five ways to get out of a creative rut
I. GET YOUR BODY MOVING
Exercise benefits not only your body but your brain and thinking power.
Exercise and creativity go hand and hand. They prime your brain to think and learn. This is because it triggers a protein called BDNF which is like gold for your brain.
II. CLEAN YOUR CREATIVE SPACE
Cleaning your room also clears your head and boosts creativity like no other activity. Whenever you’re cleaning, it’s almost like you enter a state of flow. And before you know it, your space is clean. This can also boost your creativity the same way a shower would.
III. CHANGE IT UP
If you’re feeling creatively blocked and uninspired, changing your routine and environment could help you see things from a new perspective.
IV. SEEK COMMUNITY
When you’re creatively blocked, seek community. Whether you talk to a friend, go to an event, or attend a local play. Participating in your community will likely help you get a new stream of flow and creativity.
V. EMBRACE IT
And sometimes it's beneficial to allow yourself to feel all the feels. By being *presently* in your creative rut, you get to explore it a bit more. And by being able to explore it a bit more, you're able to alchemize it into something ✨ brighter ✨ than you've ever imagined.
