Was mir als HSP am meisten geholfen hat 1 Jul 2019 6:37 AM (5 years ago)
Seitdem ich 31 bin, optimiere ich mein Leben hinsichtlich meiner Hochsensibilität. Heute bin ich 36 und genieße mein Leben.
Ich habe in den fünf Jahren viele Bücher gelesen und Methoden ausprobiert.
Das, was mir am besten geholfen hat, möchte ich hier mit Euch teilen.
Über allen Büchern, Kursen, Tipps und Ratschlägen schwebt definitiv das Buch von Julie Bjelland „Brain Training For The Highly Sensitive Person„.
Dort wird vor allem eines gelehrt: wie man aus dem Emotionalen System (Limbic System) in das Kognitive System gelangt. Das bedeutet, wenn man gestresst reagiert, liegt das meist daran, dass das Limbische System aktiv ist, also alles was mit Emotionen und Gefühlen zu tun hat. Der gesunde Menschenverstand oder das rationale Denken sind deaktiviert und man neigt zu nicht besonders zielführenden Reaktionen.
In Ruhe Entscheidungen treffen, sorglos das Telefon benutzen, tief schlafen – für mich war das alles lange Zeit in nicht erreichbarer Ferne. Heute bekomme ich das alles hin.
Die Bücher sind aktuell in Englisch verfügbar. Es lässt sich wunderbar mit Google Translate oder noch besser mit Deepl kostenfrei übersetzen. Ich habe mit Julie gesprochen und es ist keine Übersetzung geplant, da Deepl einfach zu gut geworden ist. 
Zusammen mit dem Buch „The Empowered Highly Sensitive Person“ bildet es eine wundervolle Basis, um sich selber zu verstehen und sich dementsprechend selbst zu optimieren.
Ich wünsche Dir von Herzen, dass Du einen harmonischen Umgang mit der Hochsensibilität findest und es Dir dabei hilft.

Another fashion world is possible / a possible fashion world is another 21 Jan 2019 2:53 PM (6 years ago)
Many people claim to be eco-conscious in their fashion shopping these days. They only buy skirts, shirts and other fancy flirts when there’s a specific label or certificate visible.
But is that really all?
I once met a guy in Bali in a hostel working as a webmaster for the United Nations. He told me about Africa. He told me about Kongo. He told me about war. He told me about working conditions. He told me about intercultural connections and the distribution of power. He told me about media.
His main saying was: you can only know the truth IF YOU ACTUALLY GO THERE AND SEE YOURSELF.
And you don’t see reality while looking at a certificate’s label in a German fashion store.
There are many good creative souls out there who produce, source and sell without having paid for extremely expensive certificates.
It’s called subculture sometimes. They’re underdogs sometimes. They should be uppercats instead.
People who just do what they love: working and creating in alignment with the highest values possible: respect, love and gratitude towards nature.
If you dig deep enough or just ask around, you will find your gems. For example if you love artful button shirts or psychedelic backpacks, you could go to a festival and find Ness.
Or you could go to Berlin and find Manda & Steffen.
They even collaborate 
There are so many people you can support with your vote (aka buying decision). Place your funky monies into the right hands and see actual change happening.
Don’t just go for the big brands who can afford the resource-intense process of certificates. Of course these standards are a positive thing, but forgetting the driving forces of the underground is not.

Meine Morgenroutine mit Plan: Heißes Wasser, Yoga & X 29 Dec 2018 6:19 AM (6 years ago)
Ein Künstler stellte mir auf Facebook eine einfache Frage und ich antwortete. Das Feedback war von anderen sehr positiv, also möchte ich meine Morgenroutine mit Euch teilen.
Ich bin hochsensibel – wenn ich es also kann, kannst du es mit Sicherheit tun.
Meine Best Practices für einen reibungslosen Start in den neuen Tag mit voller Klarheit, Produktivität und Kreativität:
a) Das Bettmachen.
Empfohlen und eingehend erklärt von NAVY Admiral William McRaven – viel effektiver, als Du vielleicht gedacht hast. Es ist Deine allererste Errungenschaft des Tages, die Dein Gehirn in einen Erfolgsmodus versetzt. Klingt seltsam oder einfach, aber dennoch so effektiv. Auch wir sterben jede Nacht und werden jeden Morgen wieder geboren. Es ist also ein Ritual, bewusst kontrolliert aufzustehen und auch lebendig zu sein. Die Kontrolle über Dein Erwachen zu haben, ist mächtig.
b) Warmes Wasser trinken. Google einfach mal ‚Japanese Water Therapy‚ – erstaunlich.
