The ideas stop. Everything feels harder than it should be, and we start to convince ourselves we\u2019re failing because we\u2019re tired. We are good at being hard on ourselves. In this episode, Patrik and I talk honestly about burnout, losing your creative mojo, and why being hard on yourself usually makes everything worse. We share some of the things that help us get through those stuck periods, from giving ourselves permission to make bad art, to stepping away for a bit, to remembering that creativity doesn\u2019t completely disappear just because your energy does. Patrik also shares his thoughts on the difference between being creatively blocked and simply being burned out (which honestly explained a lot for me). If you\u2019ve been feeling overwhelmed, uninspired, or guilty for not creating \u201cenough,\u201d this episode is a good reminder that you\u2019re probably a lot more normal than you think. And hopefully by the end, you\u2019ll have laughed a bit and felt more like your creative self\u2026 and maybe even be ready to make something again.       ","author_name":"CRAFTCAST","author_url":"http:\/\/craftcast.libsyn.com","html":"
