Uninspired

Inspiration is the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative...

I’m not even going to lie, I’ve been uninspired lately. It seems like I haven’t posted in a while. Some may look at the last time I posted something and say “A while? It’s been more than a while.” I would then be obliged to agree because it’s true! Lol. It’s been a looong time since I wrote something on my blog.

When trying to produce some form of art regardless if it's drawing, writing, composing music, or just doing something creative, inspiration is required. At least for me it is. There are times when the desire is there but the motivation isn't. It's like having an idea that I want to develop and share but that special "thing" that makes me pick up the tool and put everything into visual perspective is absent.

Then there are those times when there is that good feeling that comes over me and I can't wait to start working on that project. Like...I have to hurry up and act on this inspiration before it disappears, only to leave me with a tool in my hand and no motivation to continue.

I know you know what I’m talking about. I had to remind myself that I’m not the only one that goes through these spurts of noncreative moments, Especially, when I try to obtain it but only to fail.

So the question is how does one still move when they are not inspired to create??

I can’t answer for everyone but I know for me there has to be a desire, an idea, or even a vision. Then there is that little nudge or for some people, a big push to put action behind the pedal to the metal. And who knows? Purpose could be staring you right in the face.

What keeps me going is the desire to create and share. What drives me is never having to wonder about the what “could‘ve been” and the wanting to tap into the unlimited possibilities of opportunities that’s out there.

I know that things in our life can drain the creativity out of us and that by the end of the day, we are tired. But I hope that you don’t ever stop. That you find what ever it is that inspires you to follow your dream.

If you have to walk around with your journal, listen to your favorite songs, create that vision board or watch that cooking or HGTV channel to be inspired, do it! If you have to look at your circumstances to get some inspiration to help get you out of it, then do it.

Sometimes, inspiration can start with being your own fan. Be inspired.
