Currently many things are crossing my mind. A lot of things are happening which I never considered possible before. Everything started at my occupational therapy. To my mind I have the best occupational therapist you can ever imagine. Approximately four weeks ago she brought a book and some cards with her. I hope it does not sound too presumptuous but
I only know the Jojo-Effekt from magazines dealing with diets (fortunately I did not need one so far). At first, they say, the achievements of weight reduction are quick and motivating. But then follows the lean period. The progress in loosing weight slows down noticeably. Whoever does not posses enough power of endurance or does not believe in oneself might
Today I go into the thick of things and dedicate myself to a particular difficult chapter on the way to love for myself: the inner critic. This awkward condition, that is how I want to call it here, is labelled in psychology as one kind of Ego-State. The persistence of the inner critic can be symbolized by a Donald Trump

Being interviewed Marty delivers a pleading
A podcast I listened to recently was thought-provoking to me; the result is a research. It is about what friendship really means and what the different variants of it are. The topic attracts special notice in times of Corona, because friendship has never been more important than now. And still the assumption is self-evident that not all friends are alike
This year started with a royal drumbeat: The Sussexes step back from their royal titles. The royal scandal had its kick-off one week ago when a post on instagram by Meghan and Harry announced that they intend to reduce their service for the crown and will live in Canada and Great Britain in the future.

Tom Ford directed an absolute masterpiece of art – in case you are open to its message: “Don’t throw people away. We live in a culture where we throw everything away. If you have someone important, someone you love, don’t throw them away, don’t let them go. Make choices very carefully in your life.” We are talking about his second
During an organized walk in the course of the exhibition: “October 15th – the destruction of Brunswick” we learn how desastrous the bombing of the city in October 1944 really was. We visit places that have been destroyed and get to know facts on the impact of the destruction on people and the city.
