5 questions to reflect on each week

Question 1

How well can I concentrate on my goals this week? What steps can I take to be even more focused next week?

Question 2

What was particularly important to me last week? What could I do this week to better align myself with my values?

Question 3

What have I achieved this week? And why? What is the goal I need to achieve next week?

Question 4

Who played a decisive role this week? Why? Who should be the focus next week in order to strengthen my alignment with purpose, values and goals?

Question 5

What have I learnt this week? How could I incorporate what I have learnt into my practice next week?

Think. Pause. Amplify.

Purpose

Your purpose gives direction. It guides decisions and actions and gives meaning to experiences.

Values

There is often a gap between what we call values and what we actually live by. Congruence arises when values and actions move closer together again.

Achievements

Successes make progress visible. They nurture self-confidence, energy and a sense of effectiveness.

Relationships

Our relationships, both personal and professional, influence our well-being and opportunities more than we often realise.

Learning

Nature knows no middle ground. Everything moves towards growth or retreat. Development does not just happen – we decide to pursue it.

The 7 pillars of resilience

Optimism

does not mean, ‘Everything is fine.’ It means, ‘I choose what to focus on.’

Acceptance

does not mean giving up. It means: I am going to stop fighting reality.

Solution orientation

does not mean taking action for the sake of it. It means seeing the next possible step.

Self-efficacy

does not arise from motivation. It arises from small successes of one’s own.

Networking

is not a weakness. It is a human resource.

Being future-oriented

does not mean ‘planning’. It means regaining the ability to act.

Taking responsibility

does not mean looking for someone to blame. It means recognising my part in it and thereby regaining control.

Our remedies against the winter blues

Magdalena

“In winter, I consciously focus on nutrition: eating colorful fruits and vegetables every day helps me stay healthy and strong through the cold months. Or as I like to say: ‘An apple a day keeps the winter blues away.’ That way, my mood stays vibrant and colorful, too.”

Viktoria

“My recipe against winter fatigue: going for a run after work, doing yoga weekly, and consciously planning time for family and friends. This helps keep my daily life in balance despite many to-dos.”

Helga

“Movement + connection = pure energy for me! Once a week I do strength training with my workout sisters – and we talk about everything that’s important or completely unimportant. This mix of physical activity and shared laughter is my absolute energy booster.”

Sebastian

“For me, exercise is the most important balance — especially in autumn and winter. Four to five workouts per week, whether running or strength training, keep me physically fit and help me clear my mind. In addition, regular conversations with family and friends give me extra energy.”

Flora

“My daily routine is doing yoga in the morning combined with listening to positive affirmations — it gives me a mindful and calm start to the day. In addition, every Sunday I write myself a weekly plan with all to-dos and appointments so I can start the new week with clarity and structure.”

Viktor Frankl

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space lies our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
