Since Christmas I’ve been feeling slightly lost because I don’t really have any projects on the go, now. Usually I have creative things to do, I feel like reading and what-not, but lately all I feel like doing is watching movies… Perhaps it’s the heat and the anxiety I’ve experiencing recently. Well, whatever it is, I know I really need to start getting motivated to do things before I get stuck in this rut.
I have kind of started knocking out ideas for a new site design, but my heart is not really in it at present. That seems to be how I feel about many things, which is rather a giant pain!
Oh, well, hopefully soon I will be feeling better and my creativity will come back.
What are some things you do to help motivate yourself?
I went through the same kinda thing in Dec, I didn’t have the motivation to do anything really. No web stuff, no q*bee stuff, no crochet, sewing, drawing etc etc. And not doing anything added to the feeling. It was very much a downward spiral effect. So i just took a deep breath… looked at everything I could do, chose the one that seemed the tiniest and did it. The sense of accomplishment that came with it inspired me to try something else! And when I had done that I was even more excited. And w/ every tiny little thing I did, it inspired me to do more. SO try looking for a little project.. inseat of something huge like a whole new layout and it might start the ball rolling. It’s hard. But I know you can do it! *hugs*
Thank you, Christine, you are so right. I shall start with the tiniest and work my way up.
