Conquering the Writing Slump: Reignite Your Creativity and Motivation

Every writer experiences it at some point: the dreaded writing slump. It's that sinking feeling when your creativity seems to have gone into hibernation, leaving you staring at a blank page. But fear not! In this blog post, I'll help you explore unique and effective strategies to help you break free from the writing slump and reignite your motivation to write. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting out, these carefully crafted steps will guide you back to your creative flow.

Step 1: Reconnect with Your Writing Purpose

Take a moment to reconnect with your writing purpose. What drove you to start writing in the first place? Was it the desire to tell captivating stories, impart knowledge, or share your unique perspective? Reflect on your initial motivations and remind yourself of the passion that ignited your writing journey. This reconnection will serve as a powerful source of inspiration to propel you forward.

Step 2: Embrace the Power of Mindset

Your mindset plays a crucial role in overcoming a writing slump. Instead of viewing it as an insurmountable obstacle, shift your perspective and see it as an opportunity for growth. Embrace the belief that challenges are stepping stones to success. Cultivate a positive mindset, affirming your ability to overcome the slump and rediscover your writing mojo.

Step 3: Rediscover Your Writing Identity

Sometimes, a writing slump occurs when you feel disconnected from your writing identity. Take the time to rediscover who you are as a writer. Reflect on your unique writing style, voice, and the themes that resonate with you. Reconnecting with your writing identity will reignite the spark of creativity and motivate you to put pen to paper once again.

Step 4: Set Realistic Writing Goals

Setting realistic goals is essential in reclaiming your motivation. Break down your larger writing projects into smaller, achievable milestones. By doing so, you'll experience a sense of accomplishment as you complete each task, fueling your motivation to tackle the next one. Remember, progress, no matter how small, is still progress.

Step 5: Cultivate a Writing Ritual

Establishing a writing ritual can work wonders in overcoming a slump. Designate a specific time and place for your writing practice. Create a personalized ritual that helps you transition into a focused and creative mindset. It could be lighting a scented candle, playing calming music, or even performing a short meditation. The familiarity of your ritual will signal to your brain that it's time to unleash your creativity.

Step 6: Experiment with Writing Prompts

Writing prompts serve as catalysts for fresh ideas and inspiration. Seek out unique writing prompts that resonate with your interests and writing style. They can be found in books, online websites, or even through random word generators. Embrace the challenge of writing within given constraints, and witness how it sparks your creativity and motivates you to write again.

Step 7: Engage in Stream-of-Consciousness Writing

Stream-of-consciousness writing is a powerful technique to bypass your inner critic and tap into your subconscious mind. Set a timer for 10-15 minutes and write whatever comes to mind without censorship or judgment. Allow your thoughts to flow freely, even if they seem disjointed or nonsensical. This exercise can unlock hidden ideas and awaken your creative energy.

Step 8: Seek Inspiration from Other Creative Outlets

Sometimes, finding inspiration outside of writing can reignite your creative fire. Engage in other artistic outlets such as painting, photography, or music. Immerse yourself in nature, visit art galleries, or attend live performances. These experiences will stimulate your senses, refresh your perspective, and infuse your writing with newfound inspiration.

Step 9: Collaborate with Fellow Writers

Collaboration can be a powerful motivator. Seek out fellow writers and engage in collaborative projects, writing circles, or workshops. Sharing ideas, receiving constructive feedback, and discussing challenges with like-minded individuals will invigorate your creative spirit. Embrace the sense of camaraderie and support that comes from being part of a writing community.

Step 10: Embrace Self-Care and Recharge

Self-care is vital for overcoming a writing slump. Take care of your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Engage in activities that recharge your creativity, such as practicing mindfulness, exercising, or immersing yourself in a favorite hobby. Prioritize self-care to create a balanced and nurturing environment for your writing to flourish.

Defeating the writing slump requires a combination of self-reflection, mindset shifts, and proactive steps. By reconnecting with your writing purpose, embracing a positive mindset, exploring new writing techniques, seeking inspiration from various sources, and nurturing your well-being, you will reignite your motivation to write and unleash your full creative potential. Remember, every writer encounters temporary setbacks, but it's your resilience and determination that will guide you back to the page. So, embrace these unique steps, trust in your abilities, and let your words flow once again. Happy writing!

We often stop believing in ourselves. Therefore, things start to seem impossible. We need to stop this, and again start believing in us. Once you start believing in yourself, all things become possible.Happy Monday!

Depression and Me

So, this is my first blog and I know that there are a ton of things like this on many social media sites, but there is no one size fits all on any subject let alone peoples experience with mental health issues. I want to share a little bit about my history for my first blog post and then throughout the week I will post blogs of how I am feeling and my thoughts.

I have been fighting depression since I was in my teen years and it started after my mother died when I was 13.  For a long time, I dealt with fears and thoughts of inadequacy and I blamed it on the world around me. Not once did I try to get help, and I knew for a while that I was depressed I just thought it will pass. It didn’t pass. Throughout the years it became harder to move past my feelings of sadness and soon my sleep patterns were affected.

