Our best tips for building mental resilience
In our achievement-oriented society, it is more important than ever to take care of yourself and take regular breaks to prevent burnout and stay healthy in the long term. Many guests at the Ayurveda Parkschlösschen come to us for a short Ayurveda break or a personalised treatment prorgamme to recover physically and mentally from the high demands of everyday life.
With over 30 years of experience in holistic health care, we share our best tips for preventing burn-out and coping with challenging situations in life:
1. Emphasise healthy routines – Dinacharya
‶Start small by finding the little gaps in the day, and integrating certain things like mini-meditation in the morning and drinking two cups of warm water to flush the gut“, advises Maria Hebel, Ayurveda Practitioner at the Parkschlösschen.
2. Set boundaries to overstimulating stress factors, such as screen time and work demands
Set aside timeframes every day, and during the week, in which you prioritise “me-time”.

3. Proactively pay attention to your needs and prioritise taking care of yourself
As Kathleen Landbeck, naturopath for psychotherapy and leader of the Resilience Retreat at the Ayurveda Parkschlösschen explained in a recent round-table discussion on RTL Today Luxembourg:
We all know what we should be doing more and what we should be doing less of, but bringing that into our lives, that’s the challenge (…) that has a lot to do with our “self-love muscle“, and if we don’t know how to tap into that strength, it’s really hard to do the loving things we need to do for ourselves.
4. Practice adequate sleep hygiene
Getting a sufficient night’s rest helps with regenerative processes in the body and strengthens our immune system, while also increasing our capacity to learn and focus.

5. Take pause and go about your day more mindfully
… rather than hectically rushing through tasks and unnecessarily putting pressure on oneself.
6. Practice letting go
To illustrate this point, we will leave you with the following quote from Reinhold Niebuhr:
Grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
7. Press the reset button with Panchakarma
For a complete body-mind reset and renewed vitality, why not try one of our Panchakarma treatment programmes?
