The importance of finding inspiration in everyday life and nurturing it

“Life is a beautiful journey. You cannot cling to the experiences that hold you back; you must make your way to achieving what matters to you. Think of inspirations as puzzle pieces that fit together to form a more vibrant picture of life.”

Inspiration: The very own process of finding new ideas. In Latin, it is inspirate (“to breathe or blow into”), meaning that inspiration is not something you can control or contain, like wind or air. It is free!

But how does one keep the search going for inspiration and be free? Where is inspiration to be found? In the garden or on your last trip with friends? Often lost, inspiration is hard to find. But why chase when you can attract?

Some say inspiration is a trilogy of Motivation, Creativity and Passion. To find it, you need to approach it methodically. However, inspiration also plunges when you let go of a certain emotion you have held onto for so long.

Suppose you ask what inspiration feels like and what it means to be nurtured in it; well, a free mind after a soulful Sunday afternoon, a morning walk in the woody trails in the outskirts, dancing to my favorite song to break free from my dilapidated mind or preparing my favorite meal. Inspiration is a zone where we womb to.

I know when life seems a little grey, and I am drained, churning the everyday wheels, I know inspiration is out of me.

For energizing, I turn to the sources listed below.

So, the next time you’re feeling down, take a few minutes to assess your relationship with these sources of inspiration.

Teach what you know: share your expertise to learn and deepen your understanding of the subject, illuminating new paths for you and many others. Learn what you want to know: Dive into topics that fascinate you, whether astronomy, cooking, or pottery. Take workshops or classes to learn and rejuvenate. This process can spark creativity and inspire fresh ideas by helping you see the world differently.

Spend time in nature and move your body: Stretch your creative potential. Sometimes, like our body, the mind needs stretching, too. Nature has been a timeless source of inspiration for so many ages. Combining time in nature with physical activity or grounding can further enhance the aging spirit. Nature and movement are dynamic duos that unravel chaos and help one relax.

Laugh often and Let go: Embrace a life that reflects joy and freedom. Make time to go out and laugh with others—invite friends, attend shows/concerts, or enjoy a funny movie night. Don’t be afraid to be social when you let your guard down; it’s okay not to be alone always. Let go of things that hold you back, whether fear, doubt, or negativity. Pull out the confidence to be out there, speak up, and spark meaningful conversations.

Laughing often and letting go can help reduce stress, improve the body’s rhythmic cycle and increase the inflow of creativity, happiness and clarity.

Reflect on your dreams: Dreams are a powerful source of inspiration. Set aside time to reflect on what you truly want to achieve. Visualize them. Break them into smaller, actionable steps and start working towards them. Dreams are like a compass that guides you toward exploring your untapped you.

Seek out new experiences: Awaken new senses and inspire creativity. Try new coffee shops and streets and travel to different places, concerts, or museums. Each new experience can stimulate your imagination, help you break out of your routine and see the world in a new light.

To sum up, life is a beautiful journey. You cannot cling to the experiences that hold you back; you must make your way to achieving what matters to you. Think of inspirations as puzzle pieces that fit together to form a more vibrant picture of life.

Don’t be afraid to go; you never know where you’ll find it.
