Recovery and Wellbeing Feeds the Creativity

Being a scientist is actually relatively demanding, quite often it is not enough that you work hard, since if you work too hard and get too tired and stressed out, then you loose your creativity. Therefore, I try to keep good balance between the work and personal lives and enjoy the life outside the science too. And of course being a supervisor, I also recommend that one for my students too. Well, sometimes it is hard to be totally outside of the science as I enjoy the nature a lot, and Mother Nature can surprise me every time, if I just give some space. This week I worked distantly in Lapland (place called Ruka), did some downhill skiing, write a new article and enjoyed the northern lights. I must say that it was a needed week with my family. And I'm full of energy and new ides now! 😎
