. When I find the time, I meditate.
Were you always convinced that you could achieve all your goals, or was there a process of experience and learning?
That was definitely a learning process, one that, by the way, is still ongoing. Even today, I'm not always convinced I can achieve every one of my goals. However, today I act according to the motto: "He who fights can lose. He who doesn't fight has already lost."
Are there things you have done or continue to do repeatedly throughout your career to empower yourself or to work toward a goal?
I almost always rely on my gut feeling. Many of my decisions are based on emotions.
Are there any affirmations you tell yourself regularly?
I don't have to be perfect. I don't take anything for granted. I'm grateful. What do you do when you get the feeling that everything is too much? Most of the time, I just keep going and don't dwell on the feeling.
Can you name any special personal characteristics and skills that have helped you achieve success?
Sensitivity, emotionality, trust, openness, spontaneity.
When do you become insecure?
I'm rarely insecure. When it happens, it's usually in situations I can't properly assess in advance or for which I haven't been able to prepare well.
What would you like to be better at?
I let a lot of things get too close to me. I'd like to be able to maintain more distance from some things.
What supplements do you take?
Krill Boost
Mood
Vitamin D3
Protein Shake
Is there anyone who inspires you to achieve more and why?
My personal trainer, because I gain physical and mental strength through regular training .
Was there ever a situation that triggered you to want to achieve more?
None that I can remember right now.
How would you describe your basic personality?
You can rely on me. If I promise something, I keep it.
Do you have a mental tip for our readers?
Try to stay true to yourself .
