Sometimes I just can’t come up with good ideas. But sometimes I’m just lazy. I could come up with something…I just don’t want to put in the effort. I think this is the source of most of our creative blocks. The key to overcoming these blocks is just powering through them.
This is the scene I’ve lived through thousands of times. I sit down to my computer to create. I just don’t feel like creating–sometimes even for things I’m excited about. So I check my email, Facebook, Twitter… Eventually I’ve exhausted all forms of procrastination so I stare at the screen.
How do I break myself out of this funk?
Shake. I sit there. I grab myself internally. And I shake myself. “Create!” I start typing. I start creating shapes. I hum a song. I do something to get myself going.
Creation start by doing something. That’s the only thing necessary for creation to occur. Don’t wait for some ethereal concept to happen…it won’t come. You control the destiny of your creativity. Make it happen. Shake yourself into action.
A Lot of times you just have to start and see what blossoms out of it!
True that!
