TOP 10 sources of inspiration and the main recipes for maintaining it

Good day, dear blog readers! To live happily and tasty — you need to be able to be inspired for this life, so that there is a desire to create, make changes in everyday affairs and take risks in order to learn and try something new. But daily stresses and difficulties are unsettling. Sometimes a day becomes so similar to another that it seems as if you are walking in a circle and have no way to correct something, if only because you are so used to dullness that there is no strength for action, and most importantly, ideas. But everything is fixable, so if you are wondering where to look for inspiration, then this article is for you.

Top 10 ways

1. You need to be able to notice the smallest details

Appreciate your every day and be able to get enough without requiring something large and significant in order to feel joy. And for this you need to “get out” of yourself and stop obsessing over your difficulties, failures and experiences. Look around, there are actually a lot of sources around you, thanks to which you can perk up and feel the desire to create. Try, just walking down the street, to consider people who come across on the way. Pay attention to fences, awnings, signs, shop windows and more. Even if you have been walking the same road for 10 years, I am more than sure that you are missing many details. If you look around carefully, you will find a lot of interesting things for yourself that will surprise you, and subsequently some ideas on how to transform your everyday life or working moments.

2. Sometimes the most brilliant thoughts come to us before going to bed.

And in general, it unexpectedly overshadows with the answer that I have been looking for for a long time in order to solve a difficult, impasse situation. Do you know why this happens? Because before going to sleep, you finally relax, exhale. Then the subconscious has the opportunity to reach out to consciousness. So, first of all, learn to pause and just be. Meditation can help with this, many of the exercises of which just teach contemplation and the ability to listen to yourself, your feelings and stop the flow of thoughts. You can read more about the practice in this article.

3. An interesting way is to cause a state of nostalgia

For example, going through your old photographs, notes and some elements of creativity, you remember the emotions that you felt at that moment. It is very inspiring and reminds us of some forgotten part of ourselves. Maybe you loved to write poems, but in the fast pace of life, when the need to provide for your family arose, did you completely abandon this business? It is very important to remember how you were before, what brought pleasure, from which the soul opened up so much that you already wanted to share your joy with the whole world.

4. Don’t pressure yourself

I want to relax and do nothing — fine, allow yourself to be lazy without feeling guilty about it. The state of joy cannot be forcibly evoked, it happens on its own, and definitely not in the place where tension and irritation accumulate. So don’t ask too much of yourself. And, besides, rest is necessary, it helps to restore resources in order to move on and discover sources of inspiration and happiness. This is much safer than when people force themselves to do something and eventually “fall out” into illness, since they cannot legally rest, and sick leave is still a weighty argument. So think about what you would like at the moment, what you love, but have not allowed yourself for a long time, and go ahead, go for it.

5.How to find yourself?

Before looking for inspiration, you must first ask yourself how to find yourself, how to accept yourself as you are, and then you will receive inner freedom. Thanks to which, you will no longer limit yourself in actions and desires, and sometimes even thoughts. Then the boundaries of your perception will expand, and you will be able to capture and create something completely creative and unusual. Take a step towards yourself, and the article “What restrictions affect a person’s inner freedom and how to find it?” will help you with this.

6.Reading

I have already written many times about the benefits of reading, as books not only develop us, but also inspire us. And after reading, many have a second wind and a great desire to live, living every minute of quality, because people begin to appreciate everything they have. Maybe you also have such a proven and favorite book? Or a movie or a poem? For those who want something new, I recommend the list of paintings that are presented in this article.

7. Visit museums, exhibitions and art galleries

There you can be inspired both for creativity and for business, because remember, insights visit us at the very moment when we are relaxed and having fun. You can change someone else’s idea a little and apply it in a completely different area. For example, to finally understand what kind of bedroom design you want to do by seeing the combinations of colors on the canvas of some artist.

8.Travel

I will not open America to you, telling you to go on a journey where you will get new impressions and emotions. But this is a really great recipe for those who are bored with everything and want something new, or when there is a stagnation in work and relationships. At least a weekend trip to nature or a neighboring city will diversify your leisure time and energize you. In addition, meeting new people, in the process of communication with whom it becomes possible to exchange experiences, find out how others live, and what their life history and philosophy is, is a great way to unwind and renew.

9. The ability to keep momentum is also important.

This means that it is necessary to start acting as soon as insight and desire come. If you put it off until later, on Monday, when there will be more free time or money, the energy will fade away and something wonderful will not happen. And write down all your ideas as soon as they come to your mind. To do this, you will have to get a few miniature notebooks so that they are always nearby if necessary.

10.Environment

We should not ignore or forget that our strength and success are also very dependent on the environment. People who support your ideas and believe that you will succeed will encourage you to take risks and try. But those who envy, devalue and do not know how to rejoice in the success of others will slow you down. Yes, and add restrictions and spoil the mood. So reconsider your social circle, maybe you should see some less often, and share your thoughts with some to get feedback and support?
