Ever feel like your brain is a dry sponge? You squeeze and squeeze, and nothing comes out?
That was me recently. I’m getting ready to promote my conference, and my ideas just weren’t going anywhere. Stuck in my own head, not sure where to go.
Then I got on a call with my coach — just to talk about next quarter. I wasn’t even asking for ideas.
Out of the blue, he starts popping out ideas left and right. Really creative stuff I hadn’t considered.
And here’s what happened: my brain felt like it was receiving water. It became malleable. It started expanding. “Oh, that’s a good idea. Oh, that’s a really good idea.”
It was as if a dam broke. I got excited again.
The realization? I had been working alone. That was the problem. I just needed to talk to someone outside the box — and be open to ideas I didn’t even ask for.
I’m learning I need to stop being stuck in my own brain and start talking to other people. When I do, the dam breaks and the ideas come.
So here’s my question: where are you stuck creatively? Have you talked it out with someone lately? Let me know in the comments 👇
