BONUS IDEA! Take a break or make a little every day

While it may sound contradictory, artists work cyclically and it’s important to respect where you are at today, guilt-free. Sometimes you’ll have to give yourself a break. Especially when your mind is clogged up. According to research, taking a break from mental tasks improve creativity (Oppong, 2017). If this break is skipped, it can lead to stress, exhaustion, or a lack of perspective about your own process and intent. You might feel inspired and ideas coming up while taking a break. At that point, your brain is working like it is supposed to, detecting and responding to changes in a working habit. Be sure to take some time off when needed. Conversely, having a practice that puts in a little time every day- even if its something as simple as mixing paint or sketching a cup will cumulatively help you develop your skills and discipline towards a lifetime practice. Have fun- go to a drink and draw, make a painty game of Twister with your significant other, try whatever you think looks like the absolutely dumbest TikTok art challenge, try a craft from your childhood like making snowflakes or a popsicle ornament in July, put on a song in a room where you are alone and move your body in a flow that opens your heart, or make a cardboard sign that says “free social distanced hi-fives” and go have a 15 minutes “performance” on the street corner. One time I had artist block and was stuck in Paris so I hired a model and painted a croissant on her. Why not?!? There are no rules, just get in the flow and have fun.

Conclusion:

Art blocks can be hard to overcome, but remember that you are full of wonderful ideas. Sometimes, you just need that one special something to help bring your imagination out to play. Don’t forget to give your mind some time, and remember to take inspiration from the things you love. If this list happened to get some of your creative juice flowing again, let us know!

Abstract. Creators in the arts, sciences, education, and business speak about how they create in terms that I have broken down into the Seven I's: several types of (1) Inspiration, (2) Imagery, (3) Imagination, (4) Intuition, (5) Insight, (6) Incubation, and (7) Improvisation.

Creators in the arts, sciences, education, and business speak about how they create in terms that I have broken down into the Seven I’s: several types of (1) Inspiration, (2) Imagery, (3) Imagination, (4) Intuition, (5) Insight, (6) Incubation, and (7) Improvisation. I have developed exercises for each of these so that my students can themselves teach them in their classes and practice them in their lives. Inspiration has many types and forms, and so I will devote a whole chapter to the “I” of Inspiration.
