I need a break today. I'm craving inspiration. I was on a creative high starting out the new year, and now I seem to be spiraling downward. What do you do when you feel unmotivated?

Creme brulee always helps...Dana made some more. Come help us eat it!
Just bumped into your blog, and it's so pretty. Love the header + this photo! Reminds me of spring, which I sorely miss.

I get really motivated by learning new things ... I listen to a lot of podcasts.
Oddly if I'm feeling unmotivated I put Murder She Wrote on... within minutes I'll be happily stitching away! I don't know what it is about watching Jessica solve murders but it always makes me want to sew!!!
Hmm... I just kinda let the phase come and go. Use it to get some other stuff done that you don't want to do when you're creativity is going strong.
I like taking a break now and then... :)
Hope it comes back soon!

I definitely have been unmotivated this week, but I came across Phil 2:12-13, and I like my NLT version: ...giving you the DESIRE and POWER to do what pleases Him. I sometimes wonder where the desire to do something comes from, like how can you muster up the desire to desire something?
Do something creatively simple and repetitive till I come up with something, do something else, stop and go in a totally new direction with something I haven't ever explored yet, take someone else's idea and take it in a whole new direction...just kinda depends I guess.
The book 'The Creative Habit' by Twila Tharp (which I have not read completely) talks about a warm up exercise before you create to get you ready. The book seems to be more about the discipline behind creating.
LOVE all these ideas & comments! thanks so much, everyone... feeling much better this week. :)
