My Artsy Advice for the Day!
Good morning,
Just a quick thought as I zip off to the office this morning!
When I find that I am suffering from artist block and the creative process just seems to be stuck, these are some of the steps I take to get unstuck!
- Step away from what you are trying to work on. I once heard that Albert Einstein used to go to the movies whenever he was stuck with an idea, and usually half way through the movie he would have to leave because the idea would just hit him without him even trying.
- Go for a relaxing walk. Fresh air, nature – nothing could be more rejuvenating for the soul.
- Commit to something smaller – a post it note is way less intimidating than a large blank canvas. Once your creative muscles start flexing again, then your original project might flow better.
- Doodle.
- Pare down the supplies at your disposal for this project – sometimes too many choices can hinder your progress.
- Put on some fun or inspiring music to help change your mood.
- Sleep on it! Sometimes my best art work has come after a great nap, or an even better night’s sleep.
Just remember to hang in there! We all suffer from artist block every now and then, but not to worry! Before you know it, you will be back to creating up a storm in no time!!
I would love to see your work sometime!! Post a link in the comment section and I will be happy to see what you’ve been up to! Please don’t forget to subscribe.

If you want to have a different life, you have to live differently!!
