WORK / LIFE BALANCE TO WORK / LIFE / PLAY SYNTHESIS
The watertight distinction between life and seems to be blurring with every passing day given the nature of pace of both the personal, social and professional life The work life balance has been the topic and theme of large of conferences, discussions and seminars but the clarity is nowhere near. Man by his nature likes to make neat compartments; easy for operating our life and final clear cut connections and results. As we move forward in the Exponential Age the nitty gritty of our existence is bound to make a paradigm shift.
While we would love to have weeks and months of holidays for rejuvenation, we also want to remain in touch with our professional life without long breaks and also remain in touch with developments in lots of areas. The rejuvenation is also not happening and in a day back in job you start feeling the same stress and the concomitant complications. Sometime down the line, there needs to be a different alignment of our life for the demands placed on us. There needs to be a different mindset. Only a mindset can change the way we view work, lice and play and how we do perform each of these in near perfect synthesis.
On this synthesis lies the future of the working individual / professional, how professional he or she can be and how much of worthwhile inputs can he bring from outside to his job. This new found equilibrium would be able to enthuse freshness, vigour and vibrancy to himself, in the lives of individuals around him and most importantly to his job. On the vibrancy of the people around you lies you capbality to perform.
This mindset and capability to create this synthesis does not happen in day, you ought to practice on a regular basis. It might take a few years to make it a functional platform of life. Switching oneself on and off, sometimes even few times a day, change of moods, energy levels and company and also the deliverable is not the most accepted thing for human mood. In the days to come this would become the norm. The earlier we are able to make this paradigm shift in our lives, the better it is for our success.
THE PARADIGM SHIFT IN WORK, LIFE & PLAY SYNTHESIS IS ROUND THE CORNER.
