Simple Things You Can Do To Get Inspired


 We all feel uninspired at times. The good news is that it’s a natural part of the creative process and something everyone struggles with. It’s totally normal! The next time you’re stuck in a creative dead zone, read this list of things you can do to get inspired.

Simple Things to Get You Inspired.

1. Change Your Environment

Get out of the house and go somewhere new. A new environment can spark inspiration by giving you a new way of looking at things.

2. Learn Something New

Get outside the boundaries of your own knowledge to learn something new. Learn ten words in a foreign language, research the music of 17th century Europe or pick up a star chart and learn about our universe.

3. Create a Vision Board

Think about what you want for your life and start envisioning it. Collect pictures and words that depict this life and bring them together on a vision board.


4. Get Back to Nature

Take some time out in nature and appreciate its amazing beauty. Go for a hike through the bush, climb a mountain or simply have a picnic by the pond in your local park.

5. Visit Your Local Bookstore

Bookstores are full of creative inspiration. Spend some time browsing the shelves and get inspired by the beautiful images and interesting ideas.


6. Try a New Creative Art Form

Push yourself outside the bounds of your creative specialty and try something new. If you’re a writer, try painting. If you’re a musician, write a poem.


7. Keep a Notebook to Jot Down Ideas

Keep a notebook with you to jot down ideas whenever they strike. These ideas might not seem groundbreaking at the time but they might serve as inspiration at a later date.


8. Learn About the History of Your Craft

Learn about how your creative craft originated, who the pioneers and greats were and how it has progressed over time. In every craft’s history, there is much inspiration to be found.

10. Listen to a New Type of Music

Seek out music that is different from what you usually listen to and try it out. What about jazz, classical, or rap?
