Flexibility in your creative routine is really important, but it’s often overlooked. When we stick to strict habits, it can actually hold us back. Instead of feeling inspired, we might feel frustrated. This can lead to:

• Stagnation: If we always do things the same way, we can run into creative blocks.
• Increased Stress: Trying to follow a strict schedule can make us feel like we’re not good enough.
• Lost Opportunities: Creativity needs freedom; without flexibility, great ideas might not come to us.

Here are some easy ways to help you deal with these problems:

1. Embrace Change: Try to shake things up in your routine every now and then to keep things fresh.
2. Set Micro-Goals: Break your bigger tasks into smaller, easier goals. This can lower stress and help you explore new ideas.
3. Create a Supportive Environment: Surround yourself with things that make you feel inspired and open to new ideas.
