## Caption

If you’re stuck creatively, stop trying so hard.

Your best ideas rarely show up when you demand them.
They show up when your mind is relaxed and slightly distracted.

Give your brain a decoy task.
Go for a walk. Do the washing up. Tidy something.

Lower the pressure… and suddenly the thinking comes back.

Some ideas don’t want to enter through the front door.
They sneak in when you’re not looking.
