can't access creativity when you're chronically tired, stressed or distracted? Here's what helps ideas to generate spontaneously.
Capacity
Consistent short & long term decision-making helps you to create the time and energy needed for creativity to unfold and develop. Healthy routines (rest, diet, movement & play) are an essential part of this. Motivation and inspiration come from those who share or support your passion, and being open to opportunities for synergy can lead to meaningful collaborations.
Space
A dedicated room or space - with good light - encourages and nurtures creativity.
A non-judgmental approach
You can’t block ‘bad’ ideas without also blocking ‘good’ ideas, and lots of ‘bad’ ideas turn into something surprising under different conditions. There is freedom & strategy in disconnecting from the perfection of the desired outcome when you're jotting down the raw draft. Self-compassion, hope & patience are part of being non-judgmental; they carry you through the dry spells.
