It is okay to say that everyone has one or two problems in life. Most times someone could have lots of finances but then he or she might be having another problem, maybe a health problem, family problem, or even psychological problems. So people shouldn’t be ashamed of whatever problems they are having as life isn’t a bed of roses and we can’t have everything. Problems have a way of showing up one way or another. Especially unplanned.
If there is one major problem I am having now, then it is Creativity block and writer’s block. Most times I feel super stuck and struggle to come up with new ideas. I feel like there is a wall and then I can’t get through it instead I feel like I am hitting this wall over and over again. At first, I experienced writer’s block but then when I started learning how to design I found out that there is something called creativity block and I have been experiencing it.
Most days when I experience this it makes me procrastinate which is something I hate doing as I do not want it to be part of me. I open my laptop sometimes and I get to stare at the screen for more than an hour with nothing flowing through. I realize this particular block has been emerging over and over again. At first, I just got to experience it once in a while but these days it has become consistent and it is getting me worried.
The first time it happened, I thought maybe I was stressed and needed to get my brain on track. I took a break and relaxed but then when it kept coming back I became so scared. I got to realize that it wasn’t about my stress but then I can’t understand the main reason why it has been consistent as it is frustrating and it is affecting my work process.
A few days back, I had an assignment I needed to work on, when I saw the assignment, I knew it would take me a few hours to get it done and have it submitted. Well, Creative Block had another plan for me. I have made my timetable as usual and planned my day, when it was time to get on with my assignment, I made sure I had my lunch so I didn’t get hungry and lose interest. Well opening my laptop, I kept staring at the questions over and over again.
My problem was that I knew how to go about designing this assignment but I couldn’t start, I felt I was blank at this point, and I kept asking myself if I didn’t know it. After several hours of trying to get my mind to work and it couldn’t I had to close the laptop and go for a walk. I felt much better after work and I was able to relax. I have found out that taking a work could help but I haven’t been able to sort the problem of constant Creativity block and Writer’s block.
Yes, I want to write and design but then I can’t do anything as I am stuck and my brain isn’t functioning at that point. This has become and major problem and I am hoping I can resolve it soon and get back to my proper working self. I know I will get through it but then I don’t know how because it has been consistent and I feel the more it comes, the more scared I am.
