How do you get inspired?

Posted on 26 August 2022

There are so many ways!

Inspiration is all around you.

Derived from the Latin word “inspirare,” meaning to “breathe into,” inspiration is the feeling of being mentally stimulated to manifest what we want to create. It is up to us to choose whether or not to follow our own path in life. When our life is left up to others to control it for us, we are giving up our agency to do as we please. This is the first step. Often we choose not to do something because of the fear of what other people may say or do, and so instead we don't do anything at all. We are all meant to evolve and change in this world, and now more than ever, we need to be around people that light us up, not put us down or put us out. Keeping good company is numero uno. Get out into nature. I don't know anyone that can't appreciate a sunrise or sunset on a beautiful landscape, nor anyone who cannot appreciate flowers, huge trees, or water flowing. Sometimes just sitting in the grass looking up at the clouds can spark an idea in us. Take a walk on the wild side of life out of your head and concrete box that you are allowing to consume you and your time. Listen to some music, or sing in the shower yourself. You may find that by doing something ordinary or possibly out of your ordinary might give you just what you need to get inspired.

Need help finding inspiration?

Here are just a few ideas to help you find some much needed inspiration in this insane world: Go for a walk. Light a candle. Start a routine. Change your scenery. Book an impromptu friend date. Ask someone for their opinion. Listen or watch something motivational. Read something, anything. Get moving. Cook something. Learn to say no. Write a list. Throw yourself into it. Put on a killer outfit. Organize your space. And the ideas are a plenty. If you need help getting out of your head to find the inspiration, consider booking a session with me. I also have packages available for those who are ready to invest in themselves to change their lives for the better.

Get inspired with me in Italy!

Italy is full of inspiration and I am inviting seven people to join me on a Transformative Experience for your mind, body, and soul. And, due to an overwhelming response of people who could not make the first session November 1st-3rd, I have opened up two more times for you to join me on the other side. I will also be hosting a group of people on November 29th, 30th, and December 1st- think, right after Thanksgiving and before the holiday craze, take a moment to sit and settle with what is. I can help you relax and unwind as well and give you tools to head into the end of the year with a healthier mindset and focus. No need to wait until the new year! However, if you have ever thought of celebrating the new year in Italy, I would encourage you to come for New Year's Eve, and stay for the next Transformative Experience on January 3rd, 4th, and 5th to get your year started off right. Message me for details, or simply reply to this email. Secure your spot for a trip of a lifetime that will last years to come!

The Substitute

Did someone say, get a breath of fresh air? Even if you can't get out of your bubble for a walk, you can sit still and breathe regardless of where you are. This simple act can also change your perspective and give you a nudge in the right direction. A tool that helps encourage this behavior is The Substitute. A psychological/physiological tool to use instead of smoking or eating that relieves stress and anxiety. No tobacco. No toxins. Simply air. Just breathe.
