7 Steps For Getting Creatively Unstuck!
Getting creatively stuck happens. However, it doesn’t have to happen. You don’t have to sit with your head in your hands, pulling out your hair while you struggle with writer’s block. Get creatively unstuck!
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
Jeremiah 33:3 ESV
The Lord is faithful. He is merciful toward us. Jesus said, “Ask, knock, seek.” When you are creatively stuck, get yourself lined up with the Creator. Start with these creative pump-priming ideas!
1. Getting Creatively Unstuck—Pray It Out.
It may seem like a strange thing to do when you need to be creative, but Paul encourages us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). It would stand to reason that since we should be praying all the time, we can pray about everything that comes up in our lives, in our businesses, or in our days. Take a few minutes, focus your mind and energy, and pray about the task that needs your creative attention.
2. Getting Creatively Unstuck—Be still.
We are busy. We glorify busy. This is the hard one for me—Mrs. Type-A! Theologian Dallas Willard said, “Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.” Slow down. Stand still. Pray and listen to what the Lord is saying to you. He will prompt you toward a solution to your problems, even if that problem is that you feel creatively stuck.
Now therefore stand still and see this great thing that the Lord will do before your eyes.
1 Samuel 12:16
3. Getting Creatively Unstuck—Seek out inspiration.
One of my favorite ways to get inspired is to go looking for it. Sometimes, inspiration is found in the way the sunlight comes through the trees in my yard. Sometimes, inspiration is discovered while browsing through posts on Pinterest. Sometimes, it is gleaned from looking up scripture and asking the question, “What does the Bible say about…?”
The right inspiration will get you unstuck every time, but you must have an open mind to see what is staring you in the face.
4. Getting Creatively Unstuck—Open your mind to a different idea.
Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtains guidance.
Proverbs 1:5
Often when we get stuck creatively, it is because we have set our minds on a certain idea, solution, or plan. This scripture is great because it describes what the wise do—they hear and increase learning. This implies the wise are listening. Getting unstuck may require you to talk out your problem, listen to other solutions, or listen to ideas that seem contrary to yours. In addition to listening, seek to understand. It is in the listening and the understanding where learning and guidance prevail.
5. Getting Creatively Unstuck—Talk it out.
There is nothing like a good brainstorming or brain-dumping session. You can do this on your own by just writing down every idea, solution, or problem that comes to mind. Or, you can do it with a group of people. No answer is judged. Some of my best ideas have been sparked by someone else’s outrageous or impossible input. You never know what will inspire or set off a chain of thoughts that lead right to the answer you need.
6. Getting Creatively Unstuck—Reflect and remember.
Take a quick moment and reflect on the ways God has come through for you when you have felt creatively dry or stuck. What happened? What did you do? What did God do for you? Remind yourself of God’s faithfulness and the fact He cares for all aspects of your life.
7. A Prayer for Getting Creatively Unstuck
Lord Jesus, thank You for telling me great and hidden things as I call on You for answers. Thank You for answering as I ask, seek, and knock regarding my creative ability. Lord, show me the steps You would have me take to release the creative talents you have blessed me with as part of my divine design. Let me only say and do what You, Jesus, would say and do. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Taking Time to Love Your Business
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands!
Psalm 90:17
Love is in the air! Just like every February. This year, why not show some love to your business? Try out these suggestions to help your business grow.
Send personal notes to your clients.
You might not have the type of business where you can send a personal note to each customer; if that’s the case, you can pick out a strategic few. Consider how much more of an impact you can have if the note is handwritten. Keep it short and personal. Think of it as a professional “Valentine” for your clients and customers.
Reach out with a handwritten inquiry to a new contact.
Who is the one person you’ve wanted to contact and start building a relationship? This is a networking contact that has the potential to show your business love and for whom you can reciprocate. Send a personal and specific handwritten note introducing yourself and offering value to your contact. Spend some time creating your letter. Don’t forget to politely request a response or offer a specific time you will follow-up.
Use this short month to accomplish that “to-do” you keep pushing back.
