This post is here to remind you that artistic block is not an insurmountable hurdle. It's simply a part of the creative process on the winding road that is being a creative soul.
I'll go over 5 tips including valuable insights and practical strategies to help you overcome your creative block. Are you ready?
1. Gain Focus and Master Your priorities.
Are your priorities for the day well-defined and organized? If you find yourself overwhelmed with mental clutter, take a moment to jot it all down! It might be time for a brain dump session, noting down everything that is on your mind This will help you declutter your busy wee mind.
Your next step is to highlight the three most important tasks. Just focus on those for now.
2. Make Some Terrible Art and Embrace Imperfection.
Go ahead, this is your permission to make some gloriously shitty art! Channel your inner child. Try a blind drawing. Maybe use your non-dominant hand. Switch up your drawing subject and give a continuous line drawing a go. Make it a habit to shake off perfectionism and get out of that pretty little head of yours. Remember, the crappier, the better!
3. Get Your Foundations Right, Recharge and Reset.
Are you getting enough quality zzz's? Get off that phone of yours and make sure you're getting some decent rest. Make sure you're eating and caffeinated if that's your poison! You can prepare to conquer the world once you've had some proper, rejuvenating rest.4. Supercharge Your Self-Belief with Affirmations.
Listen up, my fellow artist! This is my secret weapon to conquer self-doubt, welcome to the world of affirmations. These bad boys have the power to transform your mindset, hook into untapped confidence, and get you motivated. Yes, I get it, they are slightly awkward. The more you do them, the more you will see them working in your life.5. The Art of Taking a Breather.
Sometimes, the best move is to gracefully walk away and not push that artistic brilliance. Trust the creative forces within you—they're like boomerangs, guaranteed to come back! I promise. Try and focus your attention to activities that fill your cup and rejuvenate your wee soul. It's time for some self-care and embrace the magic of letting go. Remember that old gem "You can't pour from an empty cup".
