Clients May Overlook Creative Blocks
As creatives (writers, influencers, etc.), we sometimes encounter creative blocks. In industries that rely on creative output, it can be difficult for the client requesting the services to understand the burnout often associated with creating content. It is important to take certain measures to rejuvenate, clear your mind, and inspire new ideas, in order to remain productive and in alignment with your goals.
It is best to take a step back if needed to attend to your mental, emotional, and spiritual needs, rather than feeling pressured to “crank out” content or ideas to suit a client’s demands, which will only result in a subpar effort on your end. I am not suggesting you neglect meeting deadlines, however, with proper planning, you should be able to produce timely work while allowing for dealing with any unforeseen creative blocks. Ease Your Mind and Emotions to Release Creative Blocks
Avoid Unreasonable Deadlines
A great first step in dealing with creative blocks is to take the pressure off by avoiding them, to begin with. It is not necessarily possible to completely avoid creative blocks since they can be unpredictable. But do what you can to avoid placing yourself in stressful situations that may interfere with a successful creative process, such as dealing with clients that impose unreasonably tight deadlines.
Aim to partner with a certain echelon of client that respects you as a professional in your field, understands you have other clients you are producing content for, and has consideration for you as a human being. Creative Blocks are Par for the Course
Accept the Inevitable
Accepting that creative blocks are a natural part of the creative process, will also relieve a lot of undue pressure on yourself. Developing unique and effective content, in the form of writing, images, music, etc. is considered a gift by many so you should not feel obligated to produce these types of materials on demand. They flow from a place of inspiration and spontaneity.
Enjoy Other Creative Works to Prompt Ingenuity
Relax Your Mind, Emotions, and Body
A helpful way to release your own creative blocks is to enjoy the creativity of other artists. They may be in a completely different field than yourself, but often, appreciating the work of others can stimulate innovative ideas. You may consider listening to music, perhaps the type that also helps with soothing your mind and emotions, while encouraging relaxation, such as binaural beats or particular hertz frequencies.
You may want to escape for a bit into the writings or artwork of other talented creatives as a way to unwind and forget your creative blocks for a while. Other forms of healthy escapism, like exercise or participating in beneficial coping mechanisms of your choice are also a great place to turn. Just Get Started
Sometimes the best way to break past a creative block is to just get started creating content. Even just putting together an outline or rough draft, in the case of writing, can be incredibly helpful. This can often provoke ideas as you go through the process.
Taking any kind of action will help you feel less overwhelmed by the overall task. It will give you a greater sense of control and staying on track with accomplishing your goals. You will feel less helpless and more calm, knowing you at least handled what you could. When creative blocks cross your path, just remember they are par for the course, take a breather, and engage in some positive means of coping. Avoid too much procrastination and keep focused on regaining that fire of motivation being lit under you again. Keep in mind what initially moved you to enter your creative field and the passions that drove you. They are highly likely to return. Check out some of my work on my Portfolio Page.

Total Life Changes Mindset
I feel thankful to be a part of Total Life Changes because it’s a company that actually cares about us becoming better people. Yes, it’s great to make money, but it’s also important to work on who you are, character-wise and health-wise. Making money is not as rewarding if you don’t feel like a good person who’s actually contributing to society. Money is also not that great when you don’t have your good health to properly enjoy it.
The overall mentality in Total Life Changes is that it’s important to improve yourself both mentally & physically. Progressing toward becoming a better person is just as important as progressing toward your goals and improving your finances. I feel comfortable being a member of Total Life Changes because I know everything that is stressed by the company is in our best interest. Although things might get tough sometimes, I know it’s in order to help build our characters and strengthen our work ethic. Nothing worth having comes easy in life, so building a business isn’t exactly going to be a piece of cake, but it’s all worth it in the end. The values and mindset emphasized in Total Life Changes are those of strength, good character, truly caring about the TLC family, staying goal-oriented, and working hard to build your business. Although things get hard sometimes, a person with a true business mindset knows you hang in there until things get better. You will never see me quit and my die-hard teammates will never quit either. We’re in it to the end because we know what awaits at the end of our journey. For those of you who dropped out before things even got started, sorry you won’t be with us when we reap the rewards of all the sacrifice. That’s not what loyalty and strength equate to. The struggle builds character. You should have hung in there…but I guess that’s how the weak are weeded out from the strong. This team is about strength so if you have what it takes, come on board, otherwise, to be straightforward with you…don’t waste my time. It takes hard work to build a business and I’m going to be real with you about it. I’m not going to try to con you and tell you it’s a bed of roses. However, the hard work doesn’t last forever. Things eventually get a lot easier and more enjoyable once you get over the hump. If this were easy, everyone would be wealthy. There needs to be some sort of value associated with this, otherwise everyone would be doing it. Not everyone deserves it. I don’t think lazy people should just cash in on a valuable business like Total Life Changes without paying their dues, in terms of hard work. Total Life Changes Personal Development
Total Life Changes places so much emphasis on developing yourself as a person that they’ve even integrated personal development into our training materials. TLC has now introduced a Business Starter Kit that includes books and audios; so members can work on personal development and becoming better people. Obviously this company is not just about the money. Total Life Changes cares about making a positive impact on society and wants to ensure its members are a positive representation of TLC. In addition to personal development resources, the Total Life Changes Business Starter Kit includes valuable training and tools to help you build your business. When you sign up to join my team, you can check everything out. It’s all included on the Join page. You’ll see everything there when you’re filling out the form. If you need help with the sign-up process, contact me via the contact email on my Total Life Changes site or on Facebook Also contact me for access to additional training provided by our team. I’m open to helping you on a one-on-one basis as well...whatever method of training is right for you. You’ll find helpful training resources in your Total Life Changes back office too.
Total Life Changes, Like-Minded Friends
We’ve got a great Total Life Changes team; and we all help to support and encourage each other. We all work hard but we play hard too! We have fun being there for each other. That’s what gets you through the tough times, having people there to give you that extra push when you need it the most. This Total Life Changes experience wouldn’t be the same without the valuable friendships and kind people I’m surrounded by. Loyal people who stick it out through the end are what makes the journey worthwhile.
Another important aspect in the Total Life Changes mentality is to truly value people and understand how much easier the road is when you have good people by your side, helping to lighten the load. It’s also such a good feeling to know everyone else on the team is also working toward becoming the best people they can possibly be. It gives you such a positive feeling, knowing you can trust your teammates and they’ve got your best interest at heart. It’s really comforting to know you’re dealing with such quality human beings, all-around good people… We’re all on the road to success, wealth, and a better life. It’s more fun being on the road together, and when we get to the end, we’ll have each other by our side to enjoy a great life together. Training yourself to follow through on goals, work hard, develop yourself as a person, and to value other people, can only bring good things. It’s not a wonder Total Life Changes is blessing lives both financially and in regard to health. The values being taught in our company can’t lead to anything else but blessings.
