Breaking Free From The Tide!
For creatives, the struggle is real
One moment, you are on your highest, spewing out contents
Challenging the status quo, reinventing the norm
The next you know, there’s some sort of unexplainable dryness
Ideas go into hiding and inspiration remains indoors
Some even have a name for it, the infamous “Creative block”
So we try to find a reason for the season
Are we just lacking inspiration
Or could it be that we are disconnected from the “source”
Maybe it’s even true that our creativity is tied to our emotions
At least psychology says so
And we find ourselves moving with the tide of emotions
When emotions are high, we are high
When emotions are low, we are low
And we become slaves to the tide
So how do we break free from the tide?
First, we relax, we observe
Some of us even change environment
Possibly change circles howbeit temporarily
Some even change habits
We do what we have to
Just so we can break free from the tide
And see the world from an unusual perspective
Or, We recognise that we cannot exactly control the tide
Because the one that needs the control is “Us”
So we ignore the tide, “let it rage” we say
Only then do we find the stability that we need within the tide
With the stability comes the connection or reconnection with the source
And out of the tumultuous tide proceeds inspiration
The tide that should have consumed us becomes our birthing place
Gloriously emerging
Like this piece, birthed from one of such “tidal” moments
