Taking the creative leap and starting anywhere seems to me to be the clue to finding a creative flow state. As Picasso said: 'Inspiration does exist but it must catch you working.' If you wait for inspiration you are in a state of idling - wasting fuel: perhaps with the associated states of anxiety and frustration; questioning ones motives; comparing oneself to others and countless other negative rabbit holes. As soon as one enters the creative arena, wherever that happens to be, one must make a start, pick up the paint brush, move a piece of paper to be next to another, open a sketchbook and record a shape seen perhaps in last night’s dream without waiting throw oneself into the sea..no waiting to acclimatise to the cold water. There you are.. and quickly the moment of submersion has passed and all is flow once more.