The insomnia started when I was about 21 or so and it still hasn’t subsided, I now take medication to help me sleep and we will get into that in a little bit. My depression has caused many fights between myself and my family and it had a negative impact on my relationship with my father for a very long time. After my daughter was born things got worse and that’s when the insomnia kicked in, for about four years or so I was living off about 2-4 hours of sleep a night on a good day. There were times when I just didn’t sleep for days and that didn’t make for a very productive day.

At one point I tried going to college, I was studying Cultural Anthropology and I really enjoyed the class, but I was not motivated to do anything, and my grades suffered. I ended up failing the class because my father and I had a massive fight, after which I stopped going to class.

I also found that I had a hard time maintaining relationships. Not because I didn’t like the guys I was with but because I lost interest very easily. That’s one of the things that gets people, the lack of interest. Its not just a lack of interest in cleaning or socializing but no interest in eating or falling in love or even in things like going out to eat or the beach, no interest in living. By this I don’t mean suicide or wanting to die, its more like when your child makes you a macaroni heart that say, “I LUV YOO MOMMY” and you can’t even fake a smile. So, because of this lack of interest I couldn’t stand people for long periods of time, my longest relationship was 5 months.

Then I met my current boyfriend in December of 2015, and for once I thought that maybe I could make this one world. Fast forward a year and a half later and we went through a very stressful time. His ex-wife allowed her boyfriend to physically abuse her children. Two little girls aged 2 and 3 who couldn’t hurt a fly and she let him beat them. I had this feeling something was wrong because things the girls would say when they would come home, and I tried to get my boyfriend to keep them from her until we knew what was going on, but he wouldn’t listen. He defended her constantly even after we found out the her and her boyfriend were on drugs.

Well one day the girls’ grandmother calls us and asked about some bruising on the 2-year-old that were not there two days ago when we sent them to stay with their mother and a statement from the 3-year-old had us calling to cops and sending them to the hospital with their grandmother. Now we lived in a city almost three hours away and we had to drive to pick the girls up. The police brought charges against them both and we took the girls home. This put both my self and my boyfriend under a lot of stress and we sort of stopped communicating. It was devastating because our relationship was falling apart before my eyes and I couldn’t fix it. Long story short we had a fight and he started talking to his first ex-wife and told me he did it because he had no one else to talk to. They had also had a conversation about wanting to get back together and I lost faith. I felt like I was going to lose everything and ended up attempting suicide. Well my boyfriend and I worked things out and were ok for a while and I started going to school for Psychology.

After a while though it was like he disconnected again, and things went south. I felt alone and like I was the only one trying to take care of myself and the kids. He expected me to take my meds and be ok and I felt like I needed counseling, but I wasn’t getting it. We fought again, and I ended up back in the hospital. He broke up with me. A week later and he was back with his first ex-wife. I told him it was a bad idea and he didn’t listen, she dumped him a month and a half later. He and I decided to try again and its been 5 months. We had one major fight recently but through my counseling and us communicating we are doing fine.

My girls’ bio mother and her bf took a plea deal and I am not happy about it but there is nothing I can do about it. I work hard on my schooling and go to my appointments, but I still have good and bad days.

The thing about depression is that it doesn’t just go away on its own so please if you feel like you need help call someone. There are hot lines and you can always go to your local ER or even talk to your primary care physician, but don’t just ignore it.

For both of my jobs (physical therapist and fitness coach) I have had struggled with one thing in particular. . People not getting better and/or reaching their goals despite me giving them all the information, all the exercises, and the support they need to accomplish what they want. I give them all the tools in my toolbox. Time after time people come back to me upset they aren't seeing the results they believe they should be getting. Then I start questioning: Have you done your exercises at home? Have you changed your eating? Etc, etc... Most of the time I get a "No" (in so many words). . I have learned that no matter how badly I want someone to reach their goals, and I truly do, it doesn't matter. Unless they want it for themselves just as bad, if not more, than I do they're not going to reach them. I used to internalize this and think I wasn't doing a good job but I know that's just not the case. . I challenge you to not only find the "what" and the "when" of your journey.. But find the "why". That "why" needs to be such a strong driving force, that you won't be able to back down from it! Is it your kids? Your health? Wanting to fit into pants you wore in high school? What ever it is hold onto and work until you get it! . #findyourwhy #worktowardsit #gountilyougetit #findyourmotivation #fuelit #lightafireunderyourownass #noonecandoitforyou

What are the things that keep you motivated? For me, it is seeing the weights I am lifting slowly increase over time and feeling my clothes fit differently as I progress. But the thing that motivates me most are the times when I walk by a mirror, see myself out of the corner of my eye, and don't recognize myself for a moment. During those times it really hits home regarding how far I have come over the last 4 years. I only leaned out about 3 years ago I'm still not used to seeing myself in my current condition, as strange as that may sound. Do any of you experience the same thing? If not, keep going and I bet you will before long. #progressnotperfection #whatisyourmotivation #motivation #mondaymotivation #transformationjourney #fitnessmotivation #fitnesstransformation #weightlosssuccess #whodis #fitnessaddict #slowlybutsurely #findyourmotivation #ketoinspo #ketofam #ketogenic #ketosis #ketogram https://www.instagram.com/p/B88m-MBgz7G/?igshid=747uo2wurbvu
