In trying to practice inspiration, I decided to make a concerted effort to make lists of my personal goals, future accomplishments, and basic daily tasks. I wanted to do this to try to become more personally organized on a day to day basis, which will help me in the long term with school, health and both my personal and social life. In doing this, I began to think of goals and things I wanted to which I might not have thought of before, on very specific and personal levels as well as more broad, general thoughts. Although this isn’t necessarily practicing inspiration directly, I found inspiration by thinking more deeply into myself and what I truly want or need. This weekend, specifically on Sunday, I was able to get more done within my day because I made more of an effort to be aware of what I thought needed to be done and what would be most productive and personally inspiring. This was just for the short term, but I have continued with doing it and I believe it will help me be more personally creative with my goals for the future.
Similarly, it is rare that I will try to forcefully make myself feel inspired. However, when I think of ways I might feel inspired, I might listen to music or watch music videos with something unique and special that might make me feel differently. If I can combine this with my new productivity from my weekly and daily organization I will be able to be more aware of those more spontaneous and natural inspirations.