Es ist interessant, wie viele Menschen ihren Tag mit Koffein beginnen, vor allem aus der Quelle der Kaffeebohnen. Es gibt viele Alternativen wie Guarana, das sich gleichmäßig über den Tag verteilt und das Cortisol a.k.a. Stressniveau nicht so stark erhöht wie Kaffee.
c) Yoga; Meditation; Atmung (siehe Pranayama) – der Sonnengruß ist die gängigste yogische Praxis und kann leicht über YouTube oder eine einmalige Yogastunde erlernt werden. Meditation ist so kraftvoll, dass es fast schon unglaublich ist. Die Atmung ist viel mehr als nur Sauerstoff, sie ist Deine -direkte- Möglichkeit, Dein Nervensystem unmittelbar zu kontrollieren.
Wenn Yoga mehr als genug für Dich ist – mach einfach Stretching. Das Dehnen am Morgen hat viele positive Effekte und ist eigentlich einer der physikalischen Hauptteile des Yoga- oder Faszientrainings.
d) Also geben wir Wasser in das Fahrzeug unserer Seele, auch bekannt als Körper, wir haben eine gesunde Durchblutung via Yoga oder Sport, damit Deine Organe richtig miteinander kommunizieren, was brauchen wir sonst noch?
Die Natur um uns herum. Also mache ich einen Spaziergang oder einen Lauf im Wald. Mehr Sauerstoff und vor allem natürliche Muster. Der Geist entspannt, indem man einfach die Natur oder natürliche Muster beobachtet. Viele Recherchen und Artikel darüber sind verfügbar. Der Betondschungel ist nicht unser natürlicher Lebensraum. Wenn Du keine Chance auf einen Park oder Wald zur Verfügung hast: Bilder und Videos haben eine ähnliche Wirkung.
e) Und wenn du mit Negativität in deinem Leben zu kämpfen hast, Deinen Geist in positive Denkmuster zu bringen: protokollieren, wofür du dankbar bist. Dankbarkeit ist der effektivste Weg, um deine negativen Gedankenmuster in positive umzuprogrammieren. Das kann wie ein Muskel trainiert werden und Du wirst die Wirkung nach 21 Tagen spüren, wenn nicht sogar früher. Es bauen sich tatsächlich neue synaptische Verbindungen auf, die es Dir ermöglichen, im Allgemeinen positiver zu denken und zu sein. Viele Recherchen und Artikel darüber sind ebenfalls verfügbar.
f) Geh joggen. Mit guuuuuuuuuter Musik. Normalerweise höre ich persönlich Psytrance, Techno und Progressive Trance. Kürzlich habe ich herausgefunden, dass es Progressive House, Funky House und Tech House gibt, die mich dazu bringen können, noch fokussierter, schneller, länger und mit mehr Freude als je zuvor zu laufen. Gestern Abend veröffentlichte mein Lieblingshaus DJ Orion9 ein weiteres fantastisches House Music Set und ich konnte nicht aufhören zu laufen, bis der Mix fertig war:
So ist es gut. Da rennt man. Dabei füllst Du Deinen Körper, Dein Gehirn und deine Zellen mit Sauerstoff und Freude. Alles transportiert Informationen, also trinke in fröhlicher Stimmung, iss mit dankbaren Gedanken und laufe mit fantastischer Musik, die Du liebst, egal welches Genre und welcher Künstler für Dich funktioniert.
NICHT EMPFEHLENSWERT:
a) Checke Dein Smartphone, bevor Du Deinen Tagesablauf festgelegt hast. JEDE Überprüfung außer der Zeit wird Dich die Stimmungen, Wünsche, Sehnsüchte anderer Menschen bringen. Auch das blaue Licht des Bildschirms verwirrt die Sinne, v.a. wenn der Raum noch dunkel ist, ist das purer Stress für Dein Nervensystem.
b) Kontakt mit jemandem aufnehmen, bevor du Lust dazu hast. Ausnahmen können Deine Kinder, Dein Partner oder jemand, um den Du Dich kümmern musst, sein. Aber für mich ist es immer noch das, was am besten funktioniert. Die Achtung der Morgenroutine anderer Menschen und dann das Treffen zum Frühstück danach kann auch fantastisch sein.
c) Überprüfung von ToDo-Listen oder allem anderen, was mit der Arbeit zusammenhängt, bevor Du Dich um Dich selbst kümmerst. Wenn Du absolut begeistert von deiner Arbeit bist, ist es ein anderes Thema
Rock your life – create your dreams – es ist der einzige Weg, wirklich glücklich zu sein.
