Are you an artist? Musician? Yogi? Knitter? Everyone’s a little bit creative, and no matter what your outlet for creativity, we can definitely hit snags every now and again. I know I sure do. But here are 29 tips to help keep those creative juices flowing.
  1. Make lists. Write down what you need to do.
  2. Carry a notebook, just in case an idea hits you.
  3. Put the pen to paper and write literally whatever comes to mind.
  4. Step away from the computer (After you read this list!!)
  5. Don’t beat yourself up over snags.
  6. Take a break
  7. Sing in the shower. You’re a regular Yanni.
