Combating a Creative Slump

Frozen Mind

I have kept myself basically connected to the art of Blogging through the Daily Prompts alone (which I generally do waiting for the bus). But I feel like I have so much I want to write about, so much to share and express. Yet the words are not there.

It’s not just my writing that feels flat, my painting,  creating,  crafting,  model making. Everything that brings me joy is left neglected. And I do not know why. 

It’s like I want to feel something again and I don’t know what, or how?

You can’t just magically reappear inspiration from nowhere and I’m actually thinking that what my soul and body needs right now is some guilt free rest.

Even if it means neglecting some pesky chores,  having a ready meal, or simply reading my book. I need to say NO to doing too much and find some peace in being lazy.

Creative Slumps don’t always last forever and as frustrating as they can be, these slumps can also be a message. To slow down and relax. Which I really struggle with, perhaps I need to be more like the cat?

Find a warm spot in the sunshine and have a nap …

What public figure do you disagree with the most?

Good Question… However…

I’ve never met a public figure in a social situation whereupon I can openly converse with in order to determine whether I agree or disagree with them. For people are more than their opinions, opinions shift and change as a person develops.  Also, what if I agree with some of their personal philosophy,  but not other aspects that they support. What if they don’t agree with me?

A public figure has a public persona and I doubt they are the same person in private. So how am I supposed to judge?

What is your career plan?

Seriously?

I’m like 50, I don’t have a career plan, I’ve never had a career plan. I have a job, a poorly paid job that I actually love. That is why I’m not interested in a career, work goals, executive ladder or all that BS. Because I have a job I love and that’s more important than any career.