Boy, do I need this one! The list grows! We all have that thing on our to-do list we push back from month to month. Use these 28 days to get it done. Focus on the fact that you only have this month to finish it, and finally cross it off the list!
Invest in yourself to grow your biz.
You can’t do it all by yourself. Now, we superwomen can do a lot, but there are some things you just need help with. Take some time to determine a good way to invest in yourself or in your business to help it grow. Maybe you should commit to a coaching program, or perhaps your investment should be in a virtual assistant to help free up your time. You know what area of your business needs some love better than anyone.
Take some time off to recharge.
Entrepreneurs tend to work all the time. So, it is very important we schedule time off to rest and recharge. Taking a little time off for self-care can open up the creative flow again. Rest can actually make you more productive and more creative. Consider taking a break when your ideas are starting to feel stale.
Schedule a brainstorming session.
If you are stuck and not coming up with new ideas or the next steps on how to grow your business, schedule a session with some trusted business women. Brainstorming sessions should focus on collecting as many ideas as possible without filtering and without judging. Once you get a list, you can discuss which idea will work best for you. You can also use a brainstorming session to help devise an implementation plan for an idea you already have.
You know your business better than anyone. You know where it needs a little TLC and what is going well. Take some time to give yourself and/or your business a little extra love this month. It will help enhance your clarity, improve your creativity, and invigorate your purpose.
Blessings,
Karen Lindwall-Bourg

Overcoming Entrepreneurial Overwhelm!
“There are very few certainties that touch us all in this mortal experience, but one of the absolutes is that we will experience hardship and stress at some point.”
—James Dobson
…BUT why does this stress have to be so exacerbated during the holidays?
I love this time of year! Not only is everything beautifully decorated and oh-so romantic with lights, music, and the smells of the holiday season; it is also a time to look back on the year and evaluate successes and challenges and to look at accomplished goals and places where I fell short of my dreams.
During that self-evaluation process, I am sure not to judge myself too harshly—after all, life does happen, and even with my best intentions things just don’t always come together as planned. Fortunately for us, the Lord directs our steps.
Proverbs 16:9 states, “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”
God’s answer is the real power that shapes events and enables me to give the right answer and take the right steps.
Reflection
Another part of my evaluation process involves looking at how I felt while accomplishing my goals. This might not seem relevant, but being frustrated, overwhelmed, or disorganized while trying to make things happen can actually keep them from happening!
One of the reasons I like looking at my goals around Christmas and New Year’s is because this is one of the busiest times of year. Having a lot to do in a little bit of time and the stresses that surround the season may lead to a renewal of those feelings that kept me from achieving my goals. So, when I start to feel that oh-so-familiar overwhelm and frustration, I can focus on solutions for my next set of goals.
When I look at my goals and the never-ending to-do list, I will do a few things differently this time to help soothe that sense of “oh-my-how-will-I-ever-get-this-done” panic. Let’s work on these together this season!
Get Organized
Find something that works for you, and stick to it. It doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated. Use a spreadsheet or an online project management tool. Basecamp works for me, but there are many others available. Just keep it simple. Your time-organizing project should not take more time to construct than it takes to complete the items on your to-do list (talking to myself, here!).
Schedule, Schedule, Schedule
This is one of the most underrated and under-observed skills. Create a quarter or a year’s worth of goals and put a realistic timeline on them. You can’t make your life and business dreams come true by wishing. There has to be a concrete plan. Part of that plan includes putting firm deadlines on your goals. Making those timelines and each action step concrete will be a huge help in limiting overwhelm while achieving your goals. After all, it is often procrastination that makes us feel pressure to complete things, which leads to stress, overwhelm, and frustration.
…or…
Work Through & Celebrate Your POWER-HOUR!
Blocking off 15, 30, 45 minutes or an hour to focus on one specific task has worked well for me. Set a time, power through the hour, and see how much you can accomplish! Celebrate what you have achieved rather than mourning over what you didn’t compete.
