When we are in
the presence of what inspires us, we hear our inner guidance more clearly. We all know inspiration when we feel it. It
is a force that enlivens us and activates us to do something — we might
dance, sing, paint the house, or envision a new career. We might call an old
friend or plan a trip abroad. Whatever the case, doing what we do from a
place of inspiration makes all things seem possible. Inspiration sometimes
comes out of nowhere, landing unexpectedly in the midst of your life and
lifting you out of your habitual mind and into a higher level of seeing.
However, we can be more intentional with our relationship with inspiration
than just waiting for it to come to us. There are many ways to cultivate its
presence, from journaling to scrapbooking to visiting with a particularly
interesting friend. Finding what inspires you and consciously cultivating it
will give you access to new ways of thinking and energy you didn’t know you
had. Some people find that frequent trips into
nature inspire them. Others have a box full of objects — a seashell, an old
photograph, or even a collection of rocks — that does the trick. There are as
many ways to find inspiration as there are people looking for it. If you
already know what inspires you, find a way to incorporate it into your life
on a regular basis. If you aren’t sure what inspires you or if it has
changed, take some time to think about it. When was the last time you felt
the spark of your imagination? When was the last time you acted on an impulse
that felt totally right? When we are in the presence of what inspires us, we
hear our inner guidance more clearly and we have the energy to follow its
cues. If it has been a while since you have been
touched by inspiration, you may feel listless and dissatisfied. Know that you
can turn things around by remembering what lights you up and bringing that
into your life. |
