When I think about doing it, or when I feel myself needing to get my thoughts in order, I love to write in my journal. I usually go through phases where I will depend on writing almost everyday, and then go months, if not years, without writing again. Recently, I have not been writing that often in my journal, so I thought that a good way to intentionally seek some inspiration would be to write a little bit. When I put my thoughts down on paper, I feel like I have a better grasp on my emotions and am better able to tackle any issues or anxieties that I am experiencing. After I finished writing tonight, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders and some clarity for my current situation. I feel like this relates to inspiration because after getting some of the busy thoughts in my mind out of the way, I was able to make room for calm and random thoughts to enter my mind without being distracted with what had previously occupied my mind. Sometimes, when I feel overwhelmed or distracted with certain feelings, I can let them consume my mind, but all it takes is a simple written analysis and I am better suited to listen to myself, work through new, subtle ideas and be creative.
