What if you haven't lost your creativity, you've just stopped giving it your full attention?
In this solo episode of Decoding the Flow, Drica Lobo explores what it means to get obsessed with your creativity again, not in an unhealthy, all-consuming way, but in the way that makes you excited to return to your work, think about your ideas throughout the day, and become deeply curious about what you're creating.
Drica shares what she's been noticing in her own creative life: how distractions can dilute our excitement, why waiting for inspiration may have the process backwards, and how giving something your full attention can actually create more curiosity, inspiration, and momentum.
She also shares how she's been priming her mornings before allowing the outside world in, creating clarity around what deserves her attention, and using time blocking to stay connected to multiple creative projects without giving everything only a fraction of her energy.
Because maybe you don't need another idea. Maybe you don't need more motivation.
Maybe your creativity just needs more of you.
