Designers use their brains a lot all the time. No, I'm not saying other people don't. It's just that all creatives are paid to think, and good ideas don't come anytime as they please. The fact that the Eureka moment doesn't happen as we want it always prove to be a little frustrating, especially when a dateline is on the horizon. So what happens? We can't stop ourselves from thinking day in day out!
But difficult as it may seem, I've learnt that putting all deep thoughts aside for a moment may be the roadmap to keep those creative juices flowing. LifeClever offers the following 'exercises' which may be good for a creative's overall mental being (ah that's an exaggeration).
