We all need inspiration for happiness, good health, and to enjoy life. To live life without being inspired is just not as fun. Inspiration is like a waterfall. It is always flowing beautifully into the river of life below, waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.
Here's ten ideas to get inspired or remain inspired for the rest of the year, if this is something that you want more of in your life.
1) Take time for your inspiration
It is important in our busy schedules to make time for inspiration. Block out an hour or two half hours and turn off the cell phone. Manage your inspiration time as well as you manage the rest of your day. You deserve it.
2) Love
Love can be experienced in so many ways to receive as well as give inspiration. Use love with the ideas that follow, and possibly as an ongoing reminder of the joy it can bring and is bringing every day.
3) Music
Not just any music. Music that is inspiring. Music that you love. Your favorites. Google it if you want more ideas. Some classical music can be very inspiring. Pachebel Canon in D Major, Elgar Nimrod from "Enigma Variations", Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and many others. Using headphones could be another idea, while sitting, focusing on just the music, and letting go of all other thoughts.
