Pour essayer au maximum d'avoir des idées pertinentes pour chacun de mes projets de décoration d'intérieur et pour les articles de mon magazine de décoration, j'essaye de faire des coupures avec mon travail pour pouvoir prendre du recul et d'éviter l'overdose. J'alterne entre de la lecture qui me permet de me concentrer sur autre chose mais en faisant quand même travailler mon imagination. J'aime aussi beaucoup cuisiner, c'est une tache qui me demande peu d'effort et qui permet de laisser mon esprit divaguer d'idées en idées sans pression. Bref vous l'aurez compris, choisissez une activité qui vous permet de décompresser. Il faut savoir s'écouter et être indulgent avec soi lorsqu'on n'est pas productif une pause est plus que nécessaire.
Creative burnout occurs for many reasons, but mainly from my experience because the person in particular does not visualize the activities that wear them out, and does not take action on them. Burnout can always be due to accumulated stress, so what needs to be determined would be the elements that introduce stress to the creative. They can come from the work environment, the amount of work, but normally it is a mix and you also have to take into account their personal relationships, their environment and lifestyle habits. If you identify what are generating stress, you will be able to solve them. Sport, rest, friendship, love or good nutrition are always elements that reduce stress, wherever it comes from.
