What do you leave behind when you set off? Stress, worries, thoughts about tomorrow? Your mirror shows what has passed. Your eyes belong forward – on the road and on the moment.

Leaving things behind consciously

  • A ritual as you set off: As you put on your helmet, tell yourself what you're leaving behind.
  • Eyes forward: Concentrate on what lies ahead of you.
  • Use your mirrors: In traffic, looking back matters – in your head, it can take a break.

Leaving everyday life behind is a central theme of my Burnout Prevention.
