You’re a creative professional who’s feeling stuck. How can you reignite your passion for your work?

To give you an idea about how to get out of being stuck, you need to get out of the project first. Sounds weird right? But if you’re cooped up in the project, you need to get out of it first, because ideas flows, it doesn’t grow. You need to follow the flow to get the ideas. Talking to people, observing the world, having a cuppa, these all may help you relieve the stress that is causing you to be stuck

Two things. 1: I often think of this as "method acting". Just be the biggest sponge you can be! 2. Research is over when you are going in circles. An example: Before working on a new client, I immerse myself in everything the brand stands for: I read as much as I can, check all the social media, read the comments, click on the profiles of the people who are commenting, watch videos, listen to their music - anything that happens in their consumers' world. The less surprising and repetitive things become in that world, the more I know I am on the right track. From there, new ideas just flow naturally! ?? And the more you do it, the better you get at it.

How to seek inspiration while you’re stuck? That’s a question I’m still trying to answer. Sometimes I get the answers, sometimes I don’t. But I’ll try my best to tell you how to get the inspiration mood Ideas flow. They don’t grow. It’s like the 9 muses from the Greek Myths. If you feel like you’re not getting inspired? that’s because you are not focusing on yourself first. Focusing on yourself is one of the ways you start seeking inspiration. You are the inspiration. You are the one who gets inspired by you. Other things is we think complicated ideas for simple things. Try to put a simple idea. Cause if life gives you lemonade, make a lemon out of it

Experimentation is one of the most important part when it comes to creating a creative plan. Everything that we do is an experimentation. Including a caption is an experimentation. Getting out of the brand’s comfort zone is what experimentation is. But not all brands are ready for that. If you can’t convince them, leave it. It’s not worth the shot if they’re not okay with it But if they do accept the idea, we gotta give our all in this. Make sure that they are happy that they chose our idea. Of course we learn a lot from the experimentation process, but at the same time, we have to responsible enough to hear what the client says too

In challenging situations, my sense of being stuck often stems from either emotional or physical obstacles. When we grapple with both mental and physical health issues, the impact on our cognitive processes becomes apparent, significantly influencing our creative professionalism. Recognizing this, a simple solution lies in allowing ourselves the freedom to take a day off, engaging in straightforward and technical activities. Embracing this respite is crucial, as rest proves to be a rejuvenating force for creative professionals. Continuously pushing ourselves without breaks amounts to self-punishment, and it's more beneficial to proactively avoid this cycle.
