Quite often I’ll go through a period (as short as a week and as long as a month) where I don’t do much personally creative. there’s a tension here between professional and personal creativity. Most days I focus my creative output into crafting beautiful spaces for others
I wonder if this seeming dry spell or a perceived lack of motivation/creativity is actually creativity being roadblocked by something else. Perhaps my brain is still mulling over an old problem or I just have to many ‘tabs’ open so to speak.
I often find that problems solve themselves while on the backburner (see on knowing when to stop ) so maybe that ‘backburner’ takes up more mental energy than I realize
Things that can block creative pursuits
- stress
- poor sleep
- fear
