She spent her lifetime living in a bubble. She woke up under her blankets. She jumped into her clothes. She rushed to her car. She put on her sunglasses. She worked in an office. She lived in a house. She lived in unending shelter–a bubble–cut off from the world.
The world is a loud place. The noise can get numbing. Zombies are numb. And zombies aren’t creative. When you find yourself numb—or experiencing creative block—it’s important to change things up. So why don’t you try shutting down the noise for a little bit to allow your brain to think?
Sometimes our creative blocks come from narrow thinking. We live in a very broad and spacious world. But when we get too focused on one aspect of the world, we get tunnel vision.
