If once you were caught by an unexpected crisis of ideas - do not despair! Many people in creative professions have already gone through this and have been able to independently increase their creative potential.
Instruction manual
one
Find a creative incentive.
Not every person can directly answer the question of what exactly inspires him. However, if you manage to find an incentive for creativity, then you won’t have to wait for inspiration, because you can always whip up your muse yourself.
2
Surround yourself with perfection and beauty.
There is nothing to be ashamed of if you draw inspiration from other people's successful work. Feel free to study the masterpieces of music and painting, poetry and prose, as well as try to chat with their authors. As Picasso said: "Good artists tend to copy!"
3
Constantly try yourself in a new business.
Do not worry about failure, for example, in painting. Perhaps a real poet is napping in you! You risk never knowing this if you stop expanding your creative potential.
4
Combine incompatible.
Nowadays, you can calmly creatively grow and develop in several areas of life at once. History remembers examples of successful athletes who later went into business or politics, as well as politicians who are interested in writing or painting in their free time.
5
Do not confuse entertainment with creativity.
It is necessary to clearly distinguish between the concepts of "waste of time" and "creative work." Do not allow yourself to waste your time, such as watching TV or reading entertaining articles. It is worth being honest with yourself, recognizing that you can’t find an inspiration in such things, and turn to other, more creative things.
6
Pay attention to health.
Agree that even a day of intense, tortured work is unlikely to be more fruitful than a couple of hours of inspired labor. Be sure to take short breaks in the pursuit of muse, and also follow the signals of your body: if it is very tired and requires a break - do not interfere.
7
Ignore the ills, but listen to criticism.
Expressing yourself, do not forget that you submit to a universal court not only your creativity, but also your point of view, and, therefore, yourself. Do not let the flurry of criticism trample you, listen half-heartedly, skillfully filtering out replicas of ill-wishers and fair remarks.
