What to do when your brain gets stuck. Stuck like sludge. You need a topic sentence for your English paper or your mid-book and NOTHING. Nothing comes. You sit at your computer and wonder where all the creativity went. Is there such thing as a mind-leak? Can your creative juices dry up, gone without notice?
Well, have faith. While being stuck feels like forever. It’s not. My advise. Walk away. Put the homework down and clean your room (you’ll definatley get a huge thumbs-up from your mom) or dig into the cupboard for brain food in the shape of a cookie, perhaps. Me, I go for a walk with my dogs. Around the block, around the neighborhood, around the reservoir. Whatever it takes to lose the I-can’t-do-this thoughts . Because, in the end, you can do this, you haven’t lost your creativity, and your ingenuity will flow once more. Have faith.
So, the next time your stuck, just walk away. Not forever, just for a bit. And when you return, you’ll be ready. Ready to write, ready to create, ready to begin again!!!
I’d love to hear your tips for getting unstuck!
