If you want to know how Reset your creativity You are in the right place without leaving your home. You don’t need to pack or book a flight to really take a break. Honestly, some of the best color sleep I’ve ever had no TSA route or stay in a hotel. They are quiet moments at home, and it is built based on what brings me joy – books, tea, playlists and some room for breath. This summer, I tend to recover rather than exhaust the kind of escape. No jet lag required.
This is how I reset my creativity when life (or algorithms) start to feel too much.
I first need to clear the space on the numbers and on the body. This might mean half mute in my inbox, delete some apps over the weekend, or just rearrange my desk until it feels like a soft landing place. Sometimes I light a candle. Sometimes I buy new pens. Yes, it’s a bit dramatic. Yes, it works.
A diary is my first choice. Not the stressful kind that every sentence has to make sense, but the kind that I sprinkle my thoughts onto the page without editing. I keep a Pinterest board for diary tips and quotes that I like – if you’re not sure what to write, start there. I see it as a conversation with my past, present and future.
Books are my preferred approach. When I can’t go anywhere, I get the story of taking me to other places. Historical novels, magical realism or anything with a comfortable, immersive world will solve the problem. I built small stacks on the bed and let myself walk slowly, a quiet hour. Reading on my porch on a rainy weekend was a great reset for me.
Then there is music. A good playlist can change your entire mood. I have one called The morning is slow It feels like opening the windows in June, allowing just the right breeze and possibility. I play it while I’m diary, cooking, or daydreaming. You can’t beat it, either Mom Mia! Movie soundtrack.
Walking is also magical. I walk when I get stuck in sentences, or when I need to hear my own thoughts. I left my headphones at home and let my feet speak with rhythm. It’s not fancy, but it’s sacred. I recently discovered these daily walking hacks from EveryGirl and they upgraded my stroll from new places to creating a special walking playlist. It is highly recommended that you add some in the reset program.
Sometimes it’s sunshine, sometimes it’s silence between obligations, but when the right moment, I take me to a solo cafe date. A book came with me, and this is also a notebook. There is no expectation, only a table and time to pay attention to. I slowly, observe, let the world buzz around me without feeling the need to participate.
It reminds me of one of my favorite creative tools: Julia Cameron Artist’s Way. Her concept of “morning pages” (long mornings, the first thing on stream of consciousness pages) is one of the most solid and revealing practices in my creative life. It’s not good writing; it’s about clearing away mental confusion and for clarity.
Then comes the “Artist Date” – a weekly solo adventure that feeds your creative spirit. They don’t have to be extravagant. Bookstores wander, floral markets stroll, or, in a slow afternoon with your favorite pen and zero expectations cafe. That’s magic. This is the time spent Be with yourself and For yourself, And, it always makes me feel more inspired, more open, and more connected to my ideas.
If you have never tried a morning page or artist date, consider your nudge. They are simple but powerful ways to easily reconnect your creativity – no air ticket required.
Each morning, as we face the page, we meet ourselves. The pages give us a place to vent and a place to dream. They are intended for no eyes but our own. Julia Cameron
There are also some small things here that make my family heart feel like it’s retreating.
- Put my phone in airplane mode and pretend I can’t achieve it in the French countryside. Instant peace.
- Styling the corners of my house like a cozy corner: layered blankets, a pile of old magazines and a glass of sparkling stuff.
- Pick up the paint for quantity or embroidery kit. Creating without perfect pressure, there is something to meditate.
- Read the poem aloud in the kitchen as I waited for the kettle to boil. If it is Mary Oliver, reward points.
- Make a pinterest collage of dream retreats and slowly recreate an element in real life. (French Market Basketball? Already ordered.)

with your one wild and precious life? Mary Oliver
