How I Get Inspired? 5 Things I do to feel inspired

We all have those days when you feel like you have no ideas for anything and you just feel stuck creatively. When I have those days, I really just take a step back and think about what I need to do. Sometimes that means starting over from scratch. That also means finding inspiration through people you watch or just simply writing anything that comes to mind. Here are some things I do to feel inspired.

1.) Watching Inspiring Videos

One of the first things you should do to feel inspired can be watching inspiring videos whether that be TedTalks, Inspiring Vlogs, or someone you inspire to be like. When I do this I always find new ideas and have the motivation to be productive.

Check out some of my favorite inspiration videos below!

2.) Journal + Brain Dump

When you just grab a piece of paper and a pencil anything can happen! I mean sometimes you just have to vent and let it out. When I do this I feel so much better and sometimes I get some amazing ideas for videos. Just put on some music and write anything that comes to mind. You will be heavily surprised! (plus it is therapeutic).

3.) Read some positive quotes

I know it sounds silly and maybe it might not work all the time but it helps. So, just go on Pinterest and make a board of all the quotes you find inspiring. Here are some positive quotes I love below for some inspo!

4.) Read a book

I love reading sometimes… Anyways, reading is pretty fun and can give you some ideas. Sometimes a word or a sentence can spark something in you. Reading also gives you a chance to get off your phone which we all need sometimes. Now, I'm not saying you need to read every day (i don’t) but reading something can inspire you in many ways. I'm currently reading The Outsiders By: S.E. Hinton

5.) Listen to music

Music is one of the best ways to feel inspired. I mean when you feel sad, mad, happy, etc. you listen to music that matches that emotion, Right? So that means that if you find the right song you can get inspired. So put on some music and dance it out. Maybe you’ll find an idea for whatever you are working on. Check out some songs I listen to feel inspired!

Hopefully, you found something you can do to help you feel inspired. Now, remember these are just some things I do. Everyone is different so what might work for me, might not work for you. No matter what thing(s) you do, just start! I find that when I start, even if it’s just watching an inspiring video I feel more creative and start to get some ideas. Just starting just means that you have the drive to go for it! Remember, that sometimes if you feel stuck you might be burned out and need a well-deserved break. So watch some movies, drive around, or sleep ( i love sleeping so much). Anyways, I hope you find some inspiration. See you next week :))
