How I dealt with Creative blocking ?

"Lets settle it today itself,I am gonna paint , write something today, something creative, something sterling a masterpiece ".Works works, ends up painting a boring piece of shit.The very samething happened to me when I was on a two month hiatus from painting because you know " Exams"

One fine day I randomly picked up my pen and started sketching, and the result took the shit out of me.

I was depressed and I knew it was creativity and practice that I lacked 'Creative blocking'that was.I wasn't able to make something like I used to , I wanted to give up but my inner kid refrained doing so.I again started painting , it wasn't until a few days had passed and I was on my track not that I didn't face any difficulty but I went through it because of my determination.
I finally painted something that I was never able to and it was this.

I know my fellow steemians to must have in sometime went through or are going through the same feeling which I faced,.So, worry not these tips are your Mjolnir(thor's hammer) to break the the stubborn block.

1.Don't get discouraged.

:-This is only to say you will obviously get discouraged at first.No one can get you out of your shit until and unless you motivate yourself .

2.Practise is the key.

:-I guarantee your breakthrough will come only when you keep practising .Practise whatever you got backed in for atleast three consecutive days ,I promise you'll feel a change like I did above.

The third and the final point is to remember the above points and follow whole-heartedly.

So, there you have it whether it be painting , photography , writing your breakthrough will come when you tell yourself"This is my life ,my passion and am gonna take control of it from now!"

Best of luck and keep crushing the game.

Every creative person who creates something has sometimes these blocks, thanks for sharing how you overcome these periods. But it can change individually, as I see.

Obviously everyone has their take on it , it depends how much one is passionate and how much effort he can put into to get over it with determination.
