This is an issue that I think deserves the attention of artists. Your post reminds me of an article by Nadra Nittle earlier this year that covered statistics about problems artists often face. Nittle reported on the issue of 121% of artists’ suicide – much higher than the public’s 50% when it comes to mental illness. So if artists don’t solve Artist Blocks as quickly as possible, it will cause psychological problems. In fact, I’ve been through Mental Block myself, where I’ve always questioned myself about my abilities and even criticized myself for other people’s judgments about my artistic work. Luckily, I overcame this challenge using one of the methods you’ve shared here – resting and being in nature.

In addition to the very clear and detailed methods you give, one method that can be used as a tip to overcome the Artist’ Block that I find useful is “Write a summary of your goal. in handwriting”. I think that in order to overcome Artist Blocks, having a clear direction and specific goals will help Artists a lot. This method will somewhat help them in looking directly at the problems they face and how to overcome those problems step by step once they have a specific plan. We can stick this summary in places where you usually look (refrigerator, the wall at your desk, computer’s screen, etc. to be handy in reminding themselves where they’ve come in the way of reaching the goals they set.

We all always face many problems in life, becoming an artist will also have certain difficulties. I hope that we will all overcome these challenges and become the best version of each other at the end of the journey.
