and answer the following questions:
Estimate how many items you have.
Which 20 things do you need daily? What did they cost?
Which 5 things do you need only once a month? What did these cost?
Which 5 things do you need only once a year? What did these cost?
What 5 things do you really depend on? For what reason?
What 5 possessions do you care most about and are afraid of losing them?
What possessions do you satisfy, make you content?
What do you estimate: what percentage of your property could you do without?
What does your feeling say
In a further step, simply ask yourself the following questions:
How are you when you consciously deal with the things you surround yourself with that you need?
Do you feel feelings of want because you do not have some things?
Does it motivate you to muck out?
Do you remember some of these things from past times?
Does it stress you when you think about moving with all these things?
When does ownership make you happy?
There are interesting studies on ownership. It makes you happy to deal with things that you don't have yet but would like to own soon. Anticipation and buying trigger the “kick”, less ownership in and of itself.
Maybe you too will like many: The joy of ownership usually disappears after a few months. Also, ownership only seems to make happy to a degree.
Like Hans in luck
Those who have about twice as much as the population average feel happier than the average. With more possession falls the happiness curve again: Super rich are not automatically super-happy.
And some biographies, studies show, attest to the fairy tale about “Hans im Glück”. Only when you are no longer attached to your possessions do you feel free.
How decommissioning improves the quality of life
Dei is not just about tidying up: it's about illusions, supposed guarantees, insights, life here and now - and again and again about quality of life and self-responsibility.
Always be aware: your thoughts and feelings also affect your physical condition. And at the same time, your physical condition influences your thoughts!
Power free?
Like the billionaire who has given away everything from his own free will, and now feels happier and more free in his only 25 square meter mountain hut than with glider, luxury villa and great fortune. Matching words: "Wealthy is the one who can do what he wants."
Pure table with the possession
Could it be that you, too, have amassed “garbage” that prevents you from feeling happier and freer? Could it be that more quality with less quantity could make your life easier?
It is exciting to look beyond our cultural horizon: How much does a person really need to be happy and satisfied? The time of “cleaning up” begins. Now! "Take out the trash!" can make life easier, reduce complexity and stress.
Less or more?
By the way: According to a study by the Gesellschaft für Konsumforschung, the consumer confidence index of the Germans is at a record high!
While the few have too little, storage spaces are now booming to take possession - the joy of shopping, even more possessions, nothing stands in the way. Assuming the credit card is still covered.
6 Tips for the pure table
1 What do not you want to hear anymore?
2 What have you looked at long enough?
3 What is hard in your stomach?
4 What "stinks" to you?
5 What is a thorn in your eye?
6 What must finally get away?
Dream job or vocation? Fortunately, three components
// By Guido Ernst Hannig
For many people, the word “calling” is a very powerful word. You are thinking of high demands that have to be fulfilled by the person called. But is the vocation really only granted to spiritual figures like Einstein or those called Buddha?
Everyone has a vocation
Is the intuitive mind not a gift, a seventh sense, which can be observed in kindergartens and sports grounds? It can only remain with faith. As is well known, we can not prove anything in this field scientifically.
But every person has a given calling that you do not have to earn. By the way, it does not have to be found or created. She has always been and will stay. We can only recognize, accept, and henceforth be happy with her.
When the soul dances
When we come into contact with things, people, and events that make our souls dance, we can be certain that our very own vocation is not far.
Therefore, the WLS Sense Compass will be about generating honest emotions and gaining access to your joy. Only then can the rational mind, the tool so meaningful for us, do the tasks ahead.
The birth of the professions
He is also spirit, because to him belong our spiritual faculties. This results in all the practical advances that have made the professional functions and previous qualifications possible.
With the help of spiritual abilities, man has developed skills and knowledge to perform life-critical tasks. Only the conscious division of tasks led to the birth of professions.
Profession and vocation belong together
So the profession is the servant of the vocation. A profession, an academic degree or even a doctorate is acquired if the skills are sufficient and the environment offers the opportunities.
What the rational mind is able to afford determines the quality of professional qualifications. The faith in the calling does not want to change this either.
Work holistically
Civilized societies, however, have reversed the value of the intuitive and the rational mind for too long. The professional has forgotten what he is working for and who he really is. The occupation as part of the economy became decisive for every form of society.
Whether you grew up in a democratically shaped Western industrialist or a rather socialist economy, whether you were educated by strictly religious or rather liberal-minded people: the rational mind often won the upper hand, and the consequences can be found in the tremendous professional and personal crises.
Does your job meet your needs?
But if we strive for a happy and ethically responsible professional life, we must make the question of vocation a cardinal question. And there are three questions:
1 Is the activity of fulfilling your needs?
2 Do
