I love to be inspired by things around me – From the view on my walk home to the art in an exhibit I visit to the book that I’m reading before bed. Letting the people & things around you spark your creativity can be a great habbit to learn!

wow, Emily, this is such a great article!!!! I’ve definitely thought about these things and tried to execute them, but a fresh reminder like this is always deeply appreciated! Reminds me of something I read and wrote about a while ago – Michelangelo thought he was useless after his work had taken him to long, but we all know that was not true. It’s good to remember if even he felt that way, it’s ok for us to feel that way as well, but just keep going.
Anyway, thank you so much!!! I could really relate to this article.

I love EVERYTHING about this article! Even tho I consider myself as someone who is well tapped into her creative side (quite possibly insanely so, at times- just ask my hubs) I find myself listening to the sheep. Thank you for such a GREAT article and giving me a new mantra to have swirl around this chaotic mind of mine…. and for sharing YOUR talent with us! (girl, you gots a way with words!!) 😉

this is absolutely fantastic! i had been an “idea” person for so long but was always much to insecure to think any of them were good (or i would find someone else had the same idea and made it happen!). then i found myself in a place of needing to make an idea work and didn’t worry about it being accepted or not. i just knew it was more important to try, so i forged ahead; that idea is now my work and keeps me busy. now that’s my biggest advice to people “just trrrry it”, you never know! wonderful advice and article!

Hi Emily, Great article!! I agree with every point you made ( although it took me a while to learn them…still learning the ‘me time’ point ! )

The Game of Thrones quote really does help put things into the right perspective, another one i like to think of is ‘ You can do anything but not everything’ on days when i feel like I haven’t achieved everything i wanted to…Mostly due to the fact i tried to do everything all at once!

I think sometimes when you have so many wonderful ideas and paths to take, you end up not knowing which to follow first. The ‘Me time’ really helps to sort through the thoughts and follow the ones that really resonate with you and lead to where you want to go. 🙂

LOVE this. Well said and couldn’t agree more. I used to commute some days two hours to school and alone in my car is when I was able to formulate ideas in my mind. People never understood how I could handle the drive, but I really learned to enjoy the ALONE time and what it did for me.

I need to save this article for days when I’m feeling burned out and uninspired. For me, journeying outside of my comfort zone is often when I learn the most!

Great reminders for stepping outside of your comfort zone, looking inward, and getting the most from life!
