So let\u2019s talk today about a phenomenon called escapism. This term describes the escape from reality, from the real world and its demands, into an imaginary, illusory existence in which everything feels easier and better. This is a bit frowned upon in a modern performance-oriented society in which one must always function and excel and in which \u201cidleness is the mother of all vices.\u201d But is that true across the board?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01740.jpg\" alt=\"stock image, royalt-free, Smiling woman with hand in pocket looking away at forest\" class=\"wp-image-20808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01740.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01740-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01740-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01740-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01740-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01744.jpg\" alt=\"stock image, royalty-free, Man kissing girlfriend by dog in tent at autumn forest\" data-id=\"20800\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01744.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/en\/man-kissing-girlfriend-by-dog-in-tent-at-autumn-forest-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-20800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01744.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01744-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01744-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01744-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01744-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01738.jpg\" alt=\"stock image, royalty-free, Woman filling bottle in stream at autumn forest\" data-id=\"20801\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01738.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/en\/woman-filling-bottle-in-stream-at-autumn-forest-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-20801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01738.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01738-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01738-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01738-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MRRF01738-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">\u00a9 Manu Reyes\/Westend61<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>The decisive factors are dose, duration, motive, and method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to both the Internet and the entertainment industry, today we have more opportunities to immerse ourselves in illusory worlds than ever before.

Now the good news: Enjoyed in reasonable doses\u2014and, above all, consciously managed\u2014escapism is also something healthy and even vital. We all need little escapes from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to get back to ourselves and recharge our batteries. Sometimes all it takes is a refreshing walk to dissolve muddled thoughts and regulate stress levels. Yoga, autogenic training, breathing exercises, meditation, and other relaxation techniques are other methods of getting off the hamster wheel for a while and regaining inner peace. Endurance sports in healthy moderation can also lead to this goal.<br \/>The essential difference to the passive and thoughtless consumption of distractions is that here we have to become active ourselves in order to achieve the desired state of balance. So, as paradoxical as it sounds, we have to be active in order to rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1796\" height=\"1199\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/JOSF03782.jpg\" alt=\"stock image, royalty-free, Businessman with laptop sitting on SUP board on a lake, escapism, reality\" class=\"wp-image-20794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/JOSF03782.jpg 1796w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/JOSF03782-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/JOSF03782-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/JOSF03782-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/JOSF03782-1536x1025.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1796px) 100vw, 1796px\" \/><figcaption>\u00a9 Joseffson\/Westend61<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Flip off your inner taskmaster!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The increasing number of people suffering from mental illnesses shows how important relaxing and switching off are right now. We need these timeouts to balance the real world and its problems. So we should treat ourselves to timeouts, even if our inner taskmaster raises his finger in reproach. Taking sufficient care of oneself and one\u2019s own needs is not an expression of egoism or laziness, but instead is necessary self-care. So let\u2019s flip the taskmaster in us the bird\u2026 And then we turn around and escape for a moment. This not only feels really good, but it also looks good. Take a relaxed look at our \u201cDropout\u201d pinboard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all need little escapes from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to get back to ourselves and recharge our batteries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":20803,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1,4770],"tags":[4742,5369,2985,2663,3624,3626,4469,3770,218,2269],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.11 -
