Meditation, music and images can inspire you when you begin your vision board, but another thing that you may not have thought of is your surroundings. Creative surroundings can inspire your passions. Whether you are happiest in a neutral room with peaceful colors and décor or prefer bright, vibrant items surrounding you, you can find out what creative surrounding work best for inspiring you by doing a little experimenting. This is similar to trying different kinds of music to decide which relaxes you most.
The goal is to find out what works for you. Your inner desires and passions are often buried underneath day-to-day stress and until you find an outlet they will remain hidden from you. Explore all the options to find the best place, best mood, best music and best surroundings to indulge your creativity and make a great vision board
I’m along the same vein as Lou. I recently organized my office so it was beautiful and aesthetic as well as functional. I find that when I come in, if it’s disorganized, seems to suck all my brain cells out and can’t even think about what to do next much less be creative! And music is a whole other level of inspiration. Right now I have my Pandora Radio going and my ‘station’ of choice right now is of the Black Horse & The Cherry Tree variety ~ low throaty female vocalists making it happen!
What inspires me are people with a lot of heart who are not afraid to show it – people like you Marita. You are warm, loving, generous and artistic. You just love to share and you bring out the light in everyone. Keep up the good work. The Universe is sure to reward you.
This website is truly inspiring!
remember the 9 environments? if you sort out your clutter you make room for new things to come into your life. Try it and watch what happens.
Ah, maybe that is my problem. My environment and work area is a bit on the cluttered side. Distracting instead of letting me slide into a creative framework.
In general, I use music to help set a creative mood. The style depends on the type of creativity. It varies form early Pink Floyd to Baroque to Philip Glass. I also like a dark room with task lighting, sort of an island of light.
