Hey Doreen!

I’m sure you are not alone with this 😀 I know the feeling all too well… Noone can be creative all the time, sometimes its weeks and even months and then one day it hits you like a storm! Boredom is one of the most creative energies… 😉

I guess there are just times in life when creative energy is low. It’s totally ok to do nothing at all, to just be and do whatever feels right, even if it is not productive. We are so under pressure to do something productive or meaningful.. but really, if you would die tonight, you would probably say “what the hell, I’m just gonna play games and eat pizza till its over!”
The body and the mind need time off. One could argue whether gaming really gives it that time, or whether its just another form of entertainment that keeps it busy so you don’t have to think.

I don’t really know your life situation, or why you feel the need to be creative, but another reason why creativity might stall is because you put too much pressure on it. Sometimes we procrastinate because we have so high ecpectations and are afraid we won’t be able to fulfill them… if we don’t start anything, we can’t fail! Takes the fun out of it, too.
I suffered from that a lot, now I don’t aim for anything, I go weeks without doing anything and then I try to do stuff only if I really want it. That’s a lot more fun!

Whatever it is, I would say try to take the pressure of, do whatever you feel like and don’t feel bad for it, it will come back! Some non-productive off-time in nature might help as well to really let the mind wander and give you a clearer feeling of what you want and need…
