#51 - Lost your creative fire? Hidden signs of burnout to watch out for.

My Food Lens

Is it possible to lose your passion for food photography?

Do you ever feel like you’re always doing so much, always working but it’s never enough?

You don’t feel like picking up your camera. The thought of it makes you feel tired.

You feel like you don’t have it in you anymore.

You’ve lost your creativity, your passion, your fire, your desire.

When you want to take a break, you feel guilty.

You tell yourself, you’re being lazy.

You never have time for anything.

You’re constantly trying to catch up and yet, always behind with so much to do.

But even though you feel tired, you ignore it and keep plowing through.

Why am I bringing this up?

..Because I experienced all of those feelings recently.

It is called burnout and it cannot be taken lightly.

Almost every creative person who is crafting a hobby, juggling a full time job, building a business or balancing a family while pursuing their art, is prone to this. It can hit us at different times & in different ways.
In this episode, I want to share the hidden signs of burnout you should watch out for if you feel like you’ve lost your creative spark.

If you’ve not been motivated to pick up your camera, the thought of photography makes you feel tired or you’ve been feeling stuck, and taking a break has not helped …you might be burned out.

Contrary to what most think, burnout is not a creative block or tiredness. It is more complex than that.
Burnout does not go away easily. It can take months. That’s why, don’t let it enter your creative world in the first place.

Don’t assume it will never happen to you just because photography is not a business for you. Burnout hits creatives as hard as it hits businesses and Corporates. The hit is even worse when it is unexpected & we assume that our passion and love for photography is untouchable.

Do you feel like you’ve lost your creative spark and nothing is helping?
