A busy everyday life expects a lot from us: a lot of stamina, concentration and also full of power. We are not always able to meet these demands, especially when our daily routine catches up with us - a scenario that is all too familiar to many. We are then sometimes faced with the question of what we can do to improve our quality of life. Although we have long been part of an open, modern society that gives us many opportunities for personal development, this question is not so easy to answer. Perhaps that is what makes it so difficult for us to choose the right path for us. If you look around, you will find the next yoga course for relaxation, the latest tea for balance or the thousandth book to find your inner centre waiting for you at every corner. With all the facets for a fulfilled, happy life, it is a paradox that precisely this selection does not fulfil us and make us happy because of its mass.

But it is not the case that nothing that surrounds us can support us in finding regeneration in everyday life. As with almost everything, it is a question of how. In fact, the basics of recovery are not as difficult as they might seem at first: If you take the time to press pause and take a deep breath, you have already done a lot for yourself. But what exactly does that mean? How do you "press pause"? What comes afterwards? Ultimately, it means nothing other than creating awareness of one's own situation and looking around to see where things might be lacking. It always makes sense to start with yourself and look inwards, where everything begins: Our body does so much in our daily existence that we often forget that it also has needs that need to be met from time to time. These needs could not be more diverse, as diverse as we are as human beings. Nevertheless, there are a few basic needs that each of us carries within us: whether we start with the classic water balance that is necessary for our lives, continue with the idea of sufficient quality sleep and a wholesome diet, or end up with regular exercise to keep our minds and spirits clear - these and a few more factors are essential criteria for an active, satisfying life. And if we sometimes find it difficult to persevere and practice habits, we can look at this with a bit of a twinkle in our eye: If you approach situations positively, even if they are challenging, statistically you have a good chance of a happy disposition in general.
