Set priorities and say no sometimes

Job, family, household, hobbies - it's a huge program. If you often feel overwhelmed, write down all the stress factors. Which of your activities are really good for you and which just drain your energy? You can certainly eliminate a few of the energy robbers.

Regain control of your time

The train is late again, the queue at the checkout is miserably long - it can be quite infuriating when we are robbed of time. So let's win it back by answering emails, writing to-do lists or reading magazines while we wait. Oh, are we moving on already?

Sticking together and deepening bonds

Interacting with others helps us to evaluate things differently and put up with an amazing amount. A stable social environment makes us self-confident and creates a sense of security.

Cultivate passivity and relinquish control

We cannot influence and perfect everything in life. Let's be happy about that. Life is a wonderful jumble of experiences and adventures. So let's learn to "let go": Leave questions unanswered, allow things to happen, let go of worries ...

Put on rose-colored glasses and become an optimist

It's great when we're ready to accept things. Even better if we also try to see them in a positive light. So let's imagine looking at anger through optimistic glasses. What does it look like now?

Try humor and laugh away problems

It's actually quite simple: if you laugh, you can't get upset. Surely there are some memories and pictures that make you smile? It's best to always have them to hand.

Develop habits and rituals

The evening phone call with your girlfriend, the weekly dance class: we need familiar things in order to tackle and master new challenges. Rituals give us a sense of well-being.

Draw a line in the sand in the evening and let everything go

Just can't switch off at night? Mentally put everything that is weighing you down in a drawer. Then close it. And throw away the key. Because tomorrow is a fresh, new day. Tomorrow will be great!

4 exercises for everyday life

1. if you have self-doubt: bring your hands together behind your back. Breathe in and out deeply and say to yourself several times: "I love. And I am loved."

2. against brooding: write down exactly what is bothering you. After 15 minutes, put the paper - and the problem - away.

3. for confidence: Bad luck? Look for a positive spin and learning effect. Ask yourself what the situation will bring you in the future.

4. for tension: observe the sky. This vastness, this beauty, this clarity. Sooo calming!
