It can be hard sometimes to find inspiration around you, especially when you’re just stuck in your old routines and need a change. There are many definitions of inspiration – that could include writing, general beauty, or just a change in your surroundings that makes you stop and think.
For example, sometimes sitting in a public space helps you run into interesting people that make you think about your life differently.
Seeing people and taking in what you see can sometimes trigger some intrigue in you. How do you gain inspiration in everyday life?
People-watch while out in public. As I said above, sometimes observing people can help you think introspectively about life and give you original ideas on how to change up your own life. I love seeing what books people are reading, it inspires me to read more. As well, I find it interesting to see what people are reading since people’s book choices can tell a lot about a person. Hearing people’s choice of music is also intriguing; from listening you’re getting a “glimpse” into their musical “life.” Any type of media outlet is interesting to observe these days – people try to block out others with these devices, yet they’re still inviting you in with their loud music or book cover.
Listen to music and just think. Sometimes music has a way of getting to your deepest emotions and makes opening up to new experiences easier. Perhaps lyric strikes a chord with you or a certain beat gives you confidence. Music works in mysterious ways, so listen to whatever makes you escape, helps you get to the heart of a matter, or basically just relaxes you. Inspiration may be just around the corner from that melody that awaiting you. Right now I am listening and enjoying Leela James, love her music & lyrics. Cheers!
