## Resource

Creative block feels eminently real: it feels like some magical channel closes and our creative ideas are nowhere to be found. But creative block is nothing more than a very tempting illusion. Really creativity is our natural state. When we aren’t creating, it means only that our creativity needs something from us. In this installment of The Spark Sessions: Resourcing for Creativity , creativity coach Rachel Efron explores what happened when the most creatively alive season of her life was interrupted by a devastating fire in her home. For the first time in her life, she felt creativity blocked. But rather than surrender she tried using her own methods on herself. She asked herself what she asks whenever someone comes to her blocked: what is the missing resource for creativity to come back online? In her case, it was rest.
