feeling blocked creatively

[touchyfiber]

lately for the past 6 or so months i havent had the motivation to want to film and upload videos. not sure why, my best guess is a lack of ideas for content. i wanted to do daily vlogs but sadly my life is so plain right now i just do same s**t different day. who wants to watch a vlogger who does the same routine every day. any one else have these issues where u either lack motivation to film videos or cant think of content to film what was your solution tho this problem?

lol totally get you on that! That's why i decided not to Vlog. Have you thought about changing your content, it wouldn't hurt you know? Also..whenever i'm lacking that creativeness that i need..i usually watch some hillarious comedians that i love. That works everytime. Maybe it is something different for you?

Yes for sure.. I think all Youtubers feel that sometimes (and not just Youtubers but in many things in life)
I can be really tough to keep motivation up from time to time.. So I is about now you got to ask your self this question -Why did I start my Youtube channel? Hopefully you did it because you like doing it, so even if its views/subs are´nt going up and you dont have any ideas at the moment you will keep on going because you enjoy it
If you are totally stuck you can take a short break, go find new inspiration, and start recording again

I completely get where your coming from, I love creating videos, I love filming, not massive fan of the editing but know it has to be done. I love being able to be as creative as I want, create what I want and hope that it manages to put a smile on someones face. However, the block is real! I can't think of anything to do that hasn't been done before.

its not just the vlogging its everything no matter what content i try to create i feel lack of interest/motivation

Well, I suppose there are 3 options:

1) Take a break and do something completely different to try and recharge your batteries. Don't watch any Youtube videos at all, check social media or do any filming during the break. Really have a total break from it. Then try again in a few weeks. If you're still not feeling it in a few weeks, you should maybe consider option 3 below.
2) Try and work through it in order to stay active on your channel. You could even make it the topic of some of your videos ( creativity block and how to overcome it)
3) Quit.

Good luck.

The third option is no way near an option...at least not in the near future for my channel...lol

When I have a low creating content for my channel I usually take off a day of two watching a movie or doing something completely different as suggested in the first option.

Sometimes its just visiting communities around my channel niche like this forum, or on Reddit and before long I will see something that inspires me to research a topic and most often the research builds up to motivation again and a birth of a video.

Why not channel that into a new form of creativity? You're right, the world doesnt need more vloggers, if what they're providing isnt necessarily new or unique (and if YOU yourself arent even excited about it). There is, however, always room for innovation.
