If you’re creative to some capacity, then I’m sure you know the pain of hitting a roadblock where you feel like you have nothing left in you to give the world. It’s as if your ideas have all dried up, or you might just be in a mood where inspiration is hard to come by. Like you, I can attest to coming across these feelings in the last few months, especially with all the shifts and changes the world keeps growing into. Although it has been challenging, these times have pushed me to reexamine how I approach my creative process as it grows and evolves with me.
Many of us have come to understand just how much the habits of our “old normal” were slowly eating away at our overall wellbeing. The change of pace that we underwent as a collective revealed just how burned out we were and how unbalanced our work-life balance had become. This reset turned out to be the blessing in disguise that many of us needed to realign with a new depth that our creativity led us into. It’s not that we can no longer create at the capacity that we did before; it’s just that we know now that rest is needed in between.