Auch Herr Kwik stimmt in vielen Punkten zu, ich habe gerade herausgefunden (Video weiter unten)
Update: nachdem ich jetzt auch den mittelfristigen Effekt bestätigen kann, möchte ich noch mitteilen, dass mir CBD sehr geholfen hat, die Routine einzuhalten, obgleich meine Hochsensibilität weiterhin aktiv ist. Auch wenn das Öl bei einigen Menschen noch Berührungsängste hervorruft, da es ja vom bösen Cannabisstrauch entsprießt, möchte ich es von Herzen empfehlen. Anscheinend sind einige endogene Cannabinoidsysteme aus dem Gleichgewicht gebracht worden, fehlt doch Cannabis seit der Prohibition auf unserem Speiseplan gänzlich. Und jegliche Argumentation GEGEN das Cannabisöl konnte bisher widerlegt werden.

FAQ of Life: Wie ich schrittweise die Depression besiegt habe :) 27 Dec 2018 10:35 PM (6 years ago)
Da fragte mich ein anscheinend sehr freundliches Mädchen in einer Facebook-Gruppe, wie ich es aus Trauma und Depressionen herausgeschafft habe. Am Ende fragte sie mich, ob sie meinen Text in ihr Notizbuch kopieren dürfe. Siehst du? Wenn du depressiv bist, denkst du auf seltsame Weise. Natürlich kann sie das. Und das kannst du auch.
Das war meine Antwort:
Ich leide seit Ewigkeiten und habe meinen Weg nach draußen und zurück auf die Schiene (oder schließlich auf die Schiene) gefunden. Glaub mir, im Rückblick bin ich eigentlich dankbar für alles, was passiert ist, da ich jetzt so super stark und glücklich bin. Ohne diesen Kontrast und diese Erfahrung wäre ich nie in der Lage gewesen, dort zu sein, wo ich jetzt bin. Ich wünsche dir dasselbe.
Sie schrieb:
Du bist eine Inspiration! Irgendwelche Tipps, um wieder auf Kurs zu kommen? Ich weiß, dass es ein Licht am Ende des Tunnels gibt, aber in letzter Zeit kommt es mir eher wie ein ankommender Zug vor. 
Da antwortete ich:
Ein Zug Ich kann fühlen, dass du deinen Humor und deine Kreativität bewahrt hast, das ist eine gute Basis.
Tipps:
a) Meditation – je mehr du es tust, desto mehr bist du mit deinem wahren Ich verbunden und wirst immer mehr spüren, was dein wirklicher Grund ist, hier auf Erden zu sein.
b) Du solltest Dich so weit wie möglich mit positiven Gedanken umgeben. Du bist der Durchschnitt der 5 Personen, mit denen du die meiste Zeit verbringst.
c) Ernährung. Eine gesunde Ernährung ist entscheidend. Der Magen ist unser zweites Gehirn (es gibt gute Videos auf Youtube zu diesem Thema). Und es gibt unglaublich gute Mittel zur Unterstützung des Körpers. Ob Ärzte wohl jemals natürlich vorhandene Dinge wie Schwarzkümmelöl empfehlen würden? Ich orientiere mich da lieber an der Natur, als an pharmakologischen Aktiengesellschaften und ihre Handlanger im Porsche.
d) Training – nicht Muskelaufbau, sondern Durchblutung und frische Luft a.k.a. Sauerstoff ist sehr wichtig für den Heilungsprozess.
e) Journaling – tägliches dankbares Journaling programmiert Deine Denkmuster in Positivität um (es gibt viele Quellen zum Lesen und kostenlosen Anschauen).
f) Serotonin – Ich nehme L-Tryptophan und manchmal 5-HTP, um meine ehemals depressiven biochemischen Strukturen wieder in normale Zustände zu bringen.
g) Yoga – alles über inneren Frieden, das Finden der Mitte, die Verbindung zur Quelle und zum Blutkreislauf.
h) Sei nett zu Dir selbst – in Gedanken und Handeln – Du bist Deine allerbeste Freundin, Dein allerbester Freund, also behandle sie oder ihn auch so.
i) Craniosacral-Therapie kann helfen, habe es selbst nie ausprobiert, aber es scheint für viele zu funktionieren und man muss seine Erfahrungen aus der Vergangenheit nicht noch einmal durchlaufen, so dass es keine erneuten Schmerzen gibt.
j) CBD-Öl hat mir sehr geholfen, aber jeder ist anders und ich habe eine Geschichte des Cannabismissbrauchs, also hat es mich wieder in normale Zustände meines internen Cannabinoidsystems gebracht, das jeder Mensch hat.
