Your Creative Fire is Waiting—Are You Going to Light It?
Ever feel like you're staring at a blank canvas, a blinking cursor, or an untouched project, wondering where the hell inspiration went? Like maybe the creative well dried up, and now you’re just a person with ideas that never quite make it into reality?
Yeah, that feeling sucks.
But here’s the truth: Inspiration doesn’t just show up on its own—you have to make space for it.
I’ve been (rightfully) accused of being one of the most creative people people know. Not because I force it—but because I’ve made creativity non-negotiable. I treat it like oxygen. Like water. Like coffee (which is to say, absolutely vital). And guess what? That connection to inspiration? It’s a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets.
So, if you’re feeling stuck, uninspired, or creatively burnt out, here’s your official invitation to shake things up. Let’s get you back into the creative flow.
🚀 Step 1: Make Time for Creativity (Yes, You Have Time)
You don’t “find” time for creativity—you claim it.
Block it off like it’s a meeting with your future self. 30 minutes. A weekend. Whatever you’ve got. The trick is not waiting for inspiration to hit—you have to show up first.
🎨 Paint, even if you have no idea what to paint.
✍️ Write, even if the words feel like garbage.
💃 Dance, even if you look ridiculous.
👩🍳 Cook something you’ve never made before.
Creativity isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up and letting yourself play.
📌 Step 2: Surround Yourself with Creativity (Because Energy is Contagious)
You become what you immerse yourself in.
Want to be more creative? Be around creative things.
🌟 Go to an art show.
🌟 Join a writing group.
🌟 Visit a bookstore and pick something totally outside your comfort zone.
🌟 Spend time with people who make you think differently.
💡 I have a weekly art date with a friend or client—it keeps me collaborating, experimenting, and staying in the creative flow. Who’s your creativity accountability partner?
📌 Step 3: Experiment & Embrace the Mess (Perfection is a Buzzkill)
Creativity is trial and error. It’s messy. It’s ugly before it’s beautiful. And the more you let yourself fail, the more breakthroughs you’ll have.
Make bad art.
Write a terrible first draft.
Screw up.
Start over.
This is where the magic happens.
💡 I’ve lived by this philosophy my entire life. Every risk I’ve taken has led to something unexpected and amazing. Every “failure” ended up being a necessary step toward something better.
📌 Step 4: Stop Waiting for Permission
No one is coming to hand you a creativity card and tell you it’s your turn. You have to decide that it’s your turn.
✨ Start the thing.
✨ Try the weird idea.
✨ Build the project.
✨ Put your art into the world.
You don’t need to be an “expert.” You just need to start.
📌 Step 5: Celebrate Your Wins (Because Creativity Loves Recognition)
When you finish something—big or small—acknowledge it.
🎉 Share it.
🎉 Toast to it.
🎉 Write it down and recognize that you DID the thing.
Creativity thrives on momentum. If you don’t celebrate, your brain registers it like it never happened. And if your brain thinks it never happened? It won’t feel the drive to keep creating.
💡 Confession: I am the worst at this. I finish something and immediately move to the next thing. But I’m learning—if you acknowledge your creativity, it will acknowledge you back.
🔥 Your Creative Fire is Waiting—Are You Going to Light It?
Creativity isn’t just a hobby. It’s how we process life. It’s how we heal. It’s how we find meaning.
So if you’re feeling uninspired, it’s not because creativity abandoned you—it’s because you need to make space for it again.
✨ Creativity is a journey, not a destination. So enjoy the ride. Experiment. Try. Fail. Then try again.
And if you need a creativity boost, I’ve got you. I’ve spent my entire life harnessing inspiration and turning it into something real. If you want to get unstuck and back in flow, let’s talk. No fluff. No pressure. Just getting you back in touch with your creative fire.
