Creative inspiration, or lack there of, has everything to do with your attitude in the moment.
When you remain open minded and keep reaching toward what aligns with your inner guidance, you create space to be surprised and heart-inspired. Any nuance can be the spark that gets you into a playful state of mind. The more you play, the more you notice a playful thread in everything around you and find cool ways to connect the dots into something tangible.
If you are able to respect the fact you need a break, stop pushing and take in the sunlight for a while, there’s room for things to come together in their own time, for the right people and situations to weave into exactly what you need despite the way your minds wants to shape the presentation of it.
Expect things to crash and burn, they probably will – and in a spectacular fashion. When your attitude is clouded with judgments, fear or future thinking, you lose the power of the moment right before you that could spark something in your heart, clarify a desire or inspire you to finally let something go for good.
Notice, Adjust and Flow into Creative Inspiration in the Moment
It’s possible and very powerful to stay curious in all you do, even when you are rolling through a well-worn routine.
An attitude of curiosity and appreciation is like a laser beam of focus on the little things that often go unnoticed. When you stretch towards the light, you simply see more potential, more possibilities without trying. It becomes a natural part of who you are. This is what helps you become an active participant in the loop of creative inspiration, instead of searching for it externally.
True creative inspiration starts with the ability to stretch towards something that might not yet have form or clarity, but you are willing to keep stretching and expanding to see what’s next just because.
As you keep looking forward the sun gets brighter, more playful and the loop of creative possibilities gets bigger.
Facing forward doesn’t mean you will always get bathed in sunlight, but it keeps you focused and curious about what’s possible, where the spark of creativity can strike at any moment.
Be mindful that you always have a choice to change your flow. Just notice your state of feeling, decide you want something different and flow towards it, just like a flower stretching towards the sunlight.