k) Natur – natürliche Muster sind reine Gesundheit zum Anschauen, Fühlen, Riechen – viele leben in einem Betondschungel mit Neonlicht und fragen sich, warum ihre organischen Körper und Köpfe in einer synthetischen Welt leiden.
l) Nimm das Leben nicht zu ernst. wir werden das sowieso nicht lebendig hinter uns bringen
Du wirst es mit Leichtigkeit bewältigen. Es geht um die innere Einstellung. Du kannst dein Gehirn trainieren und wie einen Muskel durch Wiederholung verändern. Wiederholte positive Veränderungen, die meisten sind nach 21 Tagen sichtbar.
Und danke, dass du diese Frage gestellt hast. Es ist erstaunlich, wie sich Wissen vervielfachen und stärken kann, indem Du es teilst.
Wenn Du Dich dabei erwischst, in die Negativität zurückzufallen, ist das fantastisch. Je schneller Du es merkst, desto besser. Also, wenn du es erkennst, fühl´ Dich gut dabei. Und die Lücken zwischen positiv und negativ werden kleiner und kleiner und kleiner und kleiner und plötzlich sind sie weg und du bist die meiste Zeit in positiven Schwingungen. Behalte ein wenig Negativität, sonst wird die Positivität langweilig und es braucht den Kontrast. 😉
Letzter Tipp für heute: setze dir kleine Ziele. Dein Gehirn muss sich erholen und die Dopaminfreisetzung muss wieder trainiert werden. Mit kleinen Schritten wirst Du immer stärker und stärker und kannst Dir größere Ziele setzen, während du die Vision deines perfekten Traumlebens die ganze Zeit am Leben hältst, am besten in Ausrichtung auf Deinen höheren Zweck, wie in a) Meditation erwähnt.
Ich hoffe wirklich, dass es hilft und wünsche dir eine funky Woche

The Devastating Effects of Your Amazon Purchase You Weren’t Aware Of 24 Dec 2018 10:19 PM (6 years ago)
Have you just ordered your fair-trade harem trousers conveniently from Amazon? Or a BPA-free drinking bottle for your baby produced according to all EU standards in Asia? Or the gluten-free version of your favourite dish, harvested from happy farmers in Uruguay?
You have just triggered a chain of effects with a good intention that you may not be aware of.
Most people now go directly to Amazon when they want to order a product. They no longer “google” or ask their specialist retailer, but immediately know “where they’re going these days”. This is a development that hurts not only retailers outside the Internet, but everyone else involved as well. Except Jeff Bezos and his company Amazon. To say it foresightedly with Wilhelm Busch:
But woe, woe, woe! When I look at the end!
Jeff Bezos’ original idea for the name of his digital bookstore was once “Relentless” and the domain relentless.com still belongs to him and redirects to Amazon. Relentless was put at that time only in terms for price and speed of delivery. Officially. What has evolved from this is frightening on the one hand and largely unknown to consumers on the other.
Also many merchants who sell on Amazon are not conscious of some connections and they take part in a play, which they would probably never enter with full consciousness.
At the very beginning, only local booksellers had to experience this pitiless relentlessness. Meanwhile it is as good as
all retailers.
Due to ever faster and cheaper ways of goods procurement and delivery, many lovingly managed shops were suddenly confronted with a giant that is hard to beat. Only the most powerful part of the whole game can do that:
the consumers. That’s you.
In order to shed some light on the entire structure and make the connections clearer, here are some explanations. And hopefully also some illuminations with the reader.
Who belongs to this chain between production of the goods and you, if you get your Amazon Prime package delivered the next day, the same day, after two hours, at the same hour?
That’s right. People pack packages, answer customer questions, take care of your returns. A free shipping, a free return, that sounds totally positive at first. But who bears the costs of this service?
That’s right. The
Employees at Amazon.
The working conditions at Amazon tempt people to draw parallels to ancient Egypt. The pharaoh and his …employees? The giant machine and its little cogs. Anyone who wants to find out more is welcome to do so. Here, here, here, here und here. And here. And here (the original article was written in German. You might translate the link’s content by Google Translate or DeepL Translator based on A.I.) And there:
The BBC also took up the topic as early as 2013:
At Christmas time in particular, large numbers of employees are placed in and around the warehouses. To throw them off the premises again afterwards. The trade union ver.di was horrified. Apparently that didn’t do much good, except for a few strikes by courageous employees, it apparently remained a matter of appeasing statements that these were individual cases.
