Finding inspiration in everything
an invitation to todays inspiration session
This post is a companion to the Online inspiration session — Thursday, November 16 at 16hrs (Amsterdam timezone)
Yesterday I was looking out of my window and trying to come up with the words for my weekly blog. I have a list of ideas to write about, but I feel no inspiration to finish them. Autumn has arrived and even though the weather on the small island I am currently living is still pretty okay, I feel resistance to the change. I am often cold and have to get used to this new old house that feels cold inside. Outside the temperature is still better and the sun comes out often, but still, I don’t like to be cold and wear a lot of clothes…
Summer was amazing and it just feels like it lasted a couple of weeks instead of a couple of months. Lots has happened and a lot of things have shifted in me. Things that I want to bring into words, but even though I can feel the stories in me, words are not coming up.
This was yesterday… Today I woke up with a different feeling. A feeling of inspiration, a sparkle, new energy. It is like this for a while now. One day I feel drained, the next I feel burst of inspiration and energy. So as I always do I try to ride with the waves.
What helps is trying to find inspiration in everything. Step away from my computer to cook, look at the cats playing around or go out for a swim. Sometimes it helps, at other times it doesn’t and that is fine (I tell myself constantly).
With love, Irene
