If I’m trying to write, but can’t think of what I want to say…
Rather than “look for inspiration” and browse websites, other articles, social media, etc…
I’ll try and force myself to sit with the not knowing.
The mindset is this: we already have an ocean’s worth of insight from the hundreds of thousands of hours we’ve been alive… what we don’t need is a few more drops of inspiration to add to our ocean… what we need is a space that allows us to dive into that ocean so we can (finally) do some proper exploring.
Think scuba diving.
…You don’t see scuba divers browsing social media, scanning websites for inspiration, or asking search engines which direction to go.
Scuba divers dive and explore. With absolutely zero distractions.
And when it comes to all things creative… so should we.
