When feeling down, it’s best to avoid creative work. Our brains often don’t work as well when we are feeling down, so it’s better to take a break or focus on simpler tasks that require less mental effort. However, this doesn’t mean that creativity should be avoided altogether. In fact, creativity is best done when you are in a good mood and have the energy to focus on the task at hand. If your mood isn't great, you may end up producing something that is subpar or even worse – garbage! It's important to recognize when your mind needs a break and give yourself permission to take one. Taking some time away from creative work can help restore your motivation and energy levels for when you do return to it. During this break period, it's also beneficial to engage in activities that will help lift your spirits such as exercising, spending time with friends or family, reading books or listening to music. This will not only help improve your mood but also increase productivity once you return back to creative tasks. Creativity is an important part of life and should be embraced rather than feared. Knowing when the right time is for engaging in creative activities can make all the difference between success and failure - so don't forget about taking breaks every now and then!
