In order to exercise your creative instincts at work, you need an open mind that allows you to consider limitless possibilities to think outside the box. Creative instincts release you from the grip of the rational mind where your inner critic resides and immerses you into an intuitive wisdom of another kind — a wisdom that helps you see and make healthy, productive decisions from an entirely different place in a totally different way. Creativity goes hand in hand with clear-mindedness and the courage to risk letting go. It fosters being synchronized with the ebb and flow of life, a creative harmony that manifests as peak moments, oneness, and a rich sense of being fully alive.
When you exercise your creative instincts, you don’t push the river, because you’re flowing in the moment. Wonder what it would be like if each workday were involving, fun, and creative? Contemplate some mindfulness actions you can take to participate more fully in the creative process. Then, commit yourself to when and where you might implement these new ideas.
Take care of yourself
From time to time, you may find yourself putting your needs at the bottom of the list in order to take care of others.
