Inspiration in the Workplace

Inspiration in the Workplace
By Christopher Walker

What is inspiration in the workplace?

Thanks for this question. Truth is, there is no such thing as inspiration. You can’t create it, do it or have it. You can’t cause it or loose it.

Inspiration is what happens when circumstances are right. Like meditation, you can’t meditate either. Don’t believe anyone who tells you they will teach you how to meditate, they are not being honest. They never meditated really.

All we can do is create the circumstances in which meditation might happen. And similarly with Inspiration, we can only create the circumstances for inspiration to happen.

How do we create the circumstances for inspiration to happen in an office.

1/ In the zone. People walking around interrupting each other without warning is the opposite to “in the zone� Even a set of earphones with the right music (individual choice) can block out ambient disturbance and create a “zone�for someone. About 20 -30 minutes in “the zone�takes a person into inspiration.

2/ Happiness. Dark moods, anger, negativity and downers kill the space for inspiration. Up beat, positive, affirmative and honest environments allow the nervous system to relax, let go defences and this is essential for inspiration.

3/ Confidence. We must have a sense of purpose in order for inspiration to occur. That means simply a belief that we are “on the right track�with whatever we are doing. Designing a carpet, writing a letter, answering the phone, no matter what we do we must believe that this activity is causing the outcome our boss, or project demands. Uncertainty kills inspiration.
