Tip #1 – and perhaps one of the most crucial tips in our opinion. The importance of this goes beyond all the sections below. Never let yourself get discouraged and never give up on yourself. Everyone gets down and may feel bad about themselves or their creations. Let’s try and understand the ‘creative rut’. Think of a time when you were going through this, or maybe you are currently experiencing this. Now, think back to right before you entered this dreaded state. Analysing the time right before your rut began may give you some insight or answers/pointers on how to prevent this from happening in the future. 

When you are feeling down about your creations and not giving yourself the credit you deserve, it is often reflected on how much power you give your mind to enter the creative state. If you are feeling bad about yourself and the things you are creating, then you are most likely going to feel discouraged, unmotivated, and uninspired. These feelings can become overwhelming and often leak out into multiple other areas of your life, leaving you feeling drained, resulting in a lack of creative ability. 

Although it is easier said than done, remaining positive and motivated will help you tremendously when keeping those creative juices flowing. However, this is not the only way to do this. You have to actively keep more than one thing in mind when making a true effort. Trust us, it is less exhausting than it sounds! Let’s look at a few other methods to keep open to consideration.
