I've found that being in new physical spaces clears the cobwebs.
Also, moodboarding concepts/themes/colors can help even if its unrelated to your project.

My biggest thing when being in a funk is feeling stuck somewhere, so I force myself to put on some clothes and put myself somewhere new so my mind can follow. @devisthatgirl already covered going on a walk, you could also:
- go on a random drive and listen to music/podcasts
- go to a craft store
- go to a free museum
- or literally just find somewhere quiet outside the house - I recommend no scrolling and just sit, smell, listen, look closely at the things around you.
I've been there many times - you can do this!! <3

I'm not a poem writer, but I do enjoy creative writing and I've found when I'm facing any form of creative slump going somewhere new is always helpful. Taking a walk and observing the architecture(historical context of the neighborhood), sitting in your local library, a shower/bath, visit a restaurant, a park, take a break and go hang out with friends with a notebook tucked in your bag just in case.
Changing scenery always does me wonders.

either going on a hike or just exploring and taking my time somewhere in nature. It helps me to get some perspective and reset. I prefer somewhere with a creek, I like looking at different rocks trying to find ones that have cool shapes/textures/colors. look for national/state forests or wildlife refuges near you!
for creative ruts, iβll do an excercise sometimes where I look for weird shadows or leaves or anything really and try and turn those shapes into characters or just see how my brain reinterprets them. itβs a nice low stakes creative game

Poetically, this was going to be the last date before I delete Hinge and take a break for a few months.

The free time and mental clarity is scary, but I'm so excited for what comes next.
