Feeling Stumped

Sometimes we just get stuck.  We can't seem to come up with anything creative.  Maybe we are looking for a way to solve a problem or we have an article to write or a presentation to put together for our job.  Yet, nothing comes to us!!!  What do we do?  Often, we just get frustrated - maybe even stress ourselves as we put more and more pressure on for accomplishing our task. 

Instead, why don't we take a break.  Go for a walk, meditate, do a little yoga, get a cup of tea, call a friend, listen to some music.  There are a variety of ways to remove ourselves from the blank state we feel we are in.  If we remove the pressure, we can listen...listen to what is inside of us.  If we truly listen, and release the pressure, we will find the inspiration and creativity that we are looking for.  Don't second guess it...just go with what comes to us.  We can always adjust it later if it needs tweaking in regards to our project, but what comes to us initially is very important - so listen.
