The Creator's Block

 

I’ve come across the creator’s block. However, not as much before, since, I always sat down to create only when I had something in my mind and that is mostly because the other times I would be working. Now that my only job is to create, I am in face to face with the creator’s block!

 

I wake to moments of zero inspiration and motivation. Being a person of schedule, I like to have plans in place and as I had mentioned earlier, up until now, I always had the “things to do” drafted for me. Something like, drop my kid at school, yoga, work and back home. In between of this schedule, I’d fit in a quick sketch or a read. My inspiration would have met me somewhere during the day which would drive me to bring my sketch to paint during the night.

 

Now the responsibility to find the impetus lies with me. The drive to get creative is not going to come to me as I lay back. I have to get up and get moving. A walk, a read and good music help me find my groove.

 

I’ve found that when I show up, the creative universe is awaiting to back me up. Put the pen to the book, paint to the canvas and it will find its way, taking the creator by surprise. The ask however is to show up.

 

So, let’s show up so that our creative mojo finds a way into the world.
