So, you’re in a funk…now what?
Full disclosure here, I've been in a creative "funk" lately. I can't seem to come up with an idea to save my life! Then it dawned on me. I have been wallowing in this whole I can't come up with an idea, I've got nothing to say/write so much so that I have essentially created a creative funk!
"Wallow" has many meanings, including "staying in a situation or state without trying to change". Hey, I have nothing against wallowing at all for sure! It can serve a purpose. For me? It has been providing a reason for not putting something out there, it has also become a subject of conversation and a reason to not take my laptop out. On the other hand, It has started to become a bit of a thorn in my side and like any irritation, I have decided it is time to do something about it!
So, how does one get out of a funk?
Probably the first thing is to actually realize that you are in one.
Next - start to ask yourself, what do I want to do about it? Seem like a silly question? Like I mentioned above, sometimes wallowing in a funk is providing a benefit that you are finding useful. Fair enough, then don't do anything about it yet.
However, if, like me, and you decide that you have had enough of it you will probably notice an instant change. A decision to move forward from the funk alone becomes your "first step". That step (just one) starts to spark some energy. So, this short blog is exactly that, my step to get out of the funk.
Why did I share this with you? Because I know 100% that I am not alone when it comes to getting in a funk and I wanted to demonstrate that by taking one little step, you can start getting out of the funk and moving forward. It works! One baby step. Walking the talk. This is what I recommend to ALL of my clients who are working towards changes in their lives. Take the first step. I guarantee, others will follow!
