My life has become much busier and increasingly stressful as of approximately two months ago. In this time I've been sapped of almost all desire to create. Coincidence? Probably not. While stressed, one cannot escape certain more basic mental processes, such as a feeling of fight or flight activation. This is not a creative mind-state, where one can be relaxed and connect disparate ideas into a cohesive whole. When stressed one is fragmented, dissociated from oneself, going through the motions. One is not really even there mentally for the majority of daily tasks, let alone able to go deep into the unconscious and come back with riches.
Stress increases the signal to noise ratio in the mind.
