Emotional Wasteland

How do I create when I am depressed, anxious, and completely uninspired?  This is an excellent question.  Some days I push myself to create, regardless of the emotional wasteland I find myself in.  Other days, I give myself the break I clearly need.  Today is a break sort of day.  I've been trying to journal and to draw, but nothing seems right.  I have the deep longing to create, but lack the ability today.

What do all of you do when you feel blocked creatively?  Do you take a break?  Do you push yourselves to keep trying?

I think I may start sharing some of my writings on this blog as well as the artwork I've been sharing.  Sometimes it helps others to see that they're not alone.  While my journals are relatively private, I think there's a lot that I can share.  Even if it's not a journal entry, but a line of thinking.

Healing and Peace,

Jenny
