Do you understand the term "duty", emblazoned above this section, not wrong - today the fulfillment of his duties means less soldierly obedience (which still clearly resonates with this word), but rather an acceptance and positive handling of life's tasks, who face a human. The flat idea, that a dutiful person will do just about anything, what is said to him may still be connected with this concept, but it hasn't existed in practice for a long time - our society knows great appreciation for people, who put their performance at the service of a cause.

We seem to have overcome generations of young people without prospects – the universities, formerly a sign of idealistic opposition to mainstream society, are today characterized by relatively ambitious people, successful students, who certainly still bring their individual world view with them, but who would certainly not have thought of it in times of declining prosperity, her career for ambitious though, but to sacrifice little practical ideas. So please note, that the fulfillment of his "duty" is by no means so outdated, as this term appears at first glance.

If you have other time-consuming and dutiful activities in addition to your job and family, you take the time for them, that you need - who does not know the necessity, to do a long pending renovation or tidying up the attic "nevertheless"., even when there doesn't seem to be time for it?

Above all, we all grew up with a saying in our ears: "Work first, then the pleasure". So you should, if you follow this idea, first have time for pleasant activities and for oneself, when you have done your duty, and of course all if possible, that occur on that day.

This attitude may well be suitable for bringing a young person closer to the duties of adult life – but not as a maxim for life as a whole, because the performance of one's duty lends itself to some measure of spiritual well-being, but not for physical. people, We hold in high esteem those who excel in the extraordinary performance of their duties, and they certainly can gain recognition from others through their job or other job, but also to enjoy yourself. It's only natural, trying to outdo each other on something as prestigious as duty, to look good in the end and get enough of the big cake of reputation.

So let's draw a first conclusion: we all know the need, putting aside some duties first, to get the more urgent ones done first. Duty can come before other duties. However, it is far less respected, to abandon his duty, to do something good for yourself – say, to pursue pleasure, that we have all learned to classify according to duty.

In times, in which one can hardly keep up with the duties of daily life and have to look for work, household, Housework and family have to be taken care of in equal measure and it is therefore very likely that you "have to" slip in a visit to the gym, that leisure, which one may enjoy after duty, on many days there is no space at all. And if there is still room for relaxation (mostly in the evening), so many people are mentally and physically capable of little else than being sprinkled with television.

When fitness is the counter-movement to modern lack of exercise, wellness represents the counterpoint to the modern lack of time. More and more people seem to have less and less time, and it is a more than important idea, the time, that you need for yourself, plain and simple to take.

The idea of ​​the wellness movement is, to take the time for things that are actually pleasant, that you need. Secure, This seems somewhat absurd, especially in Germany - after all, we are all familiar with sayings like "Work first, then the pleasure” grew up in the ears. On the other hand, you probably feel it very clearly in your own everyday life, that one does not really reach the goals only by extraordinary fulfillment of one's duties, that you have set yourself - which is why it makes sense for many people, to take time for yourself.
