How’s Your Creativity Doing These Days?

~ humoringthegoddess

Another Saturday morning — another chance to dip into the Creativity well. Although these past few weeks the well has run dry.

I know that inspiration is a circular thing. Kind of like mood swings. Or menopause.

I digress.

Do you ever get into a creative lull? A gap in energy, insight and enthusiasm? I’m certain many of us do. One time or another. And with Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner, there is often more important things to “get creative” with.

I’ve been on the slow-moving-switch-to-Christmas-decorating bandwagon lately. I have been sending  messages to my subconscious asking it to start working on a Christmas decorating theme for this year. 

Nowhere in my chilly outside future are there thoughts of painting, Angel Tears, or coloring Mandalas with fine tipped pens.

Yet, cleaning up and out my library/craft room, I felt a tingle of excitement putting away my coloring books and crystal tear drops.

That’s why I know that it won’t be long until I undertake my Creativity journey once again. 

Perhaps we all need time off for side trips — Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas concerts. Visiting family members and friends. Having a hot chocolate with exercise buddies or brunch with cousins. Spending a quiet evening with someone special.

If you feel like you’ve lost it, you haven’t. Not in the least.

Take a bit of time to re-energize your aura.

Creative people are so from birth. You can never lose what will always be a part of you.

  3. I appreciate you sharing where you are and the journey you’re on! I think that it’s way too easy to judge ourselves entirely too harshly.

    Everyone is creative, each in their own way, and that presentation of creativity presents itself differently in different seasons.

    Just because you don’t find yourself creating in the way you “expect” to, don’t sell your creativity short, celebrate the ways you still create, dream, and iterate i all areas of your life!

    1. Thank you! I know I’ve suffered from lagging to almost non-existence creative energy, which sometimes worries me, but there’s always that little flame burning steadily, waiting for the next flare-up. While I’m at a low, I still send creative ideas to my subconscious — it holds an amazing pile of creative “stuff”!

  7. That’s made me feel a lot better! I hadn’t thought of creativity as cyclical, but it makes sense, and it’s good to know that the dry times will pass. Thank you. 🙂

  9. Yes, I’ve been in a lull. And you’re right: “Perhaps we all need time off for side trips —-” Just gets a little bumpy on this road sometimes. Need to get back on track. Thanks for the encouragement.
