I recently read an article on a self-help website. It was talking about the inspiration, which you have apparently lost. So maybe this will help you.
This is how to find your inspiration
Finding inspiration is not that hard, with the right mindset, when you can see things clearly. You’ll be able to separate and see par the crowding thoughts inside your head and find that golden idea. Here are the 8 ways to help you find your inspiration and make things a little easy for you.
1. Exercise your mind
Read, exercise your mind by seeing the words painting a picture to you. I would suggest you not to pick a fiction and read mostly the self-improvement book that will help you make a positive change in your life. However books the “Fountainhead” by Ayn Rand, is one of my favorite books that inspires me a lot.
Make it a practice, read essays or self-improved books before you start your day. As you progress with the reading, end your day with reading as well. Trust me you’ll be surprised to see the changes that you’ll see in yourself withing a month.
2. Spending time alone attracts inspiration
Well not literally but spending time away from any distraction is when we get the best ideas. Sit in your room or maybe on the roof, stare at the close sealing or never-ending blue sky and ask yourself “what’s next.” After that be an audience to the show your mind and unconscious self going to present. Allow your thoughts to run, make them do the magic, let your thought find you the inspiration.
At the start, your head will become more crowded, but soon you’ll have enough stats presented by your mind that will tell you what’s next.
3. Listen to music
Music is very powerful, it’s a way for an artist to express himself. Being able to see the story behind the lyric, is counted as a good inspiration. And it’s a common practice too, though people don’t usually look for inspiration while listing to the music.
Luckily, music left inspiration on our conscious too. No matter if we are trying to find inspiration while listing to music or not. It comes to us easily when we are grooving.
There is even research that tested a person for his intelligence after listing to Mozart and the results showed that his intelligence (creativity) went up by 10 points.
4. Start doing some exercise
Start with a morning walk or a jog, breath in the fresh air and see how your surrounding looks in the bright light of sunrise. This will not just give you some good lighting to take beautiful Instagram pictures. But exercising also helps to relieve stress and anxiety.
It helps your mind to clear up, you can see the inspiration coming your way easily when your body and mind are less stressed. The pumped feel of your body after exercising will be enough to put you in a grove to create your thing.
5. Set your goals and follow them
Set a goal if you haven’t already. Do all the things that you need to do to reach your goal. If you have to learn new skills, do it, learn them and then apply them to reach closer to your goal. If you are struggling to create your masterpiece, follow a pattern that will put your brain into practice and sooner or later the inspiration will strike you and you’ll have the masterpiece.
6. Socialize, listen to other peoples stores
You are not the only one having a hard life. There are many others like you, some of them have even gone through hard things that you can’t even imagine. This will make you feel how privileged and the fact they are standing right in front of you even after all the bad that they had been through, will certainly inspire you in your life.
7. Give back, help others
Last but the most simplest way to get inspired is by helping others. If you have found your inspiration, you certainly don’t want to lose it. Helping people with the money and the wisdom you have earned so far gives you the sense of happiness that inspires you to do more good not just for yourself but for others too.
