There's a subtle difference between stimulating your creativity and refuelling. 

External stimulation - such as looking at the work of other artists - can get me working. But it's going inwards to refuel or replenish that helps me stay the course.

​​If you're feeling a bit unstimulated at the moment, you might get some insight as to why with this quick and simple exercise from Eric Maisel's marvellous book, Coaching the Artist Within.
​
Just write at least a paragraph in answer to the following three questions:

  • What generates mental energy?
  • What saps mental energy?
  • What replenishes mental energy?

Feel free to share your answers to the questions in the comments below.
