Creative people are a moody lot.
Many of the greatest literature works came out of times
When the authors were at low ebb the very act of putting
Energy into a goal, an idea or a desire, places one on a roller
Coaster ride of emotions
There are times when it seems that everything is just too
Much Am I ever going to achieve success? Why can't I just
Be "normal" and give up? Why did I ever start this venture?
In the first place
It's not unusual to feel a bit low, particularly after an
Accomplishment or a high we all get 'writers block', 'ideas
Starvation', or just feel plain miserable.
So how do we control these feelings?
? Don't be surprised if your emotions take a ride.
When we step out of our comfort zone well, it's
Uncomfortable! The mere act of moving ahead means that
You are going into untried territory (at least for you!)
? Accept that it's OK to feel a bit fed-up or low sometimes.
Many times we pressurize ourselves by thinking that
Something is wrong if we are not performing at our peak. We
Might strive to push ourselves regardless of how we feel.
We look at other people and it appears as though they are
Always on top why can't I be like them? - The fact is that
Even the highest achievers have off days, it's just that they
Realise that it's 'par for the course' and recognize when they
Need a complete break or to put a project down for a while.
? Plan for 'away days' or at least a few hours away.
Successful people are not workaholics. Make sure you make
Time for family and friends, or to just enjoy time for yourself
Alone, there's nothing wrong in that!

? Use the time for quiet reflection.
When you feel a little bit low, the best thing to do is to relax
And just listen. You might receive some great ideas or
Intuitions if only you would shut up for a while!
? Don't beat yourself up.
You cannot always be in a state of flow. Even with a
Deadline approaching doesn't panic. When you feeling under
Pressure, pause for a moment, break your focus and
Remember the good time you had when you were last on
Holiday (for example) and feel those same feelings you had
At that time you will be amazed at the new found energy
You will have.
? Make sure that you are not just putting things off.
Maybe you are feeling low because of things you have not
Done well the answer is to get off your backside and stop
Making excuses for delaying the thing that is causing you
The problems!
I know it's hard to face some decisions, and I'm the worst for
Putting things off, but if you want to succeed then there has
To be an organized plan of action otherwise you will just find
Yourself in the pit of depression
? Do it anyway
I can identify with some of our greatest creative talents
Whose best work sometimes comes out of adversity and
Those black moments these are times when the ego is at its
Lowest ebb and therefore the real underlying genius is
Allowed to come to the fore
Don't let these low feelings stop you; you might found that
Creative answers come when you least expect them.
