"She now makes a break and has the Füße hochgelegt", Sylvia Wetzel Sekretä says;rin on the phone. When höyou rt a sentence? On a Wednesday morning! Not every valuable member of society gefäto work it around, productive, and natürto be accessible?
Who does not participate in, the surrounding immediately a hint of Rebellion. And anyone who tries it nonetheless, it is womöresembled of Schuldgefümiss plagued. Now, take a break, do nothing or something Schönes, because my Köbody and my soul need it? Should I not? MüI not to suggest? What köcould the others be thinking?
The Bedürfnis to pursue peace
Sylvia Wetzel gehört to the people who have brought such critical voices in itself to Silence. The meditation teacher teaches stressed-out women and Mämen, relaxation, writes darüber, how important is the purpose of free time. And you are not preaching only Muße, she lives it.
E-Mails are answered once a week, your phone turns on only twice a day, and if it has just passed an intensive course – so now –, makes you more easy to be stubborn. You go to your Bedürfnis to rest after. "Muße is the best protection against Burn-out", Sylvia Wetzel says.
How’s it to me?
The old-fashioned-sounding term "Muße" says be more as a leisure and Lazy. Everyone defines it a bit differently – but in the end, the idea of a time, a space that is free of any Mü remains;. No LeisTung pressure, no time pressure. Be easy.
Maybe look out the window, üabout self-reflection, üabout life. Ask yourself: How am I doing? Maybe something to do with the pleasure. Sing, read, play cards. Maybe paint a picture or a Vase töpfern.
Kreativität from the boredom
Perhaps boredom sets in. Maybe schießt a but also plöin addition, the Lösung für is a complicated issue in the head or a new idea. Muße brings us to thoughts that the horizon of our alltäaligned with To-do lists ücrossing. We füselect us as a whole person, off-duty, efficiency, and role.
But above all, Muß can;e is also a bulwark against the negative effects of Stress. We are under tension, is enabled in our autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic nervous system. He puts us in stäthe full alert. The heart schlägt faster, the digestive system works slower.
Work animals to listen
We relax, we get into the parasympathetic mode. Heart rate and blood pressure to fall, the digestion is gaining momentum, we regenerate. "Who mode always remains in the sympathetic nervous system-that ruined his Gesundheit", Wetzel says. This Argument wüauthorities in their courses, the größten work animals, and the most stubborn break-objectors sit up and take notice.
Üconviction work für Muße, that was many centuries üin General it is not necessary. "Until modern times, was Muße grundsäin addition höhere regarded as a Arbeit", the German scholar and philosopher Manfred Koch says. In ancient times, such work was to ernälisten to and üsurvival, just a little für slaves. Even the Häthe beaches are dirty? The nothing was für respected Bütrouble. Still, it was Muße Trägheit, but rather a schöcreative space für höhere things – Küarts, sports, politics, philosophy. Socrates wrote: "Muße is the schöarts of possession of all."
Klöster füdo you have to clock in a
With the advent of Christianity the work has been enhanced. Jesus Christ, even to an unemployed person on the way to a deeper insight, calls his JüViking is still on, ausschließon geistto focus questions. But then there are the Klöster, in the middle ages, strictly in accordance with the at metered life einfüdo – the Basis of our modern work discipline.
The Reformation brings in 1517, the turning point: Martin Luther condemns the Müßiggang "as of all vices Anfang". He wants to ban holidays and beggars distribute. The Calvinism verstäthe Anti-rkt-Muße-trend. "The thought of Überbietung, performance, and competition wins in order to Bedeutung", Koch says. Around 1800 contact Fleiß and the economy as a Kardinaltugenden. Für the Industrial of capitalisation it takes a brave factory Employees, the firm Stundenpläne meet and möas possible never missing.
Longing for Müßiggang

"O Müßiggang, Müßiggang! You are the life air of innocence, and the Begeisterung", Friedrich Schlegel writes. Joseph von Eichendorffs berüsurroundings full of "Taugenichts" pulls out a guitar through the forest and sings songs.

Jogging increases the Reputation
Meanwhile, performance and Produktivitä is;t so much value, that it is the Individual schwerfällt, this System &ndash out; and it was only für a few hours. It takes courage to put down the phone or to make a beach holiday without Sightseeing, and sports.
"Our society rewards Aktivität. If I every day go for a jog, and increases my Reputation. This doesn’t happen if I’m every day in the bath lege", erklärt Karlheinz Geißler, Wirtschaftspädagoge and time, researchers from MüMunich. The stäconstantly peeping Smartphone is a zuverläthe gymnasium Muße-preventer. "We have no breaks, no slowness, no intermediate times, one thing löthe other directly ab", says Geißler. The selbstverständentitled to Muße it no more, give today, also says Medistation teacher Wetzel.
The Stress with the relaxation
Sometimes the Muß is in our modern lives, even;e yourself for further requirement. "The people make a meditation class after work, so you &ndash cope with the Stress at work better; but consider the course only as a further Tätransparency, the checked be muss", the Ethno­ says;Lodge Gregor Dobler.
He is in Freiburg, in the special research area Muße tätig and wants to he­ with his colleagues;find out: Bring the many offers to relaxation and slowing down the participants to be really something? Or is this merely a Symptom of für the current Muße deficiency?
No Muße in the Großraumbüro
Often, the work consumes so much time that für Muße remains hardly anything. We want to See money, security,. Dafür we stuck in the hamster wheel. If you want more time and freedom, you have a Stück safety to give up.

At work find your own rhythm
This sensation is für researchers Dobler Central. "More Muße at the Work can Stress more effectively bekäfight as the search Muße in the REC." But how does that work? Important dafür is, the work process selbststäfully in the rhythm of its own making, and afterwards üa result happy to köcan.
In the Berufsrealität mümany people left instead kleinteilige, repetitive work ausfülisten to and hä be still;often used by newly arriving E-Mails and Calls &ndash interrupted; to which you immediately want to respond.
Tips for slowing down
Nevertheless, We köcan even a lot of für sufficient Muße do. Sylvia Wetzel, for example, rät to Täactivities, for which it makes little sense to accelerate. About with friends in the Sauna, meet in the choir Spaziergä sing, ;length without a specific goal. The meditation instructor yourself immersed in other worlds, engrossed in novels.
And where did the time fü take;r all of these relaxing things? Scientists Geißler is recommended: "Überyou put in a criterion dafür, when you have enough money. Your Life time is limited."
