Things to make you go Mmmm…

"To encourage creativity by sharing more inspiration than any electronic artist.”
Three thoughts for your creativity and one on mine.
3 for you:
Have an Unblock Party.
“When you’re having trouble thinking of new ideas, go to one of your old ideas and rework it.” Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson
The crooked path to success.
"Finding your way in life is like unlocking the combination of a safe. You have to go forwards and backwards. Life is not a direct march from A to B. The twists and turns are progress, not regression. What feels like a setback in the moment is later revealed to have been part of the path all along. Each move was necessary to get to your end goal." - James Clear
The route to real change.
“…next time you find yourself stuck in the rut of routine, stop asking “What do I want to do?” and instead ask, “How do I want to feel?”
Profound changes often begin—not with the right answers—but with the right questions.” - Ozan Varol
1 from me
Overcome Your Creative Blocks.
“Creative blocks are frustrating, but they’re part of the process. One of the best ways to break through is to change your perspective.
Step away, take a walk, or try a different creative activity—anything that shifts your mind out of the rut.
Sometimes, setting a small, achievable goal helps. Rather than aiming for perfection, just start with a single note, brushstroke, or line.
Often, the act of creating—no matter how small—begins to build momentum.
Remember, blocks aren’t walls; they’re invitations to explore new angles. So, experiment, play, and let curiosity lead you back into flow.”
Until next week
