Hard to believe, but according to the calendar, the second week of May is already ahead of us. We share here what thoughts we would like to take with us this week from May 10th to 16th.
Yes, yes, thoughts are not everything. We cannot cure illness or relieve pain with our thoughts. But they have a little influence on our lives, especially on our mood and our feelings. We will take the following thoughts with us into the new week – as a mood lightener for in between, encouragement and reminder not to be too dogged with us. Maybe they’ll work for you too.
Our favorite thoughts of the week from May 10th to 16th
Thursday is Ascension Day
Yay! At least one public holiday that won’t let us down this year. Why can’t 1st May, 3rd October, 31st October, 1st November and Christmas not even take an example of Ascension? Well, nothing to complain about. Let’s just look forward to this wonderful break on Thursday – already thought about what to have for breakfast …?
The twelve most beautiful weeks of the year lie ahead of us
At least in northern Germany, the last week has admittedly been more reminiscent of winter than summer in terms of weather. But didn’t the fact alone that it got light at 5:30 a.m. and didn’t get dark again until 9 p.m. helped somehow? For example getting out of bed? Sunshine or not, we are in the middle of the most beautiful time of the year. It’s bright, everything is blooming, you have to be careful when jogging on the Hamburg Outer Alster that you don’t stumble over goslings. And in line with this, the incidence values are falling almost everywhere in this country, while more and more people who want to can be vaccinated and those who have been completely vaccinated have already regained their freedom. Yippie!
If we were perfect, no one would like us
It’s funny: Most of the time we struggle with our weaknesses and mistakes, try to hide them, to get used to them, not to even have them or to make them. As a rule, nobody resents them, on the contrary: “With your mistakes you open up the other to you,” Inka Bause told us recently in an interview and is so right about it. Isn’t it somehow relieving and liberating when we see that things don’t always run smoothly with others, and others aren’t perfect either? The others are just like us. Errors and weaknesses offer identification potential because they are simply human and we all have them. Why should we prepare ourselves for our inadequacies when others love to forgive us and, in principle, even like us for them? The sympathy of our fellow human beings is worth more than perfection in most everyday situations anyway. So: let’s finally whistle on our ole functioning and rather allow ourselves to live!
