Listen. You have the skills, you’re just lacking the inspiration. People have so many things they want solved, or to see, or to experience. Listen to what people say at work, at the coffee shop, at parties, wherever. Ask yourself afterwards what you thought about their desires, were they superficial, shallow, meaningful, insightful..? Did their thought or question resonate with you? If it did then try creating something in some way that relates to that question. Alternatively just sit down, with a piece of paper, stare at it, and just make a mark on it, then another, then another. If you get a giant pile of scribbles grab another piece of paper and do the same. Try arranging them all together to see if you see something that means something to you. Frequently artists draw things not even realizing they were drawing what they drew. Lastly, if all else fails, just let go. Set your intention, that you want to create something, then surrender to life and put that intention in the back of your mind and forget about it. At some point in the future that thought will pop back into your mind out of nowhere with some sort of solution. Finally, be gentle with yourself. No one is a perfect creator that has never struggled. Give yourself the space to learn, grow, and to find the things, people, and experiences that inspire you. |
