How do you overcome creative blocks? Where do you find your inspiration to create?

Question

What is your process for overcoming creative blocks?

Answer 1

I write about what I love and about what I hate.

I also write down ideas that come to me during the day and stash them in my wallet or backpack.  When I need something to inspire me, I dig through my notes until I find one that excites me.

Music also helps.

Answer 2

Real inspiration comes from the soul. The best methods for getting into potent contact with that part of you, traditionally, are those that quiet the mind, and balance out your being, generally: regular exercise, meditation, yoga, chi kung, etc.   Whatever calms you and facilitates good internal energy flow.    Good luck !!

Answer 3

overcome it icant even find it

Answer 4

I find that it usually reflects a conflict between where I think I should go and where I want to go...I find its best handled indirectly rather than head on. You can't make yourself find the inspiration.

Think of inspiration as a puppy. If you try to hold on and constrain its movment, it is not going to want to come. It will only come and play when it feels free.
