Feeling Stuck? Break Out of Artist's Block + Build a Consistent Practice

Listen Later

In this episode, we’re talking about getting out of (and staying out of) a creative rut. You may be feeling stuck, uninspired, or like you simply don’t have enough time in the day to develop a consistent practice around your art and creativity. In this episode we talk about why you’re feeling this way, how to honor these feelings, and how to work through them so you can get back to what you want to do: create. None of the generic “go for a walk” or “try something new” advice that every “how to get out of a creative rut” list provides. This episode is filled with tactical advice to build a program around your creativity that will help you develop persistence, devotion, and consistency.
