My brain went on vacation!

Hello, friends welcome to my post in which I have discussed "My brain went on vacation!" as part of my participation in this 👉contest organized by @nanidi

Have you run out of ideas when trying to post on Steemit? Have you felt your mind is completely blank?

Absolutely yes, I have run out of ideas when trying to post on Steemit. This has happened to me many times when I stare at the screen of my laptop and even smartphone, trying to come up with an idea so I can write and post it on Steemit. I feel like I have used up all the ideas I had. As of last week, I feel the same, which was as if my creativity decided to take the day off without letting me know, well this might because I was overstressed up offline having an hectic day. I stare at the screen, looking at the jotter on the table, holding a pen, and robbing hands on my head, thinking of ideas so I can post.

What do you do to break through a creative block? Has it always worked for you, or does it sometimes worsen things? (Maybe you have some tricks.)

Sure it always worked for me and here are my tricks:

• I do write anything that comes to my mind for like 15 minutes or more even if it doesn't make sense. This is because sometimes our ideas hide in the middle of chaos and freewriting is the way out.

• I do go out for a walk or do something new whenever I feel I have lost out of ideas my next move is doing something else.

• I do read other Steemians posts and comments. This helps me to catch a theme or ideas or have the zeal to write.

• I do ask myself a weird question what would my blog look like if I don't post

• I do take a rest the moment I feel I have overstressed myself or have no ideas on what to write.

What was the most absurd idea you had when you wanted to publish, but didn't do it?

It was one day, that I considered writing on a post titled interview with my professor where I imagined what my able professor would say to me about the questions I would have asked him. After reflecting on how the interview would be, I didn't post the post, but I still might post it if I should have the opportunity to discuss it with my able prof again.

Are you feeling creative right now or is your mind blank?

Right now, I would say I am somewhere in between the both. Not fully feeling creative, and not blank either. Right now, it is just as if my brain is foggy with patches of sun, or too full with life challenges. Right now, if someone should give me a spark or a nudge, I am definitely sure the ideas will come, and it is the reason I participated in this particular contest to say how I feel most of the time.

I am inviting: @dove11, @ruthjoe, and @Ihorgic
