Staying Inspired Today and Always

Every creator comes to a point at which creating doesn’t seem to come so easily all of a sudden. This can look like writer’s block, loss of ideas for a new campaign or photoshoot, or the scary feeling that you’re running out of content, just to name a few examples. Do not let yourself fall into thinking that you’re out of ideas. Sit yourself down and ask yourself how you can stay inspired today and always?

Remember why you started. What were your goals then? Who were you trying to reach? Have you achieved these goals? If not, get to work! There is more that you can be doing. Have your goals shifted? Change can be good too. Reminding yourself of why you began your creative journey can launch you into a world of inspiration. It will remind you of all the reasons you’ve worked so hard to get where you are now, and why you have got to keep going!

Never stop learning and relearning. There is an endless amount of information out there in the world. Really, this is an endless amount of material for you to be inspired by. Your job as a student is never complete. You can learn something everyday and you truly don’t know where this knowledge can take you.

Read a book! It can bring you some insight that you have never had before. This new insight can bring you fresh ideas. Have good discussions with your friends, and maybe even try to have discussions with people you don’t know so well to find new perspectives. There is always something going on in the world to be discussed. See what other people’s thoughts on it may be. This can only expand your horizon.

Make your space your happy place. This is as simple as it sounds. If you don’t feel productive in your workspace, make some changes. For you this could mean cleaning off your desk or remodeling your office – whatever it may be, do it.
