10 things that help me get unstuck

Basically, do anything besides trying to force it, or scrolling social media

Is Monday a good day to write on Substack? My brain usually feels super scrambled on Fridays. Writing isn’t optimal during those times and I want my writing here to be more relaxed, so if Mondays work for you, then that’s what I’ll try to do.

After reading (and loving) Wired to Create, I realized I needed to stop forcing ideas out of my brain when I’m stuck. It’s not always possible to take a break in the middle of a project, but sometimes, I really can’t afford to not step away and reset my brain. 

Here are 10 activities that usually work for me.

1. Fold clothes

2. Cuddle pets

3. Do some dishes 

4. Take a shower 

5. Eat a snack 

6. Practice Yoga

7. Meditate

8. Draw in the nearest sketchbook (usually my pets or photos in my camera roll)

9. Watch an episode of 90-Day Fiance

10. Walk a dog
