Creativity & Motivation: The Rule of Ebb & Flow
Posted by: Pisces0lya on Aug 09, 2010
As fun and exciting the times with inspiration are, there comes the time when one needs to re-energize, regroup and just be. Just like the saying about courage " Courage comes and goes, hold on till next supply." Inspiration and zest come and go too. It's the rule of ebb and flow in life. The important thing is not to get discouraged. Keep in mind that it shall pass and you will be back at your sunny creative self in no time.
There is one more thing to remember though. Yes, it's good to know that the creativity, energy, motivation, zest for life and other positive aspects that maybe be missing at the moment will come back, however it's not an excuse to indulge in negativity, laziness and depression until then. Be gentle with yourself. Try doing smaller projects instead, squeeze a bit of that work out in your day, or read a few pages of "Positive Quotes". Waiting for that muse or motivation to appear might take longer than you think so try to still keep pace at what you're working on. You never know, that inspiration might just come rushing to you while you're making some progress with baby steps :)
