Brick wall fallacy

As individuals and creative beings the term "I've hit a brick wall" or 'writers block" is often used in passing. This refers to when our creative juices and magnificent ideas are not flowing as well as we are used to them pouring out.  Recently, I have been reading the "Power of now" by Echart Tolle, and he really emphasises on how being present in the moment,  exercising our unconscious mind allows us to take control of our thoughts. Using this same philosophy I believe it can be revolutionary in eliminating the brick wall that we have created within our unconscious mindset.

Writers block or anything preventing you to be creative is a fallacy (in my opinion). It is a condition that exists in our head. We think we are blocked and as a result ---> become blocked. 
We may not always want to write, we may be tired, feeling uninspired, or perhaps not confident in our own ability to create and thats okay. On the contrary, there are days where this brick wall fallacy is placed in our minds and if we grab it with both hands, then we really won't write or be creative, which creates a cycle, a never ending cycle of passing the blame on to "writers block" again. This is what makes it so dangerous and infective as the longer you put off your creativity the harder it is to start again.

This condition has almost developed into a bug which infects our whole system and is almost toxic towards our productivity. In order to remove this we need to eradicate the toxicity from our mind and acknowledge the real cause of why you may be experiencing this. To be aware of the resistance and tackling it will help towards freeing ourselves from it.

Some examples of the root cause:

1. Fear 
2. Tiredness 
3. High standards
4. Not knowing how to start 
5. Fear of not being accepted or not being good enough 

Ways to overcome this :

1. Morning pages - writing down everything that comes to your mind as soon as you wake up, unblocking your mind and allowing you creative juices to flow.
2. Brainstorming 
3. Take a break - sometimes I find I may have overworked my brain with my schedule and taking a break from something and returning back to it always helps.
4. Eliminate distractions 
5. Go for a walk
6. Don't try and be perfect

Eckhart Tolle suggests that we practise the area of stillness, whenever a creative solution is needed focus on your inner energy field. Become completely aware of the stillness around you solely focusing on it and when you resume thinking it will be fresh and creative.     

Remember the power lies within our minds and we have control of our parts of it including our creativity.
