Neurohacks for a real vacation: because real relaxation begins in the mind and not just on the beach.

Practice micro-breaks, even in everyday life

If you never get to rest in everyday life, you will have a hard time on vacation. Take short, conscious breaks throughout the day. Breathing for 30 seconds, looking at the greenery, letting your shoulders relax – help the nervous system to switch between tension and relaxation. Regeneration doesn’t just happen after two weeks, but in small doses, every day.

Park your thoughts instead of taking them with you

To-dos, ideas, worries: the brain loves open loops. If you want to keep everything in your head, take the whole agenda with you on vacation. Better: create a “thought parking lot” to store important things. This signals to the brain: I’ll deal with it later – now you can let go.

Focus on perception instead of evaluation

Instead of mentally commenting on “What am I doing today?”, it helps to simply perceive: the light, the sound of the waves, your own breath. Perception without judgment activates other networks in the brain and interrupts the constant brooding.

More clarity for your leadership journey

Understanding inner diversity

Our inner diversity is normal – it reflects our values, experiences and needs.

Clarity creates presence

This creates inner clarity, which manifests itself in an authentic and confident demeanor.

Self-leadership through inner clarity

Leadership begins with self-leadership: if you know your “inner team”, you can decide more consciously which voice speaks in which situation and who is particularly loud or quiet when.

Use tension instead of avoiding it

Especially in conflicts or complex situations, the model helps to use internal contradictions constructively.
