This week for inspiration I wanted to go for a drive and listen to music that I usually would not. The music I decided to choose was classical, because I enjoy listening to classical music while I am studying or doing other work, but I had never listened when nothing else was occupying my mind. Usually when I drive I listen to music I can sing to, so listening to music with no words was definitely a really difference experience. I feel like it really cleared my head and allowed me to focus on my surroundings. It also gave me a whole new perspective and appreciation for classical music. Usually I use it as a tool to tune things out, but this time I actually got to listen to it carefully and appreciate all the different instruments and melodies. Driving around Lewisburg with no destination gave me to opportunity to really take in all the sights as well as people. There are a lot of things that you might not even know are in the Lewisburg area. I found a cute food place in Milton that I now want to go try. Reflecting on my drive and decision to listen to classical music, I now realize that sometimes in order to get inspired you need to let yourself take a break from your regularly scheduled day. I felt inspired after this drive because I had a clear head and let myself take a break from life for a little while. Allowing myself to let my thoughts flow freely and let any stressful thoughts out really helped me. I think allowing myself to have some free time to relax and do things that calm me down is definitely a good tool for getting inspired.
