sometimes it seems like everything is not Okay and we get Brain Blocks and cant figure out what’s the right thing to do ..

or we feel useless and hopeless …

lose our patience and concentration ..

sometimes we lose our self-esteem  …

many many times i really feel that i wont be able to create new toons or think of any further ideas  to make studying Pharmacology easier ..  🙁

The best and most effective solution for me to get some inspiration and overcome the Brain blocks has always been swimming .

i feel like i am flying on and in the water … and when i go deep down into it all the noise stops even the ones in my head

i only hear the sound of waves created by my moves while swimming and the bubbles sound .

everything under water is coloured blue even my own self … which is a very enjoyable scene to me  :happy:   .

We can’t establish a swimming pool on phartoonz but there is something else that helps too ,

in the coming lines , . .

i collected Quotations from different cultures all over the world to uplift us , provide inspiration to us & widen up Our Heads so we get over these Brain Blocks , refresh our minds and Help ideas to flow again ..
