7 Ways to Stay Inspired
Inspiration breeds life.
Various forms of greatness came from a mere spark of inspiration — the Mona Lisa, Claire de Lune, Lady Lazarus, the Statue of David, the list goes on.
So often, though, we hit a wall where any and all inspiration seems to stray absent; soon follows motivation and passion. Though I’ve come to understand that inspiration is sparked by a simple act of engagement regardless of the presence of inspiration, there is still hope when lack of motivation to do anything also presents itself.
Staying Inspired
Shake things up
In the midst of day to day existence, it’s easy to become caught up in a habitual routine. Changing even the slightest aspect to this routine may open countless doors you never knew existed.
Broaden your horizon
Open yourself up to trying new things — from food to a spontaneous trip to a new environment.
Wake up
Slipping into rumination is the enemy of all inspiration, don’t become so caught up in the chatter, it’s a trap. Stimulate your awareness by focusing your attention outward to the physical world full of things to be inspired by.
