Humans are very good at conceptualizing everything, and it seems to make our lives easier, plannable, to understand it better. At first glance, it looks so; if we ponder deeper, there are more question marks.

Stay curious and follow your intuition, my friend!

What is the activity you can’t almost imagine living without? What are you driven for? What makes you alive? What are you suffering for that makes you feel better?

For me, those four activities are definitely the ones that bring my heartbeat on a complete other level:

  • Running
  • Hiking
  • Cross-country skiing
  • Swimming

These four passions are priceless. Give it all!

Anticipation is one of the most beautiful feelings. Why? Because we are excited about what lies ahead. For me, it’s Africa now, South Africa, to be precise. It will be my first time in the southern part of the African continent.

I’ll keep you updated about my next adventure! Stay curious!

Have you ever eaten a 10-course evening meal that lasts over four hours? If not, you should take the time and try. It’s an experience you will never forget, and it’s on a whole other level to eat the same amount of calories in 4 hours or 30 minutes. Your senses are fully awake to what you eat.

You maybe not have to block four hours, but at least 1,5 hours, and try it out. It will have a fantastic effect on your senses and digestion.

Enjoy!

Everything in life is balanced; we can see this impressively on our bodies. If we do not feel well or have pain, this is a sign that the body is looking for balance. Listen to your body is one of the most important gifts we possess. Therefore, listen to your body!

Our sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is best known for responding to dangerous or stressful situations. In these situations, our sympathetic nervous system activates to speed up the heart rate, deliver more blood to areas of our body that need more oxygen or other responses to help us get out of danger.

The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) predominates in quiet “rest and digest” conditions , while the sympathetic nervous system drives the “fight or flight” response in stressful situations. The primary purpose of the PNS is to conserve energy to be used later and to regulate bodily functions like digestion and urination.

Together with the enteric nervous system, they belong to the autonomic nervous system (ANS), formerlythe vegetative nervous system (see Wikipedia).

The two counterparts complement each other. It’s like in life; it’s not to compete; it’s to complete each other. I hope this helps you!

The most beautiful thing about life is that what you intend to do and become will happen sooner or later. Hold on to your dreams. Your strong belief will be fulfilled. Have faith!

“The term refers to thinking about one’s thinking. More precisely, it refers to the processes used to plan, monitor, and assess one’s understanding and performance.”

Awareness of what we think throughout the day is fascinating. According to different studies, the average number of thoughts we have is about 60’000 – crazy. From a personal experience, I often remember only a tiny fraction of what I thought the whole day, especially outside in movement. I’m unsure if it benefits us to know what we think all day. No matter how many we have, remembering the beautiful ones sounds good.

When I do sports in nature, I always go without headphones. Why? Because there are too many other exciting sounds to listen to. That’s my philosophy, and I am sticking to it.

Moving our body from point A to point B in a new place is often a fantastic experience, not only as a unique experience, but also from a thinking standpoint. Our thoughts often wander from the future to the present to the past and back. Sometimes, thoughts can take us to a different place than where we are. Isn’t that fascinating?
