1. Why Enjoyment & Leisure Are Important
Quality of life means not only achievement and duties, but also conscious enjoyment and restorative leisure.
Those who regularly make space for joy and relaxation not only promote well-being, but also long-term health and performance.
Enjoyment and leisure are not a luxury – they are a central part of a balanced life.
2. Basics & Explanation
- Enjoyment:
- Consciously experiencing positive moments (e.g. good food, music, nature, culture).
- Promotes mindfulness and feelings of happiness.
- Leisure:
- Time that is not determined by work or obligations.
- Enables relaxation, creativity, and social contacts.
- Bestforming Logic: Enjoyment + leisure create balance → energy and motivation for everyday life and goals.
3. Challenges & Risks
- Lack of time: Work and obligations often leave little room for leisure.
- Unconscious consumption: Leisure time is “used up” by passive media consumption instead of being actively shaped.
- Guilt: Enjoyment is often confused with laziness or “wasting time.”
- Excess: Constant hedonism can be unsatisfying in the long run.
4. Tips & First Steps
- Plan enjoyment consciously: Integrate small moments into everyday life (e.g. enjoy coffee in peace).
- Actively shape leisure time: Sports, hobbies, culture, or nature instead of just screen time.
- Quality over quantity: Prefer short, conscious experiences to long, unused time.
- Social component: Sharing enjoyment and leisure with others amplifies the effect.
- Reflection: Questions like “What gives me energy?” help with planning.
