For an authentic, holistic life we need to look at our profession as well. I saw so many employees who started super-motivated into a new job. Full of individual energy. But especially in the big companies the thirst for action vanishes quite fast. People become another cog in the wheel of the business world. Thinking outside the box is highly desired but our environment suppress it at its best – ironically.
Instead it becomes normality to have a growing workload and an increasing time pressure. It is widespread that many of us cannot switch off after work, evolve sleep problems and feel resistance getting out of bed. We agonize when our mind sticks to the work even on weekends. To handle this situation we try to reject our feelings, suppress or resist them until our body shows clear signs or stops us due illness.
