«Forest bathing. It sounds silly and people make a fuss about it. But it works! You go into the forest for at least half an hour, in an area as quiet as possible. Smartphone and earbuds in your pocket, you try to perceive nature with all your senses. Since this is not always possible in everyday life, I recommend the pine schnitzel as a complement (can be ordered online). They smell so good that you can always take a short detour into the forest from the comfort of your office chair. “

«I am most relaxed (and prefer) at home with a good book. There is nothing better than reading on the balcony when the weather is nice! One of my favorite quotes from Cornelia Funk also fits this point: “Nothing scares away nightmares faster than the rustle of printed paper.” This may also be related to stress. “

“I can relax very well in the mountains, especially where there are no cable cars or roads crossing my path. The further away from civilization the better. The phone is stored in the backpack and there are no distractions except the wonders of nature. Looking from above, I always realize how small and insignificant many things that seem big and important in daily life are. If there is no time for time-consuming travel, swimming in the Aare river is not bad. It washes away all kinds of emotions. , brings peace even in winter.”

“The most stress-relieving thing for me is going for a walk with my dog, preferably in the forest. Especially in the fall when the leaves are so colorful… well, really, any weather is good for a walk, even if it's a little drizzle.”

«Crocheting is the best way to relax. Stitch by stitch, your heart rate will drop until you've stoically crocheted a few rows and entered a full flow experience. You have to count your stitches every now and then, it keeps your brain cells healthy and also makes for great homemade Christmas gifts. “

  • Mix beats on your laptop and get into a trance
  • Watching too many YouTube videos of Rosie Maio or The Great British Bake Off.
  • Drive to Mount Rigi and go to the spa there
  • Take a boat trip on Lake Lucerne and sail on the water for a few hours and enjoy nature
