Somehow I became very interested in astrophysics, which led me to an insight into creativity. Namely, I had a great analogy about black holes and creative stupor.
What is a black hole? Forgive me professional physicists, I will present it as I saw it. Imagine that a certain star lives in space, let's call it conditionally Zaya. So, in our Zai, biochemical reactions are constantly taking place. It cooks and cooks something, its structure becomes heavier, the elements collide, become denser and more massive. At one point, Zaya does not have enough strength to emit light and heat, and she begins to rapidly shrink. There are at least 2 options for what will happen to Zaya. One of them - it will explode and give birth to new stars and planets. And the second option - if Zaya gained too much weight, under the influence of massive gravity, she will collapse and form a Black Hole. The gravity in our new Black Zay will be so great that even rays of light will not be able to leave it. What can we say about the brave kamikaze astronauts.
Want one of the secrets of creativity? Try to find analogies where they are not usually looked for. I tried it with a black hole. And that's what happened.
Imagine Zoya, who is … twenty years old. She has long wanted to write a book about stars. Zoya is in love with astrophysics, and she does not care that she is an accountant, she is sick with space. But Zoya is a perfectionist. She does not create anything. Zoya collects information, reads Talmuds of scientific literature, attends countless conferences, talks with experts. Zoya is actively building up a ton of knowledge about the stars.
When Zoya is asked to write an article on space, she shrugs it off: “What an article, I want to write a bible about space. And in general, I still do not have enough knowledge, I am a layman. Zoya refuses to radiate her creativity, all her strength is spent on cooking an ingenious book in her head.
At one point, Zoya is gaining critical mass, and instead of blowing it up with a book, she continues to accumulate knowledge. She's scared. What will people say? The book is not perfect. And Zoya's love for space collapses. A creative crisis comes to our accountant, she cannot write a single line, and soon abandons this idea, explaining it with a simple "it is not given to me." The porridge in my head turns sour and the dream of writing a book remains an all-consuming Black Hole.
This sad and instructive story about the bird Zoya prompted me to think:
- In nature, everything is interconnected. You need to look there more often)
- Our psyche is a kind of vessel. To prevent it from bursting, it should be emptied periodically.
- When you take a lot and refuse to give, you can collapse. Namely, there comes a certain moment of no return, when you simply cannot give. It's interesting to look at this from a relationship point of view.
- A creative crisis is often the result of a refusal to act, a halt due to "not ideal", "who needs this", "what people will say", "I am capable of more."
- In order not to bury the dream, you have to do it. No, do not perform feats. Step. One step a day, giving away the old and making room for the new.
- Endless corrections take your creation "to the table". Let it go to the reader / viewer / world. Even if it isn't perfect, the next one will be better. But there is no room for the next one while you correct the current one.
Want to write? Write 3 pages. Do this every day. I don't care how it turns out at the beginning. You don't build skill without doing.
Do you want to dance? Go to a dance lesson at a nearby house. Can't you? They are all like that!
Do you want to paint? Buy crayons, draw what comes to mind. Present the creation to your grandmother and tell her that this is the avant-garde. Believe me, your work will always be perfect for her.
Write, sing, dance, speak, take the first steps. Make a mistake. Radiate your creativity, give your thoughts, words, deeds, warmth to the world. Make room for fresh ideas, new creations.

Creative people delight and inspire, annoy and drive to insanity with their actions. And not because they deliberately want to cheat you, but simply because they are so complicated. Very often they are credited with various diagnoses based on the classification of personality disorders.
