I believe we have been here before. I think I wrote this same blog a few months back. But I am still stuck in a creative block. It’s been four months since I moved to Tokyo, and I am still stuck.
I love my life and work in Tokyo. Don’t get me wrong. Things have been great so far, except for my creative side. I used to make at least one video a week. I used to make short videos on Instagram. I used to fly my drone a lot more. I used to get my creative mind at work. But for the past few months, I haven’t been able to do it.
I have given the excuse of moving and starting a new job. Not really excuses, they are just the reality. But I am past that. I feel settled in my new life. But I haven’t been able to add the creative side to my new life. On my weekends I try to go out and enjoy myself. I don’t keep time for making videos. I kinda avoid it. On the weekdays I am busy with my job. In the extra time, I have I try to keep it for running or working out. I can squeeze in some time for edits, but I avoid it to reduce my screen time. This has been my loop for the past few months.
The time has come to get out of this loop. The only way you get out of a creative block is to start doing things. Start taking initiative. Even the smallest one. Things will start moving and you will pick up momentum. Enough is enough. I have given countless excuses, but I think it is time to start again. Start now.
