Thoughts of the day - Gedanken des Tages

in life •  7 years ago 

Why do we always have to stress ourselves? Why is it so important for us to be the best, the fastest, the most impressive person around? Especially in our work environment we always tend to prove ourselves every single minute...

Is it really necessary that we live such a stressful life? Wouldn´t it be good enough to give our best at a normal pace, in which we are still able to enjoy ourselves and our surrounding? I mean today so many people claim that they go to work in the morning, get home in the evening and actually didn´t enjoy a single minute of the day...



Wieso müssen wir uns im Alltag immer selbst so einen Stress bereiten? Wieso ist es für uns so wichtig, immer der/die Beste, Schnellste oder die Beeindruckendste Person im Raum zu sein? Vor allem bei der Arbeit tendieren wir dazu, uns in jeder einzelnen Minute beweisen zu wollen...

Ist es wirklich notwendig, dass wir unser Leben so stressig gestalten? Würde es nicht ausreichen einfach unser bestes zu geben, in einem Tempo, dass uns passt und bei dem wir uns und unsere Umwelt genießen können? Ich meine heutzutage beschwert sich doch jeder zweite, dass man morgens aus dem Haus geht, abends von der Arbeit heim kommt und einfach überhaupt nichts vom Tag hatte...

Couldn´t we rather slow down and enjoy the small moments of life again?
Maybe just get together with friends for a coffee or tea?



Könnten wir nicht einfach ein paar Gänge runterschalten und wieder die kleinen Dinge des Lebens genießen? Eventuell bei einer gemütlichen Tasse Tee oder Kaffee?

Haha, thanks :D

Worst about this is the fact many don't even have time to think and understand why they are trapped like that...

In my opinion everyone has time for him- or herself, whenever you are brave enough to actually face the truth and honestly think about your life... But of course it's easier to float with all the others in the crowd rather than going the other direction

Good one! Thats why I think everyone should make it like Sweden and reduce the maximum allowed hours of work to about 30 hours a week. Working to many hours a day doesn't add anything to one's actual productivity..

Finally someone who shares my opinion on the skandinavian work life balance 😊 I'm totally thinking the same as you will actually even work more in 30 hours as you do in 40. You are just happier and more motivated to do something. It's definitely the future (hopefully 😂)

quite possible!
