I have read articles before about the ups and downs of the creative mind and figured I’d write my two cents about the subject, since I’m experiencing a down right now. Making the assumption that every creative mind from time to time experiences low points, we need to preform to the best of our ability. So how do we pop out of this and start the flow of creative energy again… Well for everyone its different, whether is be surfing the web for inspiration, reading an article in your favorite magazine, or just some inspirational words from a co-worker, significant other or friend.

Creativity is a flow that only comes when all other thoughts are put aside. The best work is done when the mind is clear and focus is tuned to the task at hand. When all energies are lined up the creativity flows through your fingertips onto the computer screen or whatever the creative outlet.

So what if your sitting, looking at that blank page and nothing comes to mind… Embrace the white space and feel free to play around. Maybe nothing will solidify into something substantial, but something I learned from one of my professors at college is to never throw anything away and save often! Apple + S is your friend. You can throw up creative garbage all over your canvas one day then organize it into a master piece the next, its all about state of mind. The clearer your thoughts the clearer your creative will output onto the canvas.

Something that people don’t know about creative people is that we like to feel inspired and love to create, at least if we love what we do. The quality of end product justifies the energy infused into the project. Take the time to clear out your frustrations and streamline creative energies, you’ll be glad you did and will benefit from the creative clarity.
