Tips for Finding Peace in a Globalized World

Keeping up with the constant stream of news can feel overwhelming. Stories of war, climate change, and economic crises dominate the headlines, leaving many with a sense of helplessness and worry. But how can we learn to navigate these concerns in an already hectic daily life?

From Abstract Problems to Tangible Solutions

Many of today’s anxieties are products of our modern lifestyle. While past generations focused on surviving from day to day, we are now faced with complex global challenges that can seem insurmountable. To regain a sense of control, it’s essential to take small, tangible steps.

Limit the Flow of Information

One of the simplest actions you can take is to reduce the amount of information you consume. Select a few trustworthy news sources and avoid checking updates constantly. This practice can create a calmer daily rhythm and free up mental space for other thoughts.

Focus on What You Can Control

Many worries stem from things beyond our personal control. Instead of allowing these concerns to dominate, shift your focus to meaningful actions within your sphere of influence. Supporting local initiatives, engaging in volunteer work, or making small, positive lifestyle changes can all make a difference. If you have the resources, consider donating to organizations addressing the global issues that trouble you most.

Create Mental Breathing Space

When your stress levels rise, so does the frequency of worries and overthinking. Make space in your day for activities that allow for rest and recharge. You know best what helps you feel re-energized—common examples include regular exercise, time in nature, or connecting with loved ones. Prioritizing activities that cultivate gratitude and well-being can help balance the weight of your concerns.
It’s easy to get caught up in wondering what the future holds. But many aspects of life remain out of our control. By focusing on what brings you joy and meaning in the present, you can strike a balance between taking responsibility for the future and savoring the here and now.

We’ve Never Had It Better

Though it might be hard to believe when watching the news, we live in a time of remarkable progress. Advancements in healthcare, technology, and social reforms have significantly improved quality of life for many. Looking back through history, humanity has never experienced such high average life expectancy, low child mortality rates, or broad access to education and healthcare. Diseases like smallpox, once deadly and widespread, have been eradicated, and extreme global poverty has dropped dramatically over the past century. Remembering this can offer a more optimistic perspective when worries become overwhelming.

Summary

As history unfolds, we find ourselves grappling with complex global challenges that leave many feeling powerless, worried, and frustrated. If you’re experiencing these emotions, remind yourself that it’s natural to feel overwhelmed by these issues—they are far more than the human brain was designed to handle. It’s no surprise that this can lead to both healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Whether you choose to actively engage with the challenges that matter to you or take a more passive role, remember to safeguard your inner balance. No one benefits from a light that burns so brightly it burns out in moments. Sustainable living is about the long-term impact of continuous effort—and that requires paying attention to your inner balance and prioritizing activities that recharge you.

Well-being analysis

Get an in-depth insight into departmental wellbeing and a data-based action plan.

The wellbeing analysis gives you as a manager concrete, relevant, and anonymized feedback on your employees’ stress levels and body awareness. The analysis reveals how specific levels of pressure are distributed across the department, identifies development points, and offers recommended actions to improve wellbeing.

Process and content

All employees fill out a short questionnaire about stress and body awareness, which takes about 6 minutes. The questionnaire is completed immediately before the workshop and again a month later, giving a clear picture of the department's development over time. There is an option to add specific questions that are particularly relevant to your situation.

For the manager

You receive an anonymized report with insights into employee stress levels and body awareness, including distribution of the different levels of pressure, identified development areas, and concrete recommendations for future actions.

For employees

Each employee receives personalized feedback based on their responses. This provides an individual insight into their own stress and body awareness and their development over time.

Integrated with workshops

If the Wellbeing Analysis is purchased together with a workshop, the report will include themes from the workshop. After the report is completed, we offer 30 minutes of online dialogue where the manager receives guidance on the content of the report and possible future actions.

Thank you for your order!
