How to destroy creative blocks once and for all

Source

All writers, artists and content creators in general have experienced creative blocks at some moment. It's so easy to get into a maze of questions about what you are creating. You ask yourself if you're using the right words, if the topic is relevant, if anyone will read it. Ifs, ifs and more ifs!

The first thing you should consider to rip apart the spirits of doubt is that no person has ever written anything that is perfect from all points of view. Whatever exists in the creative world is seen as brilliant for some, as it is seen as completely lame by others.

Sure, there are works that have gained the status of classics, but few authors ever lived to see their creations recognized in this way. Nonetheless they all have something in common: they persevered in their evolution as creatives.

They all experimented bright and dark moments, changed constantly and allowed themselves to search non-stop for their most authentic way of expression.

To destroy all blocks and flow into the never ending stream of creativity you have to embrace the idea that everything you do, and I mean EVERYTHING, is part of a bigger work: you.

Who hasn't experienced the biggest of cringes while looking at something they created years ago?

That is the greatest proof of the evolution you've experienced during the time that followed. Your taste has refined, your perspective has widened and your senses are sharper. Congratulations for the level up!

Understand that all the "junk" you might create acts as a sort of compost from where rich fertile soil will come as a result. Be as anxious to create garbage as you are to conjure your life's masterpieces.

In the end, all that you produce mirrors what you are at that moment. So what if it's not lucid? So what if it's unoriginal? The only question you must answer is: "Is it authentic?".

Lose all fear to create, and don't let your creations define you. What is now, won't be tomorrow. Forget about the results of what you are doing, they will not only block you; they will build a gigantic wall, preventing you to see the eternal landscapes of creation.

Now go for it!

Oh I forgot, you can also do drugs.

Just kidding!

Not really...

No, seriously, drugs, alcohol, sex, love, walking, beautiful places, creative people, dreams, meditation, spending time in the dark, mysterious places, silence, noise, music, art, emotions connecting with Nature, life itself!

It's all good fuel, but if you rely on it, then you are still behind the wall. To go beyond, you only need to be yourself.
