The dimension of the process; the lifeblood of the company
Her Sanskrit name is Svadhisthana, which can be translated as “Life Force” or “The Seat of the Self.” » It is the dimension of pleasure, of joy, the symbol of fertility, of creativity. It is from this dimension that the project is created, takes its concrete form. His universe is water, the fluidity that allows movement, change, adaptation.
VShe chakra is the seat of emotions. Emotions invite us to move, it is the engine of our survival instinct. If an external element disturbs our existence and threatens it, emotion awakens our senses to push us to act to save ourselves. By blocking the emotions, we block the movement. However, it provides us with fundamental information that it is essential to listen to in order to understand and adjust our behavior.
The emotion most conducive to success is joy. Success comes through pleasure, we can ask ourselves the question ; Do we experience pleasure because we succeed or do we succeed because we take pleasure? Everything is intimately linked, but it is obvious that if I don’t like what I do I won’t get anything that satisfies me. It is the motivation, the pleasure, the desire to see my project come to fruition that brings it to fruition. When there is no more pleasure, frustration is created, negative emotions which circulate in this dimension and which will produce the opposite of what we would like to see happen. The more I am in the flow, the pleasure, the more everything flows with coherence, relevance. Without pleasures, there are no motivations, and without motivations, there is no longer sufficient energy for action.
The quality of the implementation of the action will therefore depend on the motivation of its members, their capacity for adjustment, understanding, acceptance, adaptation, the better they will work with pleasure and the more effective their action will be. The more the action will be fluid in pleasure and joy, the easier and more relevant it will be.

Ways to take care of the dimension of the process
The principle is to structure a pleasant, stimulating, practical and operational work environment dedicated to the comfort of carrying out work, individually and collectively.
In this dimension of the process, we are invited to enjoy the source of motivation, to listen to the feelings of the emotions in order to understand and adjust, adapt.
The lever of motivation
In the managerial sense, motivation determines the action of people at work. It is creating and maintaining situations that stimulate his desire to carry out the tasks and achieve the objectives entrusted to him.
We don’t motivate people… We offer them the opportunity to motivate themselves
The manager must create the conditions allowing each of his collaborators to be motivated. Several sources of motivation can be activated:
- The consideration, it is the attention paid to the collaborator, to his person and to his work: Nothing is worse than indifference, examples: Politeness, listening, attention paid to their work, Informing, communicating. They are also objective feedback
- emulation, it is a feeling that pushes to surpass oneself or to equal someone. Everyone is sensitive to the gaze of their peers. The role of the manager is important to create the conditions for healthy emulation (equity) and no unhealthy competition (injustice, etc.)
- pride of belonging is also a powerful driving force, we are social beings of ties and we need to feel that we belong to a group, a collective. We can be proud of the team, the department, or the direction to which we belong, the body to which we belong…
- material self-interest, remuneration plays an important role as long as a decent level is not reached but it only comes after other factors. The bonuses are a recognition of the effort made. Also think about taking on responsibilities, career prospects, training, etc.
- Ideology, values, meaning, the personal external reasons that motivate people in self-realization and or to work for the collective good. Often linked to the ideal job they have chosen to exercise.

- Pause then everyone is invited to walk at the pace that suits them
- Identify how long it takes for the rhythm to be uniform, stop if necessary and debrief
Debrief on the exercise on how everyone felt? what rhythm suits him? how does he experience the rhythm of others around him? make the link with the workstation…

- Do not get stuck in front of a file. Go out for a walk, walk, get some fresh air, let go of your mind, breathe, when you come back you are 10 times more effective the ideas come back…
- Take care of your appearance, for you. Choose your clothing according to your desires of the day.
