A healthy mind needs a healthy body and only a healthy mind can experience true happiness. My conclusion is that you need to watch you body and keep it healthy to live a happy life. Unfortunately we don’t recognize until it is almost too late that we are treating our body bad. I tried to some up some of the most important aspects to watch.
– sleep
– body strength
– body flexibility
– nutrition
If you are interested in learning more about that, have a look at the podcast of Shawn Stevenson or my Webinar. See below. Until then, enjoy and stay healthy.

When you thinks about living a happy life, it makes sense to think about what brings value and joy to your life and what doesn’t. Do more and get more of what does and get rid of what does not. That is the simple underlying message of simplicity. Keep it simple and focused on what matters most. Your mind, your stuff your life.
In this episode I give you a very brief overview on 10 simple rules that can help to declutter and focus on the the things you love.

This is the first episode of the podcast that doesn’t deal with the story of me but gives some real advice. I start with the tool that caused the initial change in my life that keeps changing to the better ever since. It is called the ReissProfile and deals with basic desires of human psychology.
I am introducing the tool and give you an overview, about the 16 desires so that you might get a first feeling about them and may already be able to find out which is most dominant in your life, so you can understand yourself better and get a first idea how different others might feel in the very same situation, which can dramatically change your communication with them.

After living a lifestyle that really seems to fit the story continues in East-Africa. Having seen the African wildlife and places of my childhood dreams was not enough. I stumbled upon a lifetime chance while sailing on the Indian Ocean. I went for it, enjoyed my first full summer in the swiss mountains, dealt with individual tragedies, learned a lesson about the important things in life and continued to view life positive.
I also explain the story of why this podcast is recorded in Zanzibar.

Having moved to Switzerland my story continues with an adventurous trip to Sahara and East Africa, which was going to have a huge impact on my future. 
I learned that it is easy to lose the positive focus no matter how positive your life may look to the outside. Once again it shows, that it is not important what happens to you, but you think of it. Look at the bright side of life. That concept proved to be true in drowning Sahara as well.
I also experienced that it’s sometimes better to know the direction you are heading than having a goal itself. You might end up finding some wonderful places.

Having experienced so many things I loved in 2013 I wanted more of it in 2014. Together with Judy we took the crazy decision to move out and hit the road with our 1971 Mercedes Bus called Emma. Eventually we kept on traveling for eight month and ended up in the Golden Village in Switzerland. In between we had seen some of the most beautiful places ever and learned some lessons for life.Having moved to Switzerland my story continues with an adventurous trip to Sahara and East Africa, which was going to have a huge impact on my future.

I leave the desert village M’Hamid EL Ghizlane to be on my own in the middle of that giant dust bowl one day later. Instead of being afraid I am at peace with myself. While doing the adventure of my life I realize that all I do is not so special after all. I loose my fear but have to discover other limits to my journey and stumble yet into another adventure.

On my personal route to happiness, I had to travel some stoney roads. Today I am talking about how a failure could turn out to become the biggest adventure.
Life taught me, that is is not about what happens to you, but what you make of it.
I ended up, sitting on the roof of a truck for two weeks, saw more than I could have imagined and found enough time to think.

Back in Berlin I had to fit in again. That didn’t work out and I started questioning it all. I was searching for something else than the normal routine and came to the conclusion that I had to do it my way. Sometimes frustration can lead to the most powerful changes, if you are able to look at it from the bright of life.

This second Episode is about the first part of finding myself. Have I always been happy? No! Did I always do it my way? No! Did I even know what I wanted to do 10 years ago? Once again NO!
I am giving you an overview, on decisions I took that didn’t make me happier back then and what happened that helped me start changing my life? What led to the change and when did I take the decision to go on the adventure of my life?
