4 Tips For Getting Out Of A Creative Funk.

Hey guys!
How did the easter break treat you?
Mine was really good but unfortunately I didn’t actually document it and I don’t have so much pictures to make a weekend bits post. Would you still like me to put it up?
You may have noticed that I’ve not been so present on the blog this past week, I’ve been feeling a bit out of touch/uninspired recently.
We hardly talk about the behind the scenes of the work – be it blogging, or just being a creative. The frustration and challenges that comes with it all sometimes.
For me, it ebbs and flows. I have periods where I’m on a roll and then the low periods where I feel stuck, uninspired and generally tired from having to continually put out work.
Some of the things I’m constantly learning from these periods and I hope to encourage you with if you ever feel stuck are
– Embrace the process : I also wonder why it can’t all be smooth sailing all through but I’ve realized that the chaos, challenges/frustration are all part of the process. Embrace it while doing the work it takes to keep moving forward.
– Don’t wait around for inspiration or for it to feel easy : I always try to keep it moving regardless and that’s how this post came up (which I should have put up earlier but couldn’t for the life of me figure out a title for it). 
– No one is going to do the work for you : At the end of the day it still boils down to you getting things done because it is your life and no one will do the work for you. This is one thing that gets me going too – knowing that if I don’t get out of it and move, I’ll probably still remain in the same position.
– Lastly, don’t give up : You won’t reach your goal if you just drop out of it all. You can take it slow and steady if need be but giving up shouldn’t be an option.
Do you ever have periods like this?

I shared this look on instagram (@cassiedaves) and asked if I should put it up on the blog also. I probably wouldn’t ordinarily have put this up otherwise but I got some positive replies.
Its an easy casual style that I tried to update a bit by throwing on the denim jacket. I wore this one fine sunday to accompany my friend to run some errands. I wasn’t even going to get out of the car so I don’t know why I took the jacket with me but its like they say ‘its always better to come prepared’. I not only ended up getting out of the car but we eventually went to see a movie where I bumped into a reader. *If you’re reading this, hiiii again!*

The green heels was a last minute decision -just for the pictures. I’m wearing my sister’s gbemisoke shoes from our TBCConnect event.

What do you think of this look and how will you style it better?
