CHECK Magazin - Gesundheitsmagazin für Männer No.12
Wenn wir, nicht erst seit gestern, von Ressourcen sparen reden, fällt oft die am nächsten liegende Ressource unter den Tisch: der Mensch. Auch wir sind nicht unerschöpflich belastbar, auch wir haben Grenzen. Mit dieser Ausgabe wollen wir uns daher ein bisschen befreien: Von Keimen, negativen Gedanken, dem Gefühl, nicht gehört zu werden, unnötigem Körperfett, Nahrung, die uns gestresster und ängstlicher macht, Krankheitsrisiken oder auch Scham.

MENTAL<br />
WELLNESS<br />
We now know that looking after<br />
your mental health is not that easy.<br />
And there is usually not<br />
enough time or money for a proper<br />
wellness treatment. So here are four<br />
<strong>CHECK</strong> MAG- Life-Hacks to help<br />
pamper the mind and boost the soul.<br />
(TS,MB)<br />
Try new recipes<br />
You always cook the same thing and it tastes<br />
good too. That’s great! But there comes a moment<br />
for everyone to try something new.<br />
Do you love cannelloni because they make you<br />
happy? Then why wait to enjoy them at the local<br />
Italian? Find a recipe you like online and go<br />
for it. You may not get it right the first time, but<br />
hey that’s life sometimes. So do it again. And again.<br />
And until you figure it out.<br />
Not only will you be able to prepare your<br />
favourite dish perfectly yourself in just a few<br />
months, you will have also really achieved<br />
something to be proud of.<br />
Discover new ways<br />
Oh, the tree still has no leaves and has not grown at<br />
all! When you see the same places and things over<br />
and over again, everything quickly becomes dull and<br />
monotonous. You don’t need to travel the world to<br />
escape these depression traps – although it’s definitely<br />
worth it. Find new green spaces in your city or go<br />
left where you usually go right. Keep your eyes open<br />
and don’t focus on the goal, but on the journey. You<br />
might find a new clothing store or a nice coffee shop<br />
that you didn’t know about. An old fountain that you<br />
have never seen before or a beautiful clearing in the<br />
city forest. Being able to see life in a new way is also a<br />
great deal of freedom.<br />
Listen to someone<br />
else’s playlists<br />
Sure: we all have our sounds that we love. But try<br />
to hear something that other people love or suggest<br />
to you. The streaming services all have an option to<br />
follow artists or friends. Discover new music that<br />
puts you in a different mood. The auditory view of<br />
the bigger picture takes your mind off things and<br />
activates new nerve cells. There are a thousand<br />
songs for every crisis.<br />
Touch yourself<br />
You’d rather not do that in public and preferably<br />
in places that you otherwise pay less attention to.<br />
Massage your own feet or temples, caress your<br />
perineum or earlobes.<br />
The one relationship you really should always work on<br />
is with yourself. Your body loves you. And even if it is<br />
sometimes really hard on you and can hurt like hell, it<br />
will gratefully return this tenderness with happiness<br />
and cuddle hormones.<br />
