What if your biggest creative breakthroughs were just one habit away?

We all know that feeling—stuck in a creative rut, unsure of the next steps, and it’s dragging you down both creatively and professionally.

Whether it’s the lack of inspiration or the overwhelming number of tasks on your plate, it can be paralyzing. But getting unstuck is possible with the right habits and mindset shifts.

This week, I’ve curated three powerful resources to help you break free from stagnation and reignite your creative and professional energy.

Inspiration and Action

“Getting started, keeping going, getting started again—in art and in life, it seems to me this is the essential rhythm not only of achievement but of survival, the ground of convinced action, the basis of self-esteem and the guarantee of credibility in your lives, credibility to yourselves as well as to others.” - Seamus Heaney
Actionable Tip: Start a simple intention & reflection practice
Take one minute to identify a single opportunity you’re excited to explore today.
Write it down (it can be as simple as an opportunity to water the plants).
At the end of the day, reflect on how you engaged with that opportunity. Write it down and reflect on it the next day.

Reflect and Act

Feeling stuck can be frustrating, but it’s also an opportunity to pause, reflect, and realign with your goals.

By adopting small, consistent habits and making time for reflection, you can reignite your creative spark and move forward with renewed energy.

What’s the one thing that you just can’t seem to get unstuck, no matter what you try?

Hit reply and share your experience with me—I’ll respond with a suggestion or resource that might help.

Have a great week!

Flux & Flow Issue #66 How Creative Insights Become Creative Work We are insight-generating machines. As creatives, we’ve honed our imagination and observation to the point where ideas surface almost without effort. They show up while reading. During conversations. Or in that quiet space between focused activity. You make a connection. You notice something interesting. You jot it down on a Post-It or in your sketchbook. And then it sits there. More ideas accumulate. More connections get...

Flux & Flow Issue #65 Closing Loops Without Starting Over It’s that time of year again. The season of year-end reviews, big-picture reflection, and ambitious goal setting. The feeds fill with frameworks, yearly review challenges, and the inevitable counter-message urging you to ignore all of it.
