Too often have I found myself getting into a creative rut, so when I came across a post on Make and Meaning about Rutkickers, I felt a little better knowing that I’m not alone in this department.
In the past some of my favorite rutkickers have been:
- Stream of conscious writing
- Cleaning
- Exercising
- Singing out loud
- Calling a friend to talk
- Playing with Riley (our Beagle)
- Searching for new music
- Lighting candles all around my creative space
But even some rutkickers need a shake up, which has made me work towards new ones including:
- Enjoying a cup of lemon ginger tea
- Sitting on the patio and making shapes out of the clouds
- Mailing a friend a note just to say hi
- Flipping through a recipe magazine
- Doodling
- Taking a walk
