Getting Inspired...

Remember that whole, We only have this one life bit? Well, it's time to put it all into action. How? Start with inspiration!

1. Create an Inspiration Room.

Recently I transformed my office into an inspiration room. I will have to upload pictures soon. Since I am a crafter and performance artist I organized all my crafts, 20-30 hula hoops all stacked nicely. Costumes organized and tucked away. A space for yoga and flow. I also created a nice little corner with pillows and blankets for writing and reading. There are no distractions such as a Computer! I feel like I can live in this room. It has all my favorite things in a well organized space. It's quiet, it's away from everyone and everything. So get organized, and create your own inspiration room. If you don't have space to dedicate an entire room to, then create a space, even in a corner of a room that is all yours. Have a space that it unique to you and has all your favorite things that inspire you, even if they are just pictures.

2. Quotes.

Ok, so I am a quote whore. I must admit it. Quotes are huge and profound! You can really gain perspective. Start a quote book or purchase one. I have started my own quote book. Everyday read a new quote. Leave quotes around your home for you or someone to randomly find.

3. People Watch.

People watching is probably one of my favorite things to do. Did you know you can become inspired from people watching? From plays to sporting events, to sitting on a bench and observing people passing you by. We learn from each other. You never know what you might see that will inspire you. Maybe an intense basketball game will inspire you to join a team. Maybe a play will inspire you to join a group. Maybe someones outfit will inspire you to sew. Get off your ass and out into the world!!

4. Hobbies

Get a hobby. Start with something simple, walking, riding a bike, learning a craft, or playing sports. Get involved in something. I tend to have lots of hobbies because I get bored easily. You can pretty much google "How to learn" anything from soap making to beat boxing. Learn something new and you will become inspired to learn more.

5. Step Out of Your Shell.

Go do something you have never done, and do it alone. Look at your community calender, there are so many cheap and free things to do. Go to trivia night, game night at a coffee/tea shop, volunteer at a shelter. Do something you wouldn't normally do. You never know who will meet or what will happen. Great things happen from stepping out of your comfort zone.

These are just a few tips on getting you started. Get inspired and live your life!

I leave you with my quote of the day:

"There are no failures - just experiences and your reactions to them"
