Finding Creative Motivation
How do you stay motivated to create content?
☝🏻 I’m genuinely curious how you all do it but a few of you have also asked me this question so I’m going to answer here too!
Simply, I don’t. 🤷🏼♀️
However, when I’m feeling reeeeeeally bogged down in the creative department I always start with the question, what’s affecting my motivation or taking away from my creativity?
Sometimes it’s the comparison game so I take a weekend off of socials. Right, now I’m struggling with reels so I didn’t post any for a couple weeks and didn’t even watch em. I have no clue what’s trending and slowly I can feel my excitement for them coming back.
Sometimes I’m creating too much or trying to create to much and I have to recognize that I hit a wall and I need to take a step back.
And if it’s neither one of those things it’s usually a case of needing to find new inspiration so I start digging around online looking for art that makes me feel something and thinking about different concepts I can bring into what I do when I create content.
