So what should be done in these moments when we feel uncreative? Do we just sit around waiting for the moment to pass? This article reveals the solution.

1. Uncreativity Could Present A
Big Opportunity

2. So you have been told that creativity is
the elixir of life, and that you must
channel your creativity to surge ahead!
There is no doubt about it. Creativity is
a blessing, and we must all do our very
best to use it to its full capacity.

3. But just as that is true, it is also
impossible to be creative all the time.
There will be some “uncreative”
moments in life as well that will be
challenging. But that does not mean
that you have to beat yourself up when
your creative thinking skills get
drained.

4. In the wise words of Etty Hillesum,
“One must also accept that one has
uncreative moments. The more
honestly one can accept that, the
quicker these moments will pass.”

5. The Period of Lull.

6. While we all have the capacity to be
creative, there are phases of lull that hit
us all. These are the times when
creativity goes flying out of the
window, and we feel hollow and empty
inside.

7. More often than not, the reason for this is
much more deeply rooted than it comes
across to be. Most of the time, we tend
to take these moments lightly and just
sit around wasting our time, feeling
worthless inside.

8. This makes it difficult to concentrate on
our respective work, let alone give it our
best shot!

9. So what should be done in these
moments when we feel uncreative? Do
we just sit around waiting for the
moment to pass? Well that is what we
do anyway, don’t we? But why should
we do that? Haven’t we been told time
and time again that wasted time never
returns? Why then should we waste our
precious time on this earth? So what
indeed is the solution? Here it is...

10. We need to do a physical and mental
recharge! Yes! Just like the latest
gizmos that we use 24x7, our bodies,
minds and souls need to be recharged
once in a while.

11. How to Do a Physical and Mental
Recharge.

12. Feeling uncreative is a perfectly natural
process. And the first step towards it is
acceptance. Cut yourself some slack
when you are feeling uncreative. This is
the time to break away from the
workload at hand and do something
that you really enjoy.

13. Take a short vacation if possible. If that
does not seem likely, you can always
recharge by doing simple things like
spending time with your family,
catching up with friends or just curling
up with a good book (if socialising is
not up your alley).

14. Uncreative moments are also the time for
self-introspection. Are you feeling
uncreative, because you are truly
exhausted or is there a bigger reason
why you feel unhappy? Is it possible
that the course of life that you have
chosen is making you unhappy and
therefore you feel like you cannot give it
your best shot?

15. If that is the case, you must take some
action about it, and take it now! Most
of us spend a lion share of our lives
living someone else's dream, and
believe that this is what we are meant
to do. But deep in our hearts, we know
that our true potential lies elsewhere.

16. If you are doing something similar,
you’ve got to jolt yourself into action,
and change the course which life seems
to have taken you.

17. Believe in yourself, and believe in your
dreams. Only then will you have the
courage to move ahead and achieve
your goals in life. There is no
alternative to this. It is completely in
your hands to be happy! If happiness is
what you truly seek, make yourself
happy by doing what your heart
desires.
