If you are a creator, and you are yet to experience a creative block, then, I must commend you. Your creative game is top-notch!!! I have been there a couple of times and trust me, it is not a pleasant experience. It is a frustrating one. For those new to the concept, a creative block is a period where a creator’s creative juices stop flowing. Here, a creator or artist is unable to access their internal creativity due to self-doubt, personal problems, repeated rejections, and creative burnouts.
Most creatives work from home. Therefore, it is advised that to be constantly motivated, avoid creative block, or get the creative juices flowing again, artists or creators should be invested in making their home as artistically inspiring as possible. This implies taking conscious little steps to make sure that one’s space or home plays a key role in enabling their creative mind. This way, the likelihood to run out of inspiration is limited.
Here are some of the ways in which you can make that happen:
- Declutter: Let’s face it! Clutter never does any good. Clutter causes one to lose concentration and instills a sense of chaos and disorderliness. As a creator who detests running out of ideas, staying well organized and neat is an added advantage. This allows you to think and create effortlessly.
- Make your space colorful and bright: Light and color have a profound impact on one’s mood. They can lift anyone’s spirit in minutes. It is valuable to be in spaces that better and brighten your day. Just as colorful and bright spaces do.
- Bring arts and nature inside: It is a fact that nature and arts inspire creativity. Want to create? Bring in all that will naturally inspire you into your workspace. Also, plants and flowers are astonishingly calming and relaxing.
- Stylishly advertise your creative tools: Placing your work tools is spaces where you can see them is one way to keep yourself on your toes. This way, you are constantly reminded of who you are, what you do, and why you should keep creating. And even when you encounter a creative barrier, displaying your equipment makes it easier for you to snap out of it.
- Buy functional furniture: Discomfort can hinder creativity. If you are creating from a home space, it is important that you invest in furniture that offers comfort and support, as you might be staying there for hours. Creative tasks require concentration and skill. Most times, this can lead to hunching over a table or over bending. If you are in the creator’s category, it is wise that you purchase furniture that supports your posture.
- Personalize your space: Creativity is how we exclusively express our authenticity. Consequently, incorporating a personal touch or feel to your home, is a step closer in ensuring that your creative “tap never runs dry”
