Trying to be innovative is hard especially when you had a kickback. Your neurons need new connections so what do you do? You stop staring at the work of others you always look at and go outside. Preferably in another city. Look around you but don’t pay too much attention. Go to the cool places. The crazy coffee bar you discovered. Or a strange statue or piece of art. But also the normal things around you. Go home sleep eat repeat and back to work. Now you can associate with new facts and figures. See what happens

1. Reconnect with your why. 2. Try something new. 3. Set small goals. 4. Seek outside inspiration. 5. Remember past wins. 6. Be kind to yourself. 7. Lean on support. 8. Experiment freely.

Creativity is a mindset! Even the setbacks reminds us of what is important! These obstacles we face on our journey, is a reminder to us to work deeply on fortifying our strengths in certain areas and focusing on how we can overcome our shortcomings. The task is simple: do something different everyday. So if you like to write, replace writing with something else something more creative. A short break from what we usually do is the remedy to ignite our creativity!

1. Embrace self-compassion and focus on your wellbeing: setbacks can be discouraging and may lead to a cycle of negativity. The most crucial aspect is to refrain from being your own harshest critic (I often fail at this). 2. Remember that this too shall pass: Shift your perspective and remind yourself that difficulties are temporary. Reflect on the progress you've made in past projects and reconnect with the feelings of accomplishment. 3. Engage in non-work-related activities that kindle your creativity (photography is my thing!). Inspiration often strikes unexpectedly, particularly when one is relaxed. By alleviating pressure, you can unlock creativity and inspiration again!

Wenn ich für mein Projekt brenne, dann kann die "Jetzt-erst-recht-Methode" das Feuer wieder entfachen. Sog. "Rückschl?ge" k?nnen allerdings auch wichtige Hinweise geben, zum Beispiel sich mehr Zeit zu nehmen, andere Dinge in Betracht ziehen etc. Es kann aber auch echt gut tun, das Ganze mal ruhen zu lassen und zur Seite zu legen.
