Everyone wants to possess the spark of inspiration. The problem is finding it. Like many traits, you find it when you aren't actually looking for it. You could be doing something as mundane as the laundry or driving to work when it hits. Living in that "aha" moment is worth the wait. What if you could recognize situations that bring on the spark?
Ignite your inspiration by knowing where to find it.
Find Daily Inspiration in 15 Easy Ways
1. Music. Music is one element that can conjure up an old but pleasant memory from a happier time. Listen to some old favorites and reminisce or try new artists and see if you like their sound. Sing along if you know the words. If not, hum loudly until you feel it in your soul.
2. Animals. Pets, if you have them, are an amazing source of inspiration. They do ridiculously funny things, they love you without judgment and they have 100% faith in you. If you don't have pets, watch a squirrel in the park or the ducks on the pond. Animals have a lot to teach us.
3. Nature. Trees, clouds, grass and weather are all a necessary part of our ecosystem. Take a moment to experience them and discover just how they work together to enhance your life.
4. Children. They are us 20 or more years ago. Watching a child, yours or a relative, inspires you to remember what it was like to live they do. Bask in their innocence and life without an agenda.
5. Read a favorite book. Books are like old friends. Reread a favorite and get reacquainted. Some books offer new insights.
6. Religious text and phrases. Religion has much to teach us. Keeping meaningful quotes in your mind can be very inspiring.
7. Meditation. Quiet moments without conscious thought are perhaps the most significant way to find inspiration. Millions of people around the world use meditation as a means to resolve issues and find a new perspective.
8. Art. Experience your favorite type of artwork in a museum or gallery.
9. Textures. Textures in walls, carpets, animals, and clothing bring sensation and other feelings to our minds. Use it for inspiration and positive energy.
10. People watching. Everyone has a capacity for amazing things if they embrace it. Show kindness to others in hopes that they will pass it on.
11. Find gratitude in your life. List what you are grateful for. Tell others that you appreciate them in your life.
12. Dance. Dancing frees our hearts and our minds. Music or no music, a good happy dance in the middle of the day will put a smile on your face and inspiration in your heart.
13. Friends. Friends are a source of inspiration because they let us into their hearts. We become close to people and are allowed the pleasure of sharing their hopes, fears, joys and challenges.
14. Quotes. Find appropriate quotes that will inspire you to press on in your daily life and have hope.
15. Hobbies. They add passion and meaning to your life. There is more than work that makes you feel worthwhile.
Look around and see inspiration in places that seemed unlikely. When you find it, share it with others so that they can be inspired as well.
