Thoughts on creativity, silence, and letting go.

There’s a rhythm I’ve trusted for years . The best ideas don’t come through force, they come through space.

They come when I step away. They come in the space of stillness and usually when I least expect it.

In the early days, I’d get pulled into the vortex of overthinking, zooming in, trying to grind out the answer to what I was trying to solve. But slowly, through experience, I noticed a pattern - 'Clarity always came after the letting go'.

Now it’s instinct… although there are times I need to re-remind myself.
But I know when to step back, take a walk, shift focus. and let the background mind do its thing.

And that’s where the magic happens!
Not under pressure, but in the pause. Not through force, but through flow.

As a designer and problem solver, this has become a core part of how I work.
… And absolutely, the process and structure matters.
But the spark? The spark needs space. It needs trust. It needs you to stop trying so hard.

And this is true for life too.
When we ease off, things move again.
Answers arrive.
Energy returns.
And somehow, what felt impossible suddenly feels obvious.

It’s not about doing more.
It’s about allowing more.
