Easter - The Feast of the Easter Pigs

Lent is over and we are once again giving in to the desires of our inner pig dog. Is Easter the new festival of the pig dogs? Indeed: At Easter, the pig dogs are especially happy because the exhausting resolutions of Lent are finally obsolete, and the cozy everyday life returns. Resolutions are the favorite food of our pig dogs, which is why New Year's remains its absolute favorite festival. In a way, Easter becomes the "Festival of the Pig Dogs": So much resolution food at once makes pig dog hearts beat faster, making Lent hardly stand a chance against it. Is there an optimal remedy against the inner pig dog? No, there isn't. You simply have to deal with it, tame it, and get it on board. And the good news is: It can succeed. The trick is to show the pig dog that implementing a resolution doesn't necessarily have to hurt, but can even be beneficial. Once he understands that, humans and pig dog pull together. It's better together, and with small steps, you'll reach your goal more surely. Once we have convinced our pig dog of the benefits of a resolution, he will realize on his own that he benefits from it. And since our pig dog is an ego pig, he loves to benefit. Another aspect that helps with Lenten resolutions is that they are time-limited - the inner pig dogs always see light at the end of the tunnel. So the advice is: Take your inner pig dog by the hand and involve him! How can one live more consciously during Lent? Breaking out of ingrained behaviors is often a difficult endeavor. And anyone who starts with the resolution: "Starting tomorrow, everything will be different" will surely fail. Formulate realistic and achievable goals. If you constantly have to force yourself, you're doing something wrong, so choose something that is good for you but also easy! For example, I keep a time planning book in which I note my long-term goals as well as my daily personal goals. However you do it, it's important to pause briefly and consciously remind yourself of what is good for you. Family gatherings like Easter are also occasions to become aware of our values again. But how can I motivate myself with values throughout the year? First, choose ten values that you want to implement over the next year. Prepare for the start with clear goal planning by reflecting on three of these values every morning and considering when and where you will implement them today. But please don't overdo it, because if you take on too much, the pig dog will be pleased. Why is it so important to live in harmony with your values to achieve peak performance? First, you need to be aware of what peak performance means for yourself. For everyone, personal peak performance is different, but the path to it is the same for all: Seek challenges within your abilities, push your limits, and challenge yourself without overwhelming yourself. Focus on your goal and stand behind it with your head and heart. It is very difficult to achieve a goal that we only pursue on a rational level. Only when the emotional level also gives a clear "yes" to it will we bring our full strength to achieve peak performance. Visit the profile of our Top100 Speaker Dr. Marco Freiherr von Münchhausen
