.Last week I had a serious burnout. I was travelling, spending time with my loved ones & I seriously simply didn’t feel like blogging. I haven’t felt this way in YEARS. I just knew- the time has come to recharge my mind in order to keep going.

In this post, I collected some of my top tips + tricks for recharging your creative mind.

1. LEARN SOMETHING NEW

Go ahead & leave your main creative work on the side for a bit. If I don’t feel like working on new blog designs or my blog, I’d go ahead & read some articles on improving photography skills & try to experiment with my camera a bit. Learning something new can help your mind open up & feel refreshed.

2. ALLOW YOURSELF TO WIND OFF

Look, it’s ok to have a night out occasionally or allow yourself to order a takeaway and just re-watch your favourite TV show in one go. We all need days for doing absolutely nothing & it can do wonders to your overall being.

3. TRAVEL

Guys, this is THE secret. Just running away for a few days can change your world for the better. I always feel refreshed and full of new ideas after I get back from a foreign country or just a weekend in the woods.

4. MAKE A TO-DO LIST

If you lack motivation for no particular reason- re-evaluate your organisation. It might be that you just need a structure in your life. Read 10 things I do every day to improve my life + business & download a free checklist to keep yourself on track!

5. EXERCISE

Now you might be wonder what sports would have to do with running a successful blog + biz. Let me tell you this- if you treat your body right, you’re going to do so much better in life. To be honest, I’m a regular 20-something-year-old that would rather spend my evening catching up on my Netflix series than working out. I do, however, feel so much better if I manage to have a proper workout session on the day. Join this free fitness course to receive daily workouts straight to your inbox!

6. TALK TO OTHER CREATIVES

Whenever I feel lost, I’d go ahead and talk to a friend that also works in the same industry. It’s so helpful to hear you’re not the one feeling this way and that it’s common for all of us to feel like we lost our patch.

7. TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT

Challenge yourself to try something absolutely different to your everyday life. Read a book you would never usually read or go to a dinner all by yourself. Getting out of your comfort zone can be done in small steps, but can really help you recharge.

8. TREAT YOURSELF

I actually just went through this stage. Even though I promised to save as much money as possible by the end of the year, it’s hard to feel successful when you’re holding yourself back. I might have gone on an unexpected shopping spree and well – it worked!

9. GO BACK TO YOUR OLD POSTS

Going through your old material can help you remember your original niche & bring some new post ideas. It can also show you how far you’ve come & that’s so motivational!

10. REMIND YOURSELF HOW WELL YOU’RE DOING

Just breathe. Close your eyes. Remember where you were 5 years ago & where are you know. If you’re really working hard to make your dreams happen- you’ve probably done more than you appreciate yourself for. Remind yourself that you’re doing ok & learn to celebrate little victories.
