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.
- Make lists. Write down what you need to do.
- Carry a notebook, just in case an idea hits you.
- Put the pen to paper and write literally whatever comes to mind.
- Step away from the computer (After you read this list!!)
- Don’t beat yourself up over snags.
- Take a break
- Sing in the shower. You’re a regular Yanni.
- Have a cup o coffee.
- Listen to some good music.
- Be open to new ideas.
- Surround yourself with lots of creative people.
- Get feedback! Don’t keep stuff bottled up.
- Collaborate with other creative people (see #11).
- Never give up. Never surrender.
- Practice your art. You’re never too much of a master to practice.
- Don’t beat yourself up over mistakes. Let ’em happen.
- Try taking a trip someplace you’ve never been.
- Remember what blessings you have.
- Don’t keep yourself up all night. Get plenty of sleep!
- Take a risk now and then.
- Break those stupid rules.
- Don’t force your creativity. It’ll come.
- Read a page out of a book.
- Create the framework for future success.
- Don’t try to be anyone else, and definitely don’t strive for perfection.
- Write down your ideas! (see #2)
- Clean up your work space.
- Always remember to have fun doing what you do.
- Finish one of the tasks you’re working on.
I’m definitely going to try some of these the next time I feel blocked.
