48: How to Get Your Creative Mojo Back

The Photographer's Podcast - A podcast by Nicole Hill - Horizon Found Photography Education - Wednesdays

Categories:

Photographers, listen up! I've got two questions for ya today... Question number 1: When’s the last time you wanted to pursue an amazing & creative idea but never followed through because you felt like you never had enough time? Question number 2: How many hours a day do you spend scrolling social media? It kinda hurts when you think about these two questions side by side, doesn't it? It kinda hurts when we realize how much time we spend each day scrolling and looking at someone else's life, or creations, rather than living and creating our own. Now, I’m not telling you to throw away your phone ... HECK NO. Phones are a big part of our jobs as photographers. We need them to stay connected. What we don’t need is for our phones to control us, and suck us in. We owe it to ourselves and to our ideas to create, to live, to step away from screens every once in a while and find that creative spark in ourselves again (even when it feels way easier to loaf on the couch and scroll). It reminds me of this quote from Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Big Magic: “The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them. The hunt to discover those jewels––that's creative living.” On the podcast this week I want to talk about finding your creativity again, finding that spark of magic inside you, that jewel buried deep and bringing it to life.
