Graduated from Central Saint Martins with a BA in Graphic DesignWhen I attended the workshop ['Staying Motivated' workshop at Creative Careers], I was definitely in stage 5 of the Transition Curve. Since then, I am coming out of it definitely into something very much like stage 6.
I think that I moved on through a natural progression. I tried a lot of things to force myself out of the cycle, but in the end it couldn't really be forced, I had to wait for it to pass, and do small things to help myself in the mean time. One of the most important things knowing it’s going to pass, and it isn’t permanent. This cycle is familiar to me and although I think it is part of a natural creative process, it is also linked to a cycle of depression for me.
The Transition Curve theory was useful to me and I could identify with it for sure.