So what’s the point of buying your fairly produced and humanely traded products from this system? We are shifting slavery from Asia to Europe and the USA — does that ring a bell?
Surely there are also well-paid jobs at Amazon and good treatment of them. It seems that this is happening above all strategically well-placed and not for all employees.
During the research for this article, the author was angry for a long time, but at some point he was frightened and sad. First of all, because he had to read Bild and Focus, but also through the articles summarising the working conditions.
The barcodes and scanners actually only track the progress of the packages. However, this technology was also used to measure the number and length of steps of the employees. In this monitoring scenario there is a basic mood of fear. And no atmosphere of trust, as was once the case in small bookstores.
The Süddeutsche Zeitung also reported several times on collapsing employees, harassment, weeping employees in company toilets, stuffy halls and escaping gases. A lively discussion arose in the Forum of Southern Germans about the extent to which Amazon’s pressure was already affecting other areas of life.
Those who are unable to cope with the workload, which often increases to 80 hours a week, risk their job. A woman who asked for consideration and a temporary reduction in pressure because of her father’s cancer was called “a problem” by her boss.
The New York Times reported on two women who themselves had cancer. They were dismissed as people with “difficulties” in “private life. Their jobs were in danger because of “bad performance”.
The superior of another woman was sorry that she had to go on a business trip the day after her miscarriage. But “the work” would still have to be “done”.
The New York Times impressively describes many other aspects, for example, employees received e-mails with work instructions after midnight and on weekends and SMS messages shortly afterwards as to why they were not working.
The personal story of an employee who made an open appeal to Jeff Bezos in connection with the New York Times is also worth reading. She still works at Amazon. She had cancer and a baby and was confronted with frightening scenarios when she came back to work. This has developed into an exciting discussion in the news sector at Y Combinator.
This is the first part that makes Amazon’s “success story” feasible. And to say it with the shouting Hamburg market fish merchants:
But that’s not all! We’re going to add another one!
Because the dealers who play this game not only submit to this system in terms of pricing and delivery speed, but also their entire business processes are directly influenced by the giant. And who is going to take the plunge? The
Employees of the participating dealers.
Whoever sells on Amazon is constantly under pressure. The system mails command the shipping and support staff around. Amazon’s account managers put pressure on participating merchants and their programmers to finally reach certain key figures, otherwise they would have to be put into a different tariff or success would fail. The author speaks from experience and this system generates stress, illogical and inappropriate actions just to do justice to Amazon. Just like everything in life that is driven by maximum profit and not by meaning.
So-called “re-pricing tools” exist that automatically define the “optimal product price”. These were provided by external service providers for a long time, and Amazon has now developed its own system for this purpose. The goal at all times is: maximum turnover on Amazon. The merchants are playing a cuckoo’s eye because that’s the way it’s done today. So much power. In a centre. That can’t go well.
Woe betide when I look at the end.
Amazon not only controls its employees (source: FAZ.net) but also follows the traders to sleep. And everyone plays along. Almost all of them.
But fortunately there are also opposite poles. For example Jeff das Messer(Jeff the Knife). The knife dealer has long denounced Amazon’s activities and himself witnessed the company’s far-reaching effects.
Or traders who, as a matter of principle, do not sell on Amazon and thus enjoy an enormous gain in quality of life and unique selling proposition. Because they don’t submit to the giant machine and forego these thousands of euros in turnover so that they don’t have to be slaves to the system. This energy for this “missing turnover” flows into meaningful cooperation, stress-free work and a certain pride of independence and rebellion. That can release undreamt-of energies, which in another place make up for the few thousand euros in turnover and in the end in turn provide “good money” in other ways, instead of “bad money” from a channel of exploitation and profit maximisation for only one big one.
In the past, online shops optimised their rankings on Google and blew out their money in their uncontrolled advertising campaigns on Google AdWords (“Yes, we also do what it takes, we don’t really know”). Today they give 15% sales commission to the supposedly comfortable customer instrument “Amazon”.
Amazon copies successful products from participating retailers (sources: Fortune.com, Geek.com, Bloomberg.com). Amazon binds business partners to itself and then sucks them out. And participates in their enthusiasm, creativity and intelligence — by providing a highly optimized system. Every retailer’s nightmare is a reality and the system is being served exultantly. And used. Also from you?
Amazon has introduced a feature where merchants selling on Amazon can sell their inventory to Amazon and not to their customers. This feature was introduced overnight, apparently unannounced. The merchants could not choose whether they wanted to play there initially or not. Because the checkmark “Yes, I want” was set automatically by Amazon. Is honourable business conduct at eye level?
