By STORM

  • Storm2147

If you are working in the creative sector of the world where you are responsible for innovative, visionary, unique and thoughtful imagination processes like primary conceptualization, planning themes, designing the content related to online marketing and advertising, you can relate to this. Creativity blackout means for a specific time not being able to think, imagine and visualize any ideas or creative abilities due to various mental and surrounding factors. It is also known as a mental block.

What are the causes of Creativity Blackout?

#1. Emotional Stress Factors

You have been working on multiple projects but didn't get enough appreciation. You might be applying for new jobs that involve assignments, but you feel overwhelmed by the level of difficulty; these are the examples of emotional stress you can't handle that might have put you in a creativity blackout. A creative thinker is an artist by heart, and the ability to think keeps it pumping. Few negative emotions that we couldn't cut down in our mind divert our thought process to reach blank or dead ends. Guilt, sadness, regrets are personal factors and lack of appreciation, lack of recognition, stolen credit is caused by co-workers, higher position workers or respective clients for whom you work. These emotions lead to fear, resentment, frustration, and anxiety.

#2. Work Pressure

Two kinds of people exist around us at the workplace.

a. The one who shines under pressure.

b. The one who can't work under pressure.

Creativity blackouts can occur to both kinds of people. When Pressure-thrivers don't have enough stress to trigger, they lack excitement and energy to complete the assigned task. People who like to work harmoniously and have no panic or pressure like an early deadline fall in this category. For them, the pressure to finish before the deadline can be a reason subconsciously to stop working and overthinking consequent probabilities.

#3. Inappropriate surroundings

Here surrounding, means workplace and people. Many creative brainstormers are reliant on the properly organized or particular workplace. Others are simultaneous thinkers that are independent of this factor. Some people might face a creativity blackout because of situations they are into besides work-life. Relevant examples could be an argument with friends, family or colleagues, toxic environment, the demise of a close one, etc. Creativity blackouts buildup here as you fail to stop your mind from revolving around the same conflict and emotionally feel exhausted.

How to get out of the creativity blackout?

Facing this issue is sometimes unexplainable to various people. The time required for recovering from the creativity blackout depends on how you heal and shift or divert your mind. An author has mentioned that you are responsible for borders and barriers inside your head. To initiate the rejuvenating process, you need to break the walls. You need to realize that even the sky is not the limit. You have the infinite potential to think.

#1. Think beyond the Correct & Ordinary Solutions

When you shut your mind and start thinking like any average person. Remind yourself that you are in this position because you chose to not settle for stereotypes. You didn't let the inner child and its curiosity die that gave you this opportunity. Sometimes the correct answer is not what you need to complete your task.

#2. Logic interrupter

A creative blackout is like denying the beautiful world of ideas and just looking at a monotonous logic. Logic is the inspector of how workable is the plan. This same logic might become the rival of your innovative thought process. Think about the possibilities around it. Twist, turn and break down the subject and precisely observe every aspect.

#3. Be the rule breaker!

Very often, the emotional factors that caused the Creativity blackout put us in a restrictive state of mind that we can't see the easy idea waiting for us to pick up. Keep the emotions aside for a minute and count up the possible ways to find the great idea. Bring out the rebellion inside you and think like a child. Inspiration and ideas arise from ambiguity for a lot of people. Think like a crazy person who doesn't care about circumstances. Considering the ideology of all right things we learned since childhood is because a large group of people approved it as valid. In this way, think about the other possibilities to make it happen and present the best out of it.

#4. 'Try & error' method

The easiest and proven method to find a solution for anything is experimenting. When you can't help the surroundings to change or avoid the pressure, try every stupid idea that hits your mind on the subject to find your answers. It will help you divert your mind and engage in relevant thought processes.

#5. Reassurance Factor

Most perfectionists excel because of self-criticism, but sometimes the overthinking factor ends up demotivating your growth mindset. Denying your creativity is considering yourself as average. Recall all the recognition and even small appreciations you have received. Never let the fault finding system in your head take over the artist who awaited to seize the highest opportunity in your life. Talking to your close ones might help you as well.

#6. Embrace the uncertainty

A misplaced or strange thing is more attention-seeking to human psychology. If we try to fit everything in the stereotype, the world won't be happy anymore. Balance is the only constant after the change. The creative process in your mind sometimes requires you to take an ambiguous turn to reach an outstanding idea.

TAKEAWAYS

Creativity blackout is natural to occur when the heaviest asset in your work-life is your incredible thought process. It is like getting tired or exhausted. Fuel up yourself to light up your brain with ideas. Always remember that you are the only person who can do justice to your talent and potential. No one else's opinion doesn't matter.
