How to Overcome a Creative Block [6]

Published: Feb. 26, 2019, 8 a.m.

We can all recognise this sorry state of affairs, and it\u2019s not fun! We discuss the difference between procrastinating, being temporarily frozen, or being truly blocked. Is a real block caused by a disconnect  between what you \u2018want\u2019 and what you are actually doing? Is it a result of losing your connection with your deeper self? While a pause is OK - and sometimes needed and necessary - we come up with some questions to ask yourself. And potentially two different ways you get get inspired again by leaning in and investigating.
