I lost my curiosity. How to get it back?

Curiosity plays an important role in the creative process, promoting more effective learning and enjoyment of it. To stay at the forefront of a rapidly changing world of progress, it is necessary to constantly develop and have a healthy curiosity.

Constraints such as mental or physical fatigue, limited time due to work and other obligations, can hinder the acquisition of new knowledge. However, to overcome these barriers, we must find the internal drive to take action.

Refusing to cultivate curiosity makes life dull and monotonous. We become routine performers if we do not allow ourselves to be curious and explore the unknown. As a result, we find ourselves in a world that weighs us down and demands change. External factors such as pleasant entertainment and socializing may bring pleasure, but internally, we still remain empty.

Ask ourselves simple questions

To revive our curiosity, we must connect with our inner child and revive the sense of wonder within us. By asking ourselves a simple question, "What do I want to do right now?" we can discover our hidden interests and regain the joy of learning and exploration.

For those working on projects with deadlines and high-quality requirements, it is important to find ways to incorporate an element of play into the work process. Allocating time during the day to seek answers to the question, "What if...?" and allowing ourselves to experiment and explore new ideas can increase engagement and interest in our work.

Giving employees the freedom to pursue their interests

Applying critical and design thinking techniques adds a playful element to the work process and allows us to express our curiosity while increasing employee engagement and interest. They will see work not just as a duty but as an opportunity for creativity, coming to the office with enthusiasm and joy, like children in a sandbox where they can build fantastic castles.

Certainly, granting freedom to employees can be a challenge for businesses, but it is important to understand that a curious and motivated team contributes to increased productivity and better business results. Therefore, it is necessary to find a balance between employee autonomy and company priorities.

Conclusion 

The loss of curiosity is a common problem, but it can be overcome. By reconnecting with our inner child, asking ourselves what we truly want to do, and giving ourselves the freedom to develop our interests, we can revive our curiosity and achieve greater success in both personal and professional life.
