Inspiration is only limited by our imaginations. We need to feed our bodies and souls so that imagination can thrive. Without inspiration I lack creativity and without creativity I feel life just isn't the same. Creation in some form or another brews in all of us. We need it like oxygen; fuel for our fire. Sometimes we loose inspiration, this is where I tell you how to find it and why you should.
finding inspiration
from piccsy
Brainstorming is one of my favorite things to do - there are no bad ideas during a brainstorming session, isn't that great?!! You can be as out of the box impossible as you want to be, then later focus and see if these ideas are possible somehow. What if you hired help for something that is our of your skill set? Would it be worth it? Are there things you can learn to make your terrific ideas a possibility? Uou can do it!

"Creativity takes courage."
it really does
Henry didn't mean to copy. This is different than being inspired.
Please be original. Believe in yourself.
When you do it is truly awesome. I promise.
from Departika
Taking regular breaks from work is key for your mind to quiet and allow for inspiration.
I get tricked into thinking that the more time I have to myself the more I will get done. This is not always true. I have found (mostly by accident) that life experience keeps me inspired. Saying no to going out with friends and going places and hanging out with family only leads to isolation, which leads to depression, which makes for a very stifled imagination, it might as well be extinct if your life is cut off. I recently moved to a new area and I decided to just work and not spend time investing in new friendships, I could get more work done right? Nope, iIbecame deeply depressed. Sad about life, the world, people. Completely negative. How in the world could I possibly work? How could I be creative, imaginative, or inspired in this frame of mind? I couldn't get anything done, dragging my feet, and all I wanted to do was sleep (and this is not so possible with 3 children)! So I got out and joined a few groups/clubs and within hours I was my happy, energetic self, full of love and imagination. balance your days with work and play. This will keep you motivated and inspired.

Staying connected to shops and blogs and networking at craft shows, and conferences will also be a huge inspiration to you and your business. Having support by your closest family members is also necessary to stay motivated. Just that they believe in you is all that is needed, anything above that is frosting on your cupcake :)

I'm amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's
ReplyDeleteboth equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you,
you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something
that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about.
I am very happy I found this during my hunt for something
concerning this.

Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the internet the
ReplyDeleteeasiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that
they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail
upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take
a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