Thus, Amazon is gradually incorporating complete markets, meanwhile producing the most successful products itself, has its own fleet of trucks, drones and airplanes. It dominates food markets, media markets, electronics markets and an infinite number of other retail sectors. The system collects and uses data. Amazon’s enormous database allows it to predict relatively well what will go well when and where, and what you want to buy next, or get you to buy it. Is this the reality you want?
First, Amazon attacked the small bookstores with his online model. Now Amazon has opened small bookstores. Amazon now runs exactly the business itself that attacked it first and often ruined it. In San Diego, in Portland, in Seattle, other bookstores are already in the planning stage. Clothes shops soon? Walter Loeb, who analyses retail developments on Forbes.com, speculated about them as early as October 2016.
What can you do about it?
- Use Amazon as a research platform, price search engine or rating platform.
- Order directly from online merchants in their own online shop. Simply google the dealer name of the product and order in the online shop of the dealer. He doesn’t have to pay any sales commission (usually 15% plus basic fee) and can contact you directly — without the monitored and controlled communication between you and the dealers via the Amazon platform.
- Buy locally and make your real retailers happy — and yourself! Be advised lovingly and vividly. Many people are not aware of how much heart and soul goes into a fine shop with dedicated employees. They will repay you many times over: with hearty advice, gratitude and individual service for your wishes. You will be surprised what a “actually wanted to buy online, but…” can do for the person behind the sales counter.
Sure, there are 3 minutes more time that you have to invest to create an account in the respective shop or to place a guest order. But to break this chain and eliminate all negative effects on our common life and convert them into positives, these 3 minutes should be worth it, right?
And a well-considered shopping tour by bike, on foot, by train or by car without “oh that I click into the shopping cart” and a real touching and trying out of the products has real advantages. Also in the long run. Especially together with people who are dear to you.
Because ultimately profit from the preservation of
- independent specialist dealers
- local shops with loving advice
- good working conditions at the dealerships
- less profit-oriented, megalomaniac optimisation of the whole life
not only
Dealers, suppliers, producers and logisticians,
but also
counties, municipalities, communities and their infrastructure, such as kindergartens, roads, state hospitals, state nursing homes
— because Amazon pays its taxes in Luxembourg…
…and with it also:
Your children, your parents, your grandparents, your grandchildren, your neighbours, your friends and yourself.
If you are interested in the topic as a customer, you can watch Amazon’s machinations on the Amazon Watchblog. And maybe make the topic known in your environment. It’s a wonderful topic of conversation for a party: “What many don’t know…”.
If you’re interested in the topic as a retailer: get in touch with Jeff das Messer, speak up at (eCommerce) regulars’ tables about the topic, team up with others. It is so much fun to be independent. And the money that was earned outside of Amazon from your own strength and creativity simply feels good.
Just recently, Amazon banned charities from using their so-called affiliate system. Advertisers receive a commission for every customer they refer. In this affiliate program, horrendous sums are paid monthly to the partners. The goal is the same again: market domination. Webmasters should integrate Amazon advertising at any price and not ewa those of Otto.de or other possible affiliate programs. Charitable institutions are no longer allowed to participate in the Amazon Partner Network. AmazonSmile has now been introduced as an exchange for Amazon’s patronizing vein, where customers can make a donation with just a few clicks when placing an order. In the end, a more profitable business for Amazon, as reported by Der Spiegel, among others.
The list of topics could be continued for several pages. We are curious to see what feedback this article will generate and remain with two questions to the most powerful people in the economy (also called “consumers”) and to the driving forces behind the system, without whom nothing works at all (the dealers):
Are you a consciously critical part of society, using every purchase as a voice and support for the desired structures in the system we live in? What effect do you want your actions to have on the world?
And if you actively sell yourself as an Amazon Marketplace Merchant: Are you an independent entrepreneur? Or are you an FBA customer and, from an overall structural point of view, an Amazon employee who can be fired at any time?
Update from Tagesspiegel and Jeff das Messer (Bundeskartellamt (a.k.a. the Federal Cartel Office) takes action against Amazon):
Als ich anfing, mich gegen Amazon zu wehren, belächelte man mich. Ich würde niemals gegen das Riesenunternehmen…

How To Leave Your Warm Bed Even When It’s Cold Outside 19 Dec 2018 10:38 PM (6 years ago)
So you developed your perfect morning routine for getting things done and still there is one big obstacle: it is soooooo warm inside the bed you can hardly make the decision to leave that cozy place below your blanket.
