How Connecting to Creativity and Clarity Improve Work Life Balance
How connecting to creativity and clarity improve work life balance –
I have found there are so many ways to connect. Five ways to connect that resonate with me are:
- Conception – developing my ideas & projects are key to my work life balance
- Care – creates a bond that builds over time
- Culture – a combination of practices and preferences
- Calm – everything goes smoother when calmness is involved
- Clarity – a stable foundation for focus
“Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected” William Plomer, South African author.
For me these ways to connect all impact work life balance and creativity:
Conception
Ideas are the initial spark that start a journey. Conception is the beginning. Connecting to the idea fuels the fire and keeps the idea alive and developing. My ideas and projects are key to my work life balance.
Care
Caring for myself and others is precious. Connecting is caring for those around me. Care creates a bond that builds over time. Care is a wonderful gift that I can give to others at any time. My work life balance is improved with self care and caring for others.
Culture
Culture on a personal level is a combination of my practices and preferences. When I have similar preferences to others I find it easier to connect with them. I also take on connecting with broader cultural beliefs to expand my understanding and appreciation.
Calm
I find connecting to calm is invaluable to many elements of life. Connecting with others goes smoother when calmness is incorporated. In a calm state I have clarity and focus & am able to see how others perceive things. Calm is a great state both away from work and at work.
Clarity
Clarity is a stable foundation for achieving my goals and targets. Connecting to what I want to achieve is greatly assisted with clarity. I can focus on what matters to me.
