Writers have writer's block, bloggers have blogger's block and creative folks have dry spells, which spells crisis for their creative activities.
Ask any artist and they will tell you that they can only create when they are in the right mood.
Okay, so the question is what do they need to do to get into that mood? Why can't writers, bloggers and artists write, blog and paint all the time with the same fervor and creativity? Well, the reality is and you probably guessed it; is that they actually can, but don't.
The best way to overcome writer's block is to start writing, writing anything, allowing the creative juices to flow.
The best way to overcome blogger's block and I know what you are saying, you are laughing at the whole blogger's block syndrome, but it is real, you can ask any persnickety blogger and they will tell you about it; anyway the best way to overcome blogger's block is to just start blogging.
So, then it makes sense for a painter, sculpture or architectural designer to just start painting, sculpting or designing write, I mean right? Yes, exactly.
Just start creating, and if that sounds too difficult, look at pictures of what other painters, designers or sculptors have done and start asking; "What If?" What if the colors were changed here, what if the background was modified, and what if the mountain was an ocean, what if the house was on a mountain instead of the prairie? What if? This allows the visualization and creativity to jump forward.
Then while your creative juices are flowing, start the brush brushing, or the chisel chiseling or the design to take shape.
This is one type of exercise that can work for you to overcome creative crisis.
