It's too easy to pick up the phone and check the messages. What happens next is, that I get lost into scrolling a bit of this and that, usually not useful information at all. Wishing I had more time, that little time is spent on reading other people's updates. Still inside me, I know there are ideas, that are just waiting for the magic moment.
Where are the good ideas coming from? Or actually it we should ask ourselves the question, when.Lately I haven't had any good ideas, hardly any ideas at all. The days have been mostly about running the routines, my mind has been too tired to produce any useful thoughts. And some of the routines tend to pile up until I'm forced to do something to them. You can call it laziness, or just bad time scheduling.
The other side of the problem is when usually no ideas and texts get finished. It's very annoying actually. Still trying to find a solution to that problem.
In a perfect world all the texts and ideas are finished in no time, right? If we wait for that moment, it's never going to happen. I've become quite sure, that there is no magic moment. A moment when you just get into the flow of writing (with no effort).
That magic moment is created by you.
You create the time and space. It takes time and effort, and a certain daily time to work on things to get forward. Still it seems like I need MythBusters to prove me, that there is no other way. I know, this has nothing to do with science. Maybe it might be easier for some people though, who knows? Researchers claim to have found a 'happiness' gene. Maybe there is a gene for this matter too.
My every day "get away moment" has been updating a picture to Instagram. Freezing a beautiful moment, maybe adding a thought. Better than nothing, and a nice hobby.
Now after a long break I gave time for my thoughts, and started writing. I had to check if I'm still able to write. I forced myself to concentrate on just one thing. And I did it. Today I have a 'all things can happen' feeling.
Creativity needs space. When the mind is too crowded, the ideas stay away. For some people it might be the mornings, for some it can be evenings.
Take your time.
