How to Always Defeat Your Creative Block

There’s nothing worse than wanting to create, but not having the inspiration to create. Sometimes it feels like being stuck in the middle of a highway with no hope of getting rescued.  But no worries! We have you covered. Here are three ways to defeat your creative block.

1. Plan Ahead

Take some time to consider what you want to create. If it is something you already know how to do, go ahead and get your materials together. There’s nothing worse than wanting to create and being plagued with too many decisions. When you are ready to create, start with the projects for which you have materials you have on hand.

2.Tidy Up Your Workspace

When I am feel stuck in my craft life, I take a few minutes to tidy up my workspace. It not only inspires me when my space is clean, it also allows me to see the tools and materials I have. Typically, once I can actually see what I have, inspiration is soon to follow.  

3.Always Show Up!

One of the worse things we can do during creative blocks is to quit. This means that even when the ideas are not flowing, I still suggest that you show up. Maybe you won’t love the first or second thing you create, but one thing is sure: As you show up, inspiration will find her way into your craft room, into your mind and eventually, she will show up in your creation. 

If crafting is a part of your business, then you definitely cannot afford to wait for inspiration to show up. You can show up expecting to get fresh ideas, fresh inspiration- show up and start working. Think of it this way, if our creative block is a wall, then we must be climbing in order to get over the wall. Staying inactive keeps us stuck and will not enable us to scale the wall.
