When are we truly inspired? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inspiration can be a tricky thing. It can feel like decades before it hits or it can come overwhelming in an easy graceful way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why do some people have endless access to great ideas, inspiration, and willingness to make it happen? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While some people try everyday to force inspiration, creativity, and the well seems dry? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not sure of your situation, but I do feel that it can strike at any moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The key or the secret to this is to be ready. Prepared almost. Luck favors the prepared right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do we prepare for inspiration to strike? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I think it comes down to discipline. Immersing yourself in situations and moments that will help you with this discipline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are my top 3 ways to be inspired when I feel the well is dry. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Get outside. Dante Alighieri said \u201cNature is the art of God\u201d. Sometimes when I\u2019m behind my computer instead of painting or being outside I can get stuck. It feels like the world is ever ending with new ideas, mind blowing creativity, and I just feel alone\u2026 stuck. However, when I take a moment to get outside and look around. Notice the trees and all of God\u2019s beauty it takes me back to the most purest form of the ultimate artist which is God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Fill your mind with other inspirational people! Whether it\u2019s your favorite mentor, artist, home designer, magazine, etc. FILL your mind with positivity and color! Pixie and I often go to Barnes and Nobles to RECHARGE! This is a technique I\u2019ve used for years! We have a Barnes and Nobles about 45 minutes from us. We take an afternoon and make the trek! LOL! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once we are there we both know the routine. Her grabbing all of the newest Harry Potter books, fiction, journals, etc. while I grab all the art magazines, craft magazines, home decor, and business mags! We grab coffee and meet in the kids area for a 2 hour reading session! I squeeze my butt into the kids adirondack chair next to hers and in silence we both go through our stack of books and magazines as if on a mission to refuel! <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a fun ritual that NEVER disappoints on the inspiration meter! And I hope that one day she will do the same with me and her kids growing up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Post below what technique you use to \u201cre-inspire\u201d yourself! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Extremely Grateful,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heidi\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When are we truly inspired?