Hire Help
While it might seem weird to hire help during the holidays, it will help you keep up continuity in your business while you attend to all your holiday festivities. The absolute best way to achieve your goals is to get help. You can’t do it all by yourself. You need someone who can help shoulder the workload. You can outsource small stuff like research or reports. You can hire experts to manage your social media. You can contract with a freelance writer to keep up your blog posts and other writing. You can hire a virtual assistant to help with almost anything (thank you, Courtenay!). For busy moms, I suggest a housekeeper. You’d be surprised what a load that takes off (thanks, Lorena!).
Take some time to think about how you feel during this busy time of year and how those same feelings may carry over into other projects later in the year. Now, as you write your goals for the year, add in solutions for overcoming those difficult spots. Solutions may include:
- Taking a weekend retreat to pray, plan, and write your goals.
- Hiring help in the form of a VA, freelance writer, social media expert, or housekeeper.
- Setting realistic timelines on your goals, especially if you are working with a team.
- Planning on days off when you unplug and focus on things that are not your business.
Comment below with solutions you will write into your goals this next year to help you avoid overwhelm at the holidays and all year long! The Lord’s certain purpose and His answers will stand in spite of and in the midst of my plans. Don’t wait until you feel you are at the end of your rope!
Blessings,
Karen Lindwall-Bourg

Navigating the Back Roads of Life
Do you need a guide for Navigating the Back Roads of Life?
Over the last month, our family has spent a lot of time driving from our home which is about an hour north of Dallas to my mother-in-love’s home in San Antonio. Now when you look at a map this is a pretty straight shot via Highway 75 and Highway 35; that’s it! Barring any terrible traffic mishaps it should take about 5 hours. Taking the “back roads” supposedly adds about 45-minutes to the jaunt! Supposedly!
I have always been amazed at my husband Fred and my sister Anita’s ability to navigate the back roads of Texas to reach their destinations. I, on the other hand, have no sense of direction whatsoever and would be hard-pressed to tell you whether I was facing north or east or south or west at any given time.
I am also GPS – Gullible, (im)Patient, & yet Suspicious – of computerized map systems!
We spent precious hours visiting Mama Jo, helping take care of her, doing odd jobs for family members, reminiscing, and making sure her last days were as comfortable as possible. We celebrated the end of her life over a period of months and weeks, and then we celebrated fully the beginning of her life with the Lord on this first Sunday in July. On our way home I followed Fred, but engaged my MapQuest GPS just in case I lost sight of him on those “back roads”.
Do you talk back to your GPS “voice”? For an hour out of San Antonio the MapQuest computer voice asked me to make a U-turn every 2 miles:
“Make a U-turn at Main Street;
make a U-turn at Frontage Road;
make a U-turn at Bob’s Road…”
I’m by myself in the car saying, “What?” “A U-turn?” “Am I lost?” Five hours later as we went through the remote city of Cleburne, my MapQuest voice asked me to make right and left and U-turns for at least 30 minutes before “she” finally gave up and began to reroute me on Highway 51. Obscure Highway 51.
Can you relate to these frustrations? Please tell me I am not alone!
I felt sure that at any given moment this little voice was going to start screaming and screeching at me,
“Have you lost your mind?
Are you purposefully trying to become lost?
How am I supposed to get you home when you won’t listen to the directions I am giving you?”
Now, I feel like screaming at the “voice” who won’t respond unless it is to tell me make another U-turn or at Fred in the car in front of me. After all he is the one who got us into this back road debacle!
Christ says,
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” – Matthew 7:13-14 (ESV)
In spite of ourselves and our purposeful attempts to navigate our own paths, God offers us clear navigation; there is only one way to spend eternity with Him and that is through belief in His Son Jesus Christ – in His life, in His death on the cross, and in His resurrection and preparation of a place for us.
“Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you will get neither.” – C.S. Lewis
Mama Jo knew this straight and narrow path well and nephew Joseph communicated this course clearly in her celebration services. She desired to go home and knew that she had chosen the right way; the one navigable path. And yet even though she desired and requested that her suffering be short and that the pain be limited, she lingered for some time in discomfort. Her loved ones encouraged her with songs, Scripture readings, by spending time with her and assuring her that the day would surely come when she would be wrapped in the arms of Jesus. The path of suffering was less clear cut. And all we could do was encourage her to live through this journey in a way that brought God glory and honor. And this she did.
