When inspiration strikes what do you do? Do you get right to it? Do you takes notes? Or do you set it aside thinking you’ll get to it…someday. Or maybe you think, “not me, I can’t do that.” Or maybe you get stuck, inspiration evading you at every turn. Mmmm I hear you since depending on the time of day I can waver between all of it.
Today’s gratitude prompt is inspiration at Positively Presents 2019 30 day gratitude
3 Ways to Discover Inspiration
1) Set it aside. Yep, you heard me. Sometimes the best thing to do when you come up against a block is to STOP. Just put it aside. Forget it about it. Let go. How? Go have fun. Take a walk. Change up your routine. And before you know it, right in the middle of your morning shower, soap in your eyes, lightening will strike.
2) Collaborate. I work best when I can bounce ideas off someone else. Sometimes sharing ideas and brainstorming with others can get your creative super powers flowing. Try it with someone you know but I challenge you to seek out someone different, who may have a new perspective that may just inspire you in a whole new light.
3) Timed Brain Dump. Yep, you heard me. Grab a piece of paper, a pen of any color. I prefer purple. Set your timer on your smart phone for ten minutes. No smart phone? Your clock will work just as well. And start writing. DO NOT censor yourself. Just write. You will be amazed at what may land on that piece of paper.
Pay Attention
Inspiration comes in lightening bolt strikes or it trickles in as your ready. Sometimes we want to have it NOW…right now. But life ebbs and flows. Trust that the universe has your back. And just when you need inspiration will find you no meter where you’re at. Life is kinda funny that way.
Sending you love and happiness. ❤️
