When you are experiencing creativity block, it usually means you’re under pressure of some sort. Either pressure from a boss, a client, or yourself. This pressure can cause you to shut down the creative areas of your brain. These areas tend to be a bit more bashful and we have to give them a happy environment to live in.
So next time you’re feeling completely blocked creatively, ease up the pressure you’re placing on the creative inside of you. Give yourself two hours to play around…and tell yourself that not a single idea you come up with in those two hours need to be good or useful. Just have fun coming up with as many random ideas as you can in those two hours.
Chances are, you’ll come up with a very workable and useful idea in those two hours. But try not to analyze any of your ideas until the two hours are up. Even if you stumble upon a good idea early on, you might get a better one later. So keep exploring for the two hours and see what happens. The creative inside of you will be grateful for the space.
