For an authentic life where work-life Balance is self-evident and has not to be defined we need to find back to the connection to ourselves. Often we do not know what we actually need or ignore the inner voice. This results in a fragmentation of our identity, which determines our external search for happiness, contentment and fulfillment.
Most of us are in the so-called escape mode, our nervous system is constantly tensed and unbalanced. Instead of living in the present our mind is planning our better and wonderful future. Or we are overthinking negative experiences in the past respectively we are clinging back onto pleasant situations. The prevailing disposition to desire to relive enjoyable experiences is understandable, but it is bizarre that we are more attached to our suffering than to our amusements. Circumstances of suffering, especially psychological ones, cause deep cuts in our psyche, drawing attention to themselves quite mechanically and frequently.
