What do you do if you're struggling to overcome creative blocks and find inspiration?

Take a proper break and expose yourself to things that you don't normally do. You'll find out more about yourself and your capabilities when you are challenged.

daydream as often as you can, this will help you to process not just your thoughts and idea, but also, and most importantly will allow the new ones to come in.

A few things I've found helpful is get out in nature. For me going walking in the mornings while it's quiet, allows my brain to wander. Another thing is doing some kind of exercise to get some energy moving. I do a lot of martial arts, for me its a meditative, and allows me to find solutions and connect the dots on ideas.

In my experience, it is important to remember creativity lives within you because of your unique thought process. Your environment is what fuels your thought process. If you experience creative blocks, I recommend changing your routine: > Work in a new location for a day or two > Take a new route to work in the morning while listening to music you haven't heard in a while > Wear attire that makes you feel confident, like a nice suit or business dress > And exercise / sweat to reset your brain If you work in corporate, its easy to mesh creativity with efficiency - but even the most creative people cannot produce top ideas on the fly every day. Ideas bloom when your mind is stimulated - switch it up, relax and watch the magic happen!

El cerebro inconsciente se activa cuando estamos haciendo cosas que nada tienen que ver con el problema o bloqueo que queremos resolver. Puedes tomar una ducha y cantar las canciones de tu adolescencia, leer un libro, salir a caminar escuchando musica, intentar copiar una canción con algún instrumento. Aunque mi favorita es la tecnica del Patito de Goma, debes explicarle a un patito de goma el problema, y simular una conversación, te prometo que esto ultimo es muy util y divertido

Facing creative blocks? I see it as a sign, not a barrier. You need to learn how to ride into the unfamiliar; your comfort zone is not your friend here. Engage with art, nature, or activities that challenge you. Write daily, even if it's nonsense. Connect with fellow creatives; their journeys can spark ideas in you. Creativity thrives on constraints. Use your block as a stepping stone, not a stumbling block. It is very important to know and always remember that Inspiration is a by-product of doing.

Una forma de cambiar la perspectiva es utilizando los sombreros de la personalidad de Edward de Bono, por ejemplo el Sombrero Negro es el pesimista, que pensaria una persona pesimista. Puedes hacer tu propio sombrero, por ejemplo, si tuvieras 1 millon de dolares como lo resolverias? La ultima es ponerse en la piel de un gran lider o persona inteligente. Que haria Steve Jobs para resolver el problema?

Shifting your perspective on what you are doing and trying to complete is a good practice within limitations as needed. Flexibility has a place in determining how you manage the big picture versus small picture concepts. Shifting a concept to another way of looking at an action, there can be a new way of designing a more progressive idea.

Utilizar aquello que en innovación se llama: Ignorancia Creativa. Afrontar los nuevos desafíos con ignorancia, con inocencia intelectual, y a la vez con creatividad, proporciona nuevas soluciones para afrontar los nuevos problemas. El gran desafío de los expertos en diferentes temáticas es lograr "descontaminarce" de todo aquello que ya sabe, para encontrar nuevos conocimientos. No sumergirse demasiado profundo en el agujero del conocimiento, pues en la profundidad no hay luz para las nuevas invenciones.

It is somewhat a cliché but after hundreds of scope definition sessions teaching project management, I can ensure that 4 people planning together using post its for a Work Breakdown Structure generates the creativity and quality of 4 x 4 = 16 creative brains. 15 years seeing that and still astonishes me. Teamwork without politics and egos is the best path to unblock any stalled creativity.

Las metodologías STEAM, aquellas que combinan la Ciencia, la Tecnología, la Ingeniería, el Arte, y las Matemáticas, son extremadamente poderosas. La transdisciplinaridad ofrece nuevas soluciones a los nuevos problemas, focalizando en desarrollar la Imaginación que precede al conocimiento. Como decía Albert Einstein: la Imaginación es más poderosa que el Conocimiento, el Conocimiento tiene límites, mientras que la Imaginación no.

Positive feedback is valued within a working team or group. Growth happens when a listening ear has the ability to hear and receive constructive criticism from another person or individual. Hearing and listening to criticisms from others does not mean there has to be a shift if it does not apply to them specifically. Allowing some conceptual changes to occur may be a delight of growth and development.

Explicale el problema a un ni?o, o un anciano, o alguien que no tenga idea de como resolverlo, a medida que avances en las explicaciones vas a integrar nuevas ideas.

As a musician setting small goals have, importance. For example, a concert effort and objective includes, practice planning, preparation of actions of what to play, practice time inclusive to concert date, and finale. This listing involves goals and objectives for performance.

I have found writing all that I need to get done very helpful. I make a list of everything, and once each task is done I mark it off the list. This helps me feel better about myself and stay away from thoughts that 'I am not doing enough'. Even when I have not ticked off a specific item off the list, at least I can look at all the other small achievements and not beat myself up about that one thing. Not everything will get done at the time I want because life happens sometimes, but what matters is that it will get done, eventually.

Dividir para conquisar puede ser una forma, pero muchas veces es demasiado directo, te recomiendo resolver un problema similar aunque distinto, busca el adyacente posible. Otra cosa es no resuelvas el problema, intenta empeorarlo al 1000% como seria?

Note: Changing work environments are a good practice as needed and may be used for specific subjects of work being done. I like the mentioning of creative thoughts expanding, by discovering new ideas.

Rearranging my room has always helped me with my creativity and getting work done. Having a different looking and positioned work station can be very exciting, you feel like you are in a new place. Plus you get excited to get some work done. Sometimes spending time in nature can be great inspiration, you get to tap into different dimensions of your creativity.

Find a new lens or framework to look through- there are so many out there- spending time to find a few will aid in creating a new angle, a new perspective and new thoughts. Particularly seek out frameworks that are not necessarily linked to the challenge you are facing and from different disciplines

Your creative block is there for a reason. Try to connect playfully but profoundly with it, in order to learn from it. E.g. Visualise it: if it were a creature, what would it look like, sound like, act like? Write out an imaginary dialogue with it: what does it want you to know? What does it need from you? Draw it, choose or create a piece of music that resonates with it. Turn the block itself into creative inspiration. This will give you a source of play that can bring you back into creative flow - and might also teach you something about what is holding you back.

Exercise. Get out of your head Get out the office and your environment and exercise and forget about it all. Allow your mind to relax. It’s in that moment you should reconnect with what you need to get what you need done.

Creative block is self-imposed. So that means there is no such thing. Ask yourself this question, “what do I want to be doing instead of being stuck in this hell?” Go and do that. And give it your 100% attention. Then do another thing that is truly valuable to you, such as walking your dog, reading a book, or having a good conversation with a friend. Do anything that makes you joyful, and before you know it, the idea or ideas will flow to you naturally. You must play as an adult in order to be creative. Be curious. Keep a small notepad in your back pocket so that you can draw, doodle, or write down what you observe. Observe everything and find the beauty in it. This is your solution.

If stuck… accept our human limitations and ask for help. There are M-A-N-Y types: >Human: ie, other brains (especially in trained groups) >focus on the Formal Creative Process itself >Tools (that shift our focus and allow thinking out of the hole) >incubation (individual) >idea-provocaron sessions >move to a higher strategic view of the problem being solved >redefine the problem >take a break >force creative provocations >and so forth. but start by being humble and reach out.
