To help you find the inspiration to re:open your heart to its hopes and dreams, we made a podcast episode about 5 ways to find inspiration in your daily life.
These are the highlights of what we discussed:
- By taking the time to stop and truly listen to the world around you, you may notice sounds, sights, and experiences that you take for granted every day. The sound of the traffic on your way to work, how the trees sway when it’s windy, the way the sun feels against your bare skin. These simple, mundane things take place without you even thinking about them. But if you take a moment to see how they affect you and how your life might be different if instead your commute was a breeze, trees stayed still, and it was constantly rainy, then you can find the beauty in these basic, everyday moments. You can find inspiration in them.
- Your belief system makes up a huge part of who you are. You’ve probably engaged in discussions or even debates about topics that you felt strongly about. You go about your everyday life while holding on to your morals and beliefs. These guide you in all of your actions and have shaped you into the person that you are today. You can take some time to reflect on why you believe what you do. Let this deeper understanding of yourself inspire you.
- You probably have a favorite movie, or favorite book, or favorite song. Maybe you have multiple favorites. There may have been a moment or even a few in your life that you felt like some form of art changed you. You might have gained a new perspective on some aspect of life. When you switch off the TV after watching a rousing movie, or close a book after reading the last line, or hear the last few notes of a beautiful melody, you can let the message inspire you.
- There are so many thoughts that go through your mind every day. Many relate to what you’re experiencing while some are probably completely random. Nevertheless, writing down what you’re thinking or feeling and why is one daily activity that can provide you with endless inspiration. It might be some recipes you want to try out, or a to-do list, or a detailed account of a memorable part of your day. Then, you can go back to those journal entries from ordinary days and be inspired by your past self.
- If you’re struggling to know where to start, you can easily reflect on some different prompts that will get inspiration flowing. Ask yourself simple questions, such as: What makes you happy? Angry? What was one of your hardest days like? One of your best days? What are you struggling to overcome? What do you wish you could change? What do you hope never changes? Look within yourself for deeper answers to these basic questions. Really think about them, and let the answers inspire you.
