What do you do when you are not feeling super creative and need a break from work? You can get overwhelmed with work / life and feel like you need to take a total break. I get this way every now again and really try to take time out for myself on a regular basis. Of course it doesn't always happen, but I try to make time for myself.
Here are some ideas to get you out of your slump:
- Go to the gym or try a new exercise class
- Listen to podcasts
- Watch TED talks
- Just walk around. I love discovering new places and sometimes just stroll around downtown.
- Detox from social media
- Pick up a newspaper or magazine
- Read a book
- Go to a museum
- Go to the park
- Go to the zoo
- Check out a new restaurant, store, event, etc. in town
- Go to a new spa and get a treatment
- Get manis and/or pedis
- Try accupunture
- Get reflexology
- Indulge in a massage
- Color, I know this is trending right now, but it's therapeutic
- Take an art class
- Take a new class of some kind / learn a new skill
- Go to a new networking group
- Join an organization you've been wanting to try for years
- Yoga / Thai Chi / Pilates
- Pick up the phone and talk to a friend / family member / old colleague
What are some ways you like to get out of your creative slump or what do you do when you need a total break?
