Give it a Rest

Do you ever have a day where it's challenging to think of anything creative. You want to get some details in life and job done but the mental capacity to think it through and be excited about the outcome never comes! There are times when I need to just give something a rest and pick it up later in hopes a new idea springs forth.

I question sometimes if this is procrastination from pushing through a tough moment. This is an important question, since many of us, me included dislike hard moments. But I don't see laying something down and picking it up within 24 hours as procrastination. At times it's being productive. I can sit and stare at the computer for a long time and not have anything happen. I could be getting some manual labor done which refreshes my mind and come back to the computer with rested and creative thinking.

In the great adventure called life there are times we need to "give something a rest" and pick it up later. For me this describes this day, so I am leaving the task of being creative and replacing it for now with manual labor...picking up props for senior high games! By doing this I expect new inspiration for carrying on and completing the creative part of my life.
