Ever feel super creatively drained?

When I feel i’ve used most of the juice in my creative batteries, I have some methods to persevere. There’s many different ways to handle that situation.

Option 1: We rest, stop, relax and recharge, totally normal and healthy to take breaks. We all need some time to recharge, including the highly creative people.

Option 2: Keep pushing, but strategically, instead of doing your main creative act, try a different form of creative expression. If you write, draw or sing or paint etc. This will get the creative juices flowing again, and revitalize your creative energy.

Option 3: Get inspired, change scenery, change environments, try something new. Maybe a weekend trip, or spending time in nature or in a different culture, something you’re not used to. To shake up the complacency in life and refresh you.

Option 4: Connect to the source. Our creativity comes to us from an infinite source. It is abundant and limitless. Theres no real limit on creative energy but we tend to get blocked, for reasons I don’t claim to fully understand. Just know you can tap into the Source, God, The Universe, whatever you call it, at any time. It’s like plugging your phone in to charge, at times we all need that spiritual boost.

Option 5: Connect with other creatives. This is one of the best, fastest ways to get unblocked creatively. Other people help us to be inspired and excited creatively. We can bounce ideas off one another and riff. We can see things from different perspectives when we watch other peoples creative process in action. We realize there’s many ways to express one’s creativity and we’re not bound to one method.

So there we have it, 5 simple tips to get through a creative block. Im sure there's many more, maybe I wasn’t being creative enough… But in all seriousness, there’s limitless energy, endless creativity. Abundance is all around us, but we tend to block ourselves off and shut ourselves down at times. This is a choice, even if it’s unconscious. We have access to ceaseless flows of creative energy. We just need to tap into the current. Are you in a creative block? How will you get unstuck today?