I am grateful for the way Mama Jo embraced my family and folded us into her own. I am grateful for her unwavering faith and enduring patience and her testimony to the Lord that showed us the non-negotiable Way.
I am slowly learning that God has a purpose for the back road experiences of my life and that He is there – The Sufficient Navigator on a path of inspiration and insight that brings Him Glory and Honor.
May God give us strength for this life’s journey through the end. May He make us to see the straight path He has set before us.
Seek Inspiration and Insight!
Blessings,
Karen Lindwall-Bourg

Basics of Becoming a Writer
“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. There’s no way around these two elements that I’m aware of, no shortcut.”
You have started your business and have the all-too-real awareness that you are now required to write. At a minimum, you probably need to write your business bio. If you are creating a website, you will have a lot more to write, or you will have to hire someone to do it for you. But, before you do that, consider these basics of becoming a writer.
All of us have the ability to write. My first piece of advice is to stop freaking out about writing. If you can talk – you can write. At first, it may need some editing, but if you can string your ideas together and tell someone about yourself or your business, you can write. Here are practical approaches to getting started, composing, and improving your writing.
Getting started.
Many professional writers will tell you the hardest part is getting started. For some, it is the blank page; for others, it is the act of putting yourself in front of the screen and actually typing. Procrastination is one of the most common reasons for not finishing your writing. So to get started, follow these tips.
Brainstorm to get going.
I love to brainstorm everything. I will do it for everything from business strategy to meal planning. Brainstorming is way to get all the ideas out of your head and onto a piece of paper or on the screen. Don’t hold back when you brainstorm. WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN. It doesn’t matter if it sounds like the worst idea on the planet it gets spit out of your head and onto the page. Don’t judge anything while you brainstorm. This is counterproductive and will freeze you up.
You can set a timer for a set period while you have a personal brainstorm session. You can also work with another person or a group of people. No matter who you work with, same rules apply. Everything gets written down—nothing gets judged as useless, stupid, or off topic.
Once time is up, then review your ideas. Determine which ones you will keep, which ones are irrelevant, and which ones should be revisited later. This is also a great way to always have ideas so if writer’s block sneaks up on you there is fodder for content.
Look for inspiration.
This can be tricky. All of us have done it. We think I will just go on Facebook or Pinterest for a second. I just need to clear my head or get a little inspiration. Then we get sucked in and three hours later nothing is done. We are frustrated and we still haven’t started our writing. I have definitely been there—it is my go-to procrastination technique. (Shhh…don’t tell).
There is something to be said for seeking inspiration when you are getting started. Setting limits to seeking inspiration is a great way to make sure you stay on track and get started. Get out your handy-dandy timer and put a limit on your search. When I go looking to be inspired, I have some go-to sites. I love looking up quotes and scripture.
Another way I get inspired is to get away from the gadgets. Go outside. Take a walk. Stare at the trees. Take off your shoes and walk in the grass. Observe the nature around you. Meditate on the wonder and miracles of God in your surroundings.
Start with pen and paper.
As old fashioned as it sounds, there is something that happens in your brain when you put pencil to paper. There are times when I want to use the computer to write. I use the computer when I know exactly what I want to write and it’s all mapped out in my head. I also use the computer when I am writing for business.
However, my prayer journal is all pen and paper. Things I write for myself are often on pen and paper. Some of my best writing starts out in my journal or as a personal struggle I am working through. This is a way to slow down, connect with your ideas and your words. It is also a great way to connect with God and the Holy Spirit. It gives you the opportunity to listen as your write.
Start simple with your writing.
Don’t go for perfection. Don’t go for a Pulitzer prize winning piece of literature. Just start simple. Start with short simple sentences. They will create short simple paragraphs. Simple is the best way to get your ideas out of your head and onto paper.
When you are getting started with writing, you want to aim for finished. Unedited, error-ridden, spelling-goofs, punctuation-omissions, forgotten-caps rough draft. A rough draft is a finished draft. You can’t get close to finishing until you get a rough draft.
Blessings,
Karen Lindwall-Bourg