What can you do?
a) The most effective way seems to be: put the clothes you want to wear on the next day below your blanket as well. It will be warm and handy to grab.
b) Another option is to put the clothes onto a heating device before going to bed.
c) Look forward to that hot shower which is waiting for you.
d) Prepare your favourite tea in the evening and put it on a stove so you have this warm drink ready to grab next to your bed.
e) Set the very first task you are really wanna do tomorrow the evening before which can be accomplished easily and JUMP out of bed FULL of motivation regarding that task and tell yourself if you repeat that just several times it will become more easy and more easy and finally your new normal standard. Remind yourself of how awesome your dream life is you are already living and extending and building; I made that up to the extend that I don’t wanna go to bed anymore or can’t wait to wake up and leave the bed in the morning, I go to sleep with that anticipation, it’s my last conscious thought and my first conscious thought and therefore I progress a lot of data towards that mindset while sleeping.
f) Don’t smoke weed. Or at least cut out the last doobie shortly before sleeping. At least two hours before sleeping you should not do any mind altering activities besides meditation. Not drinking any alcohol in general helped me big time as well
g) Prepare an audio book or DJ set or any music you would LOVE to hear, your favourite set or some new release by an artist you really really like. So you can’t wait listening to it. BUT: stand up BEFORE you put it onto your ears
h) Appreciate how nice your bed is. Celebrate your bed. Get a weighted blanket, buy a high quality cushion cover in the style you love. Step out of your bed and be thankful for it and tell yourself you will be back in the evening. Say bye to a good friend who is waiting for you until you come back. The ‚good bye‘ is not forever. Thinking in these patterns might sound weird, but that’s how our brain works: tell him stories he can believe and adjust your reality and motivation by that technique.
i) Make your bed.

FAQ of Life: How to stop caring what others think (LOGICAL EXPLANATION) 15 Dec 2018 6:38 AM (6 years ago)
What others think is none of your business, at least it does not have to influence your decisions, your lifestyle or your expressions. Of course it is interesting what others think and do. It just has no right to hold you back living the way you want to create your reality.
The simple logical explanation:
If you do or say exactly the same to Person A and Person B, the outcome will be different. Sometimes to the extend, that the result is completely contrary.
This means:
Any thought, expression or reaction caused by your action is being perceived by another human entity which has it’s own path, history and scenario. You express it and it goes though their very own nervous system and is processed in their own individual way.
As we all are here to experience and learn there is no absolute truth made up by a single human.
So there is absolutely no need to take anything seriously in a way that you feel bad about it just because someone else thinks, talks or behaves in a negative way towards you.
You are complete in your incompleteness as we all are.

My Morning Routine For Getting Things Done 14 Dec 2018 12:28 AM (6 years ago)
Some incredible artist asked a simple question and I replied. The feedback was very positive by others, so I want to share my best morning routine for getting things done with you today.
I am highly sensitive – so if I can do it – you can do it for sure.
My best practices for a smooth start into the new day with full clarity, productivity and creativity:
a) Making the bed.
Recommended and deeply explained by NAVY Admiral William McRaven – much more effective than you might have thought). It’s your very first accomplishment of the day which sets your brain into a success mode. Sounds weird or simple, yet so effective. Also we die every night and are re-born every morning. So it is a ritual of consciously getting up in a controlled way and being alive as well. Having control about your awakening is powerful.
b) Hot water. Check ‚Japanese Water Therapy‚ via Google.
It’s interesting how many people start their day with caffeine, especially from the source of coffee beans. There are plenty alternatives like guarana, which distributes evenly through the day and do not raise cortisol aka stress levels as much as coffee.
c) Yoga; Meditation; Breathing (check ‚Pranayama‚) – the sun salutation is the most common yogic practice and can be learned easily via YouTube or a one time yoga session. Meditation is so powerful it’s unbelievable. Breathing is much more than oxygen, it’s your most -direct- option to control your nervous system.
If that’s more than enough for you – just do stretching. Stretching in the morning has lots of positive effects and is actually one of the main parts of yoga or fascia training.
d) So we put water into our soul’s vehicle aka body, we got blood circulation going via yoga aka organs communicating properly with each other, what else do we need?
