Take Some Time to Appreciate You
A quick reflective exercise to combat creative slumps by listing your creative achievements and rediscovering your sense of personal value.
We came across a great post from The 99 Percent titled "Peak Creative Moments," and it got us thinking about how creatives often get caught up in constant productivity without acknowledging their accomplishments.
We're constantly running on a treadmill, never accomplishing much yet always busy. Sound familiar?
The suggestion is straightforward: take 60 seconds to list all creative achievements you can recall, then write them down. It doesn't matter how big or small they are. Just get them on paper.
Reflecting on this will help boost a creative slump or simply invigorate you for a project yet to come.
Thinking about our personal achievements makes us happier. Thinking about creative achievements makes us feel valuable.
