5 Ways to Get Out of a Creative Block

Creative blocks are always challenging, especially when your job depends on it. While overcoming a creative block depends on each person, there are several ways to beat it. 

Step Outside in Nature

Going back to the basics is best. And that means taking time to step outside and enjoy nature. You’ll be able to find different motifs, see the world both big and small, and hopefully find inspiration for your next creative project out in the wild. 

Digital Detox: Shut off the Phone

In today’s day and age, we might find ourselves scrolling endlessly on our fellow creatives' Instagram feeds or social media feeds in hopes of inspiration. Instead, get off the phone, desk, computer, stretch and walk around.

Fill a Page with Random Brainstorming

Let your thoughts out. Start with an empty page and fill the page with ideas, both good and bad. Random brainstorming encourages ideas that can be wild at first but can develop into amazing ideas. 

Do Something Out of Your Comfort Zone

Sometimes we need to think outside of the box, so do something out of your comfort zone! 

Talk to Other Creatives

Talk to other creatives! When talking to other creatives, you’ll have an opportunity to pass ideas, thoughts, and even their own ways they get out of a creative block.