Nature around us. So I go for a walk or a run in the forest. Some extra oxygen and more importantly natural patterns. The mind can be relaxed by just watching nature or natural patterns. Plenty of research and articles about that available. The concrete jungle is not our natural habitat. If you have no chance for a park or forest: images and videos do have a similar effect.
e) And if you’re struggling with negativity in your life: bringing your mind into positive thought patterns: journaling regarding what you are thankful for. Thankfulness is the most effective way to re-program your negative thought patterns into positive ones. It can be trained like a muscle and you will feel the effect after 21 days if not earlier. It actually builds new synaptic connections which allow you to be more positiv in general. Plenty of research and articles about that available as well.
f) Go for a run. With gooooooooood music. Usually I personally listen to Psytrance, Techno and Progressive Trance. Recently I found out, there’s Progressive House, Funky House and Tech House which is able to force myself to run even more focussed, faster, longer and with more joy than ever. Last night my favourite house DJ Orion9 published another awesome house music set and I was not able to stop running until the mix was finished:
So there you go. There you run. There you fill your body, brain and cells with oxygen and joy. Everything transports information, so drink in a happy mood, eat with thankful thoughts and run with awesome music you love, whatever genre and artist works for you.
Some don’ts:
a) Checking your smartphone before YOU have set YOUR tone of the day. ANY check besides the time will lead you into OTHERS tone, wishes, desires and so on. Also the blue light of the screen messes up your senses when the room is still dark, it’s pure stress.
b) Contact with anyone before you feel like it. Exceptions might be your children or partner or anyone you take care of. But still for me it’s starting on my own what works best. Respecting the others morning routine and then meet for breakfast can be awesome as well.
c) Checking todo lists or anything else work-related before you took care of yourself. If you’re absolutely enthusiastic about your work, it’s a different ball game
Rock your life – create your dreams – it’s the only way to be truly happy.
Also Mr. Kwik agrees on many points I just found out

FAQ of Life: How I got out of Depression and are BACK ON TRACK FINALLY :) 11 Dec 2018 4:03 AM (6 years ago)
So a seemingly very friendly girl asked me in that Facebook Group how I made it out of trauma and depression. In the end she asked me if she would be allowed to copy my text into her notebook. See? If you are depressed you think in weird ways. Of course she can. And so can you.
This was my reply:
I’ve been suffering for ages and found my way out and back on track (or finally on track). Believe me, looking back I’m actually thankful for all what happened as I am so super strong and happy now. Without that contrast and experience I would have never been able to be where I am now. Wishing you the same.
She said:
Markus Fordemann You’re an inspiration! Any tips to get back on track? I know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel BUT lately, to me, it seems more like an oncoming train.
I replied:
A train 🙂 I can feel you kept your humour and creativity, that’s a good base.
Tips:
a) meditation – the more you do it the more you are connected to your real you and will feel more and more what’s your real reason to be here on earth
b) surround yourself with positive minds as much as possible. You’re the average of the 5 people you are spending the most time with
c) nutrition. Healthy nutrition is key. The stomach is our second brain (good videos on youtube around that topic)
d) workout – not pumping muscles but blood circulation and fresh air a.k.a. oxygen is very important for the healing process
e) journaling – daily thankful journaling re-programmes your thought patterns into positivity (lots of resources to read and watch for free around that)
f) serotonine – I take L-Tryptophan and sometimes 5-HTP to get my formerly depressed biochemical structures back into normal states
g) yoga – all about inner peace, finding your middle, being connected to the source and blood circulation
h) be nice to yourself – in thoughts and action – you are your very best friend, so treat her like that
i) Craniosacral therapy can help, never tried it, but it seems to be working for many and you don’t have to go through your experiences from the past again, so there’s no pain involved from what I’ve heard
j) CBD oil helped me a lot but everyone is different and i have a cannabis abuse history so it got me back into normal states of my internal cannabinoid system which every human has
k) nature – natural patterns are pure health to watch, feel, smell – many live in a concrete jungle with neon lights and are wondering why their organic bodies and minds are suffering in a synthetic world
l) don’t take life too serious. we’re not going out of this alive anyways 😉
you will manage it with ease. it’s all about mindset. you can train and change your brain like a muscle by repetition. repetitive positive change, most will be visible after 21 days.
and thank you for asking this question. it’s amazing how knowledge can multiply and get stronger by sharing it.
if you catch yourself falling back into negativity that’s awesome. the quicker you realise it the better, so when you realise it, feel good about it. and the gaps between positive and negative will become SMALLER and SmALLeR and smALLer and smaller and poof they are gone and you’re in positive vibes most of the time. keep a tiny bit of negativity otherwise the positivity becomes boring and it needs the contrast
last one: set small goals. your brain needs to recover and the dopamine release has to be TRAINed 😉 again. so with small accomplishments you will get stronger and stronger and can set bigger goals while keeping the vision of your perfect dream life alive all the time, best in alignment with your higher purpose as mentioned in a) meditation.
I really hope it helps and have a funky week 🙂
