One of the greatest skills I think an artist can have and continue to develop is curiosity. Having a strong desire to know or learn something about life or about ourselves keeps the creative juices flowing. You need to expose yourself to various people and places so that ideation can take place. If you’re not able to physically take a trip or get into a new world experience, the internet can satisfy that as well. Force yourself out of your normal routine, and you’ll be amazed at what life can bring you just when you need it the most.
