  BURNOUT in einer Metropole? Nicht unbedingt!

  5 TIPS FOR AVOIDING BURNOUT IN TOKYO (by Dylan Robertson)
  
  1. Less is More.
  Weniger ist mehr... Immer!
  
  If you are tired every week, maturely accept the fact that you need to slow down and simplify your life. You’re not serving anybody by being stale, droning, boring, with no smile or energy.
  
  2. Leave Early for Appointments...
  Gute Zeitmanagement... Beginne Dir selbst immer mehr Zeit zu schenken.
  
  When you are in a hurry to get somewhere or get something done, Tokyo has this magical way of throwing everything it has at you to slow you down – delayed trains, dense crowds, phone calls, emails, etc. And, in your rush, you’ll likely forget to bring something important. More than once I’ve see yoga instructors teach a class in their jeans because they forgot to bring their yoga wear! You can find the optimum train route using Jorudan’s Train Route Finder in English.
  
  3. Get Help.
  Lass Dir helfen... Du bist nie allein.
  
  Stop trying to do everything by yourself. Focus on your strengths and give the rest to others. Look into housekeeping services. Hire an accountant to take care of the your finances. If it’s not your strong point and you don’t enjoy doing it, then outsource it.
  
  4. Say “No”.
  Jawohl! Ich kann auch "NEIN" sagen...
  Und zwar immer, wenn? Gute Frage...
  
  You can’t be and do everything for everyone all the time. Slow down and simplify your schedule. Nobody wants to spend time around you if you are tired and stressed. So, you’re actually doing a favor to yourself and to others by only showing up when you’re at your best.
  
  5. Don’t Compromise on Your Yoga Practice.
  Meine alltägliche Praxis: Yoga, Achtsamkeit, Meditation! Also nichts Neues:-)
  
  If you don’t have time for a minimum of 30 minutes of quality self practice every day, then you are too busy and need to find ways to slow down and do less. Stop multitasking and practice mindfulness during mundane tasks such as commuting, housework or eating. Practice drishti (focusing on one point) when in crowded areas or on trains to avoid losing your center.
  
  Viel Spass dabei!
