Yesterday I started writing about stress at the workplace. The interesting thing is that many people have a lot of stress even in their free time.
A friend of mine told me how stressful especially their holidays are. What should be a relaxing skiing vacation can then turn out in a super-stressful stay with each minute being planned for some kind of activity. You have to take courses, you have to achieve something, you have to learn and of course you have to be on time. You have pressure of performing well although it is just something that you would like to do for fun. Just simply for enjoying.
Especially mothers often complain about it that a holiday is not much of a holiday for them because they need to see that everything is perfect, that every child and the husband has all clothes and everything else they need.
For all these situations, if it is the courses and the tight holiday-schedule or the perfect mother, I would like to say, leave all these things at home for the next holiday. Do not make a schedule and pack only a few things. Nothing has to be perfect and nothing has to be perfectly planned. Relax. You are not all the time responsible for everything and often it is only you who expects that. And you don’t need to achieve anything on your vacation except for enjoying. If you want to do a course, do it with fun. If you want to pack many useful things, do it because you enjoy it. But please never get stressed about it!
You might experience a surprise if you manage to relax: a holiday can be a wonderful time which will leave you with a whole lot of memories which are even more funny if things went a little bit different than planned.

Having stress during our holidays is like rain on the wedding day: nobody wants it. Sure, there are things we can't influence, they have their own flow. But I'm sure that a good organization (typically german) can sometimes help to avoid stress ;)

It is true! Everyone loves holidays, yet there is so much planning and organising that often the holiday is over before you even started enjoying and honestly you are glad to get back to normal life because you are used to the routine. Although it is great to take in sights and experience many things, the most important thing is not to overfill your schedule and allow plenty of time to just chill.

You know sometimes I get stressed because I don’t want to be ‘stressed’ and get conscious about the stress!

People often trust lies and that is why lies can exist at all. You always need to believe lies blindly because if you opened your eyes, you would regret.
SourceNobody in the world can tell the future.
SourceIf you did a mistake, the first part of the solution is already that you realize it and then accept it. Don't try to find an excuse but turn around and walk the other way. Simply, honestly accept that you made a mistake and for the future commit to live an honest life which doesn’t cause pain for others and later for yourself.
SourceThere are some things that are stable through all changes of life and your love is one of them.
SourceBreaking a relation nearly always means a great loss but hardly ever an achievement.
SourceThere are places in this world where women are sold because religion says they are just like objects that a man possesses. Is religion really something you want to believe in?
SourceReligions tell women that they have to cover their heads and even faces with a veil or a burqa because men could get aroused by seeing their faces and imagining a vagina.
SourceDon’t leave anybody for too long, otherwise they get used to living without you.
SourceWe are one world and all are humans, not divided by race, colour, language, culture or religion. Keep in mind that we all are human.
SourceI love smiling and have the habit of laughing :)
SourceYour decision of not feeling guilty also shows your forgiveness. When you are feeling guilty it means you cannot forgive yourself. Accept your mistake, say sorry and leave the guilt.
SourceA love relation may only extend for a moment when your eyes meet and share a connection. A split second of realizing that you and the other one share this world. Nothing more.
SourceMany times relationships fail because there is no physical closeness. A relationship doesn’t work over phone or over internet. A lot of people try but our human nature is that you need someone close to you for a real connection.
SourceSoul, energy, love, essence, prana and god are synonyms for me.
SourceAs a guru, you can be very respected and holy one day but the next day you can be a nobody. It can happen quickly and for no reason at all. It does not take any time for the respect and love of followers to vanish.
SourceMany sportspeople make themselves dependent on a psychological illusion. It is the right seat in the bus due to which they win, not their talent. It is the lucky glove which had them catch the ball, not their good eyes and training to stand at the right spot!
SourceIt is your awareness of the moments. When you are hurrying, you are just focused on what you are doing, to do it as quick as possible and the moments go by without you noticing them. When you are waiting, you are really aware of each moment, you feel each moment, each breath that you take. Both ways can be meditation.
SourceIf you know that something is impossible but you still believe, you either want to close your eyes from reality or you are stupid. You will keep on cheating yourself and others - or will end up disappointed!
SourceDiscipline is very important in our nutrition. Eat when you are hungry. Hunger can be in the eyes and in the mind, too, not only in your belly. Learn to distinguish that.
SourceReligion tells you that you are allowed to laugh and cry, to feel hungry and thirsty but not to feel horny. Is this not a natural feeling? How can you live normally and naturally while being disrespectful to one of the most natural feelings in this world? Celibacy is the most unnatural concept that you can think of.
