Discover practical strategies and resources to overcome creative blockage and freely generate ideas again. Creative block is a phenomenon that affects artists, designers, writers and anyone who works with ideas. Even those who are experienced in their discipline can draw a blank, not knowing where to start. The good news is that creativity is not a fixed resource: it can be trained, stimulated and unlocked through specific habits, exercises and resources. This article offers practical tools so you can regain your creative flow and get back to creating with freedom. Why do we block ourselves creatively? Creative blocking can arise for several reasons: -Excessive demand: wanting everything to be perfect from the first try. -Fear of error: fear of failing or producing something "wrong". -Stimulus saturation: too much information can overwhelm the brain. -Lack of focus or rest: the mind needs breaks to generate new ideas. The famous "blank page syndrome" is a common manifestation of these blocks: we sit in front of the paper or screen and no ideas flow. Recognizing the cause is the first step to overcome it.
