Blog Post: How I Find Content + 60 Lifestyle Blog Post Title Ideas

Hi my friends! I hope your day is smashing! This is a re-post from 2018 and sometimes for content, I go back to previous articles I’ve written and repurpose them if I feel they’re still relevant that is! I thought this topic fit the bill. Now, if you’re a blogger, content creator or influencer, than this should inspire you.

As a creator, finding good content is essential especially if you run a very successful brand and you’ve built a community around it. Your audience, viewers, customers want exciting products, announcements, tips, or materials if you teach or coach. And sometimes, creator’s block creeps in!

I’ve been a blogger since about 2013, I ran several cooking blogs at the time and over the course of the years, I’ve done several more and I have to say I’m only committed now to the BellaArt Creatives brand encompassing this podcast and my crafty blog because that’s all this older woman can handle! LOL 😀

That said, I run into creator’s or writer blocks even though I write down ideas. Sometimes, it’s matter of what I feel like sharing. There have been times when nothing comes to my mind. And in the past, I have gone weeks without writing a thing because I just couldn’t get the ideas to come easily.

If this has happened to you, don’t feel bad and don’t worry. There’s a solution and I’ll list some things I do to get the creative juices flowing again and later in this post, I’ll also list 60 possible blog topics if you need some inspiration!

Why does the creativity come and go?

I don’t really have an answer to this, but I know that it does come and go. Possibly because as a creative person, we feel a pressure to always look at things differently and bring about new and provoking content for others to think or ponder about. And, when that gift eludes us, it can make us feel that we’ve lost our creative edge. Well, nothing could be further from the truth.

Don’t Stress if the Ideas aren’t Coming

Here’s some things I do to get going when I’m in a creative rut:

1. Take a sufficient break. I get away from the computer and spend some quality time just being quiet. I like using that time to pray and read my bible. It’s amazing the ideas God gives me when I’m quiet!
2. Use Pinterest. This is a great tool to get inspired on. I create new boards and go through my feed saving pins for topic ideas.
3. Look through photos. Pictures are a great visual to spawn creative ideas. I look at food photography and a recipe might come to me or I’m looking at crafting pictures and that will give me suggestions for upcoming posts.
4. Magazines (online/offline): Since I’m visual, I like looking through catalogs and magazines for inspiration.
5. Go outside. Walking in the mornings is my exercise routine and my God time. I feel refreshed and ready to work afterwards. Sometimes just a change in scenery is all you need to spark creativity.
6. Cook/bake: I like to cook so even just making an easy dish like a grilled cheese panini can relax my mind.
7. Power nap. If you’re working really hard, you body might need rest. You’d be surprised how a 30-minute nap will rejuvenate you.

And one more recommended tip I just thought of is keeping a tablet and pen nearby, because ideas can come and go in an instant especially when you’re my age LOL! So, I try to write them down as soon as I can. Even if I go in a different direction than my initial thought, I still can use the original idea in some other way and it may spark other ideas.

I believe the important thing to remember is all us creatives go through a rut here and there, it’s not unusual and it doesn’t mean you’re failing. Your blog is very much like any relationship, it takes work, but it’s so rewarding in the end!
