This thought came to me as I get ready to do a body detox. I can detox the body but I also want to detox the mind which led to the thought of detoxing the mind of creativity ideas and focus on the ones that actually might work for me.
What does this creative detox entail? Hypothetically speaking… the detox would remove all creative urges that one has an idea that they will not help them take the next step.
I think of the creative mind being cluttered with ideas that are sparked by the inspiration we get from seeing other’s creative work. And now that social media gives us access to so many creative people we get inflamed with all these creative urges to create things that are fan-work rather than our own work.
Just as a body detox removes toxins from the body so to a creative detox would remove toxins (a surplus of inspiration that is not for us) from the creative mind.
The steps to do so are yet to be determined. I’ll elaborate on this in the future.
