As a hard-working individual, it's easy to let the stresses and deadlines of daily life squash your creative genius. Lucky for you, the "Big Magic" isn't so far away.
The following tips are “quick-fixes” to create a surge of new inspiration when you’re feeling low on fresh ideas. This can be great for the busy entrepreneur, the driven business woman or even the passionate side-hobbiest.
1. Break Routine.
As humans, we love to get into habits. Unfortunately this is a great way to get bored and passive in a hurry. Shake things up by switching up your daily routine. Chances are you'll step into your right brain.
2. Meet new people.
Meeing new people is a good way to find new inspiration. Every persons has an interesting story to share in their lives.
3. Rest.
Your creativity cannot operate in a pressed, confined condition. It needs space and time to unravel. Rest is the best way to open this space. Go for a walk or lay around the pool. It may seem counter-intuitive but trust that it isn't.
4. Explore.
It's no secret that exploring new places is a great way to get the juices flowing. Contrary to popular belief, this doesn't mean you have to book a flight to explore. Check out new shops in your neighborhood or simply take a different route to work.
5. Google.
Curiosity is the beginning of creativity. Google the beginning of any word and you're sure to be amazed with the automatic suggestions that pop up. Allow yourself this rabbit hole to engage your interests.
6. Journal.
Journaling not only increases creativity, but it's a great way to release the anxieties and stressors keeping you from your inspiration. Grab a pen and paper and let flow what may. At the least you'll walk away refreshed and reconnected.
