"Overcoming Creative Blocks: The Psychology Behind Your Stuck Moments with Dr. Will Washington" - Mindset

Join Nyomi Banks and resident therapist Dr. Will Washington for a transformative Mindset Monday exploration of creative blocks and the psychology behind feeling stuck. This powerful episode reveals the four main causes of creative blockages and provides practical strategies to break through them during our June series on Creativity & Expression.

 **The Four Root Causes of Creative Blocks:**

1. **Disorganized Planning & Environment** - Your creative space and life structure may not support your artistic flow
2. **Lifestyle Exhaustion** - Overwork and relationship stress can drain your creative energy 
3.  **Skill Development Challenges** - Learning curves can feel daunting and create resistance
4. . **Unclear Creative Vision** - Not trusting that your creation already exists and needs manifestation

**Dr. Will's Revolutionary "Mountain Method":**

• Draw your creative goal at the mountain top
• - Identify three daily actions: morning, midday, and evening - Create discipline through consistent timing - Plan both the ascent AND descent of your creative journey '
• - Remember: discipline gives reward, motivation keeps you going

 Key Episode Highlights: - Personal stories of creative transformation and breakthrough

•  - The shower recording technique for capturing spontaneous creativity
• - Understanding creative blocks as acceptance opportunities
• - The importance of creative community and inspiration
• - How fear becomes a creative ingredient rather than obstacle
•  - Creative responsibility and accountability in the artistic process

**Creative Challenge:** Name one block holding you back and take one small creative step forward this week - whether doodling, writing, humming, or even reading (which Dr. Will reminds us is also a creative process!).

This episode beautifully demonstrates how creativity flows when we remove judgment, embrace our authentic selves, and take responsibility for our artistic gifts. Features insights that complement the Year of ReBirth workbook and continues our powerful June exploration of Creativity & Expression.
