Have you ever fallen victim to creative block? - Propsyland

Ever feel like your creative mojo has gone on vacation without you?
Don't worry, we've all been there! But fear not, because we've got some tips and tricks to help you unleash your inner creative beast and get those ideas flowing again.

Creative Block Checklist:

1.Physically step away from what you're doing (if you can) for an hour or two (or even longer) 🚶‍♂️

2. Go for a walk and get some sunshine 🌞

3. Watch a movie with lots of music and exciting visuals. Our favourite is Sleeping Beauty (Disney), or a more recent option is Babylon featuring Margot Robbie (the movie will guarantee to inspire you) ⭐️

4. Be a stalker... just kidding. Take a peek at Pinterest to see if anything lights your sparkle! 🕵️5. Listen to music. Did someone say Harry Styles?

6. Have a nap. We're not judging.

7. Create something for yourself rather than client work. We find this helps take the pressure off.

8. Try a different hobby or activity to break it up. Some fun activities could include a game of hit and giggle (tennis), board games, swimming, fishing, painting, cooking... or our favourite, shopping!

9. Go for a coffee (or hot choccy, if that's your thing) with a friend and talk it out.

10. Watch an educational youtube video. It might teach you a new skill and break down the barrier you're facing!

If all else fails?

The length of your creative hiatus is hard to tell but trying the things above is the first step to tackling it. If all else fails, a fresh fix of prop magic might just be the cure! And we have some pretty cute props too!
