Episode 60 - How To Stay Motivated When Your Band Breaks Up


Listen Later

Episode 60
Greetings and thanks again for joining me on the podcast today!
For this episode, I wanted to dive into something that occasionally happens when you’re working in either a band or collaborative project for an extended period of time.
You break up.
I know it can be frustrating, disheartening, sad, and debilitating creatively. Unfortunately working in a group situation can lead to this and that is all part of the creative process.
But how do you stay creative when this happens?
Staying inspired and creative is still key to being an artist and no matter what happens along your creative journey there are always things you can do to keep those creative muscles flexing and in shape.
Doing so can also make you feel like you’re still “in the game” so to speak and get you back up and running on to your next project.
In This Podcast You Will Learn:
1). How band break ups can affect your inspiration and willingness to still create especially if you’ve been vested in the project for a long time.
2). Why it doesn’t matter how you express yourself musically (singer, guitarist, drummer etc), there is always a way to stay motivated during challenging times.
3). The importance of collaborating with someone new and how that can open up new ideas that you never experienced before.
4). How experimenting with new instruments or genres can keep you in an inspirational place and help fuel more creativity outside of what you are used to.
5). Why changing your surroundings by traveling or seeing new places can keep you inspired without you even knowing it.
6). The importance of trying a new creative outlet like drawing or painting can ignite certain feelings of creativity and motivation that you may have forgotten.
7). Why staying active and keeping your motivation alive during transitional periods will help make you a better, more well-rounded artist overall.

Thanks again for checking out this week’s episode. It’s no fun when your creative outlet decides to call it quits. Especially when you’ve dedicated a lot of time and energy to it.
But it happens.
Fortunately, that doesn’t mean the end for you, quite the opposite actually. Finding ways to stay creative as you transition into your next project (whatever that may be) is key to staying connected to your creative side.
I hope that after listening to this episode, you will agree.
Til next episode! Peace N love.
