Have you ever heard Ms.Erykah Badu declare, "I'm an artist, and I'm sensitive about my sh**!"? When it comes to flowing through a creative block, picture constipation. I know that sounds ridiculous, but consider this: pushing the block will result in further stagnation. Relax and breathe; you've got this. Allow yourself to flow and think about the ideas that can help you overcome your obstacle. This is one of three suggestions I have for you to help you flow within and, more importantly, through a creative block.

Staying in the dark won't give you night vision when it comes to a creative block. Enter the light to discover inspiration. With everyday pressure already on your mind, take it day by day. You can go outside in nature, to a creative event, or try something new. Even dancing and working out are examples of movement at home that can release pent-up energy. The body is the vehicle for the mind and soul. New experiences and routines are a breeding ground when it's time to get creative and inspired.

Sometimes a shift in perspective is all we need. In what ways can your perception of the world stagnate your creative flow? Comparison may be natural, but it can also be a detriment. Everyone is at different stages and has different backgrounds and experiences that have gotten them to where they are. No one has lived your life, nor do they have the same source as to why they do what they love. You are unique, and the gift you possess as a creative is what makes you different. That includes the ebbs, flows, trials, and tribulations of your individual journey. So next time you feel yourself in a creative block or approaching one, try these tips for your mind, body, and soul. Give yourself grace and allow yourself to flow.

Love and light, Keniya
