How to get Inspired!
Being a content creator, ideas must constantly be flowing out in order for me to create posts, pictures, and videos. However, even I need some boosts and things that will stimulate my right brain, so here are the things I do when I need a lil inspo in my life.
1. Go for a walk (anywhere!)
Plug in your earphones (or don’t :) ) and walk around the park, downtown or take a little time to go into museums! People watch and mindlessly watch around. Bring a little notebook and write down ideas as you go.
2. Scroll the interwebs
Apps like tumblr, weheartit, or clothing brand stores ALWAYS have photos that inspire me. I especially like Nanushka, OakandFort, Rouge, and accounts like @palodeep, @sleepyfilm, @nycbambi, @stylemefresh, to give me some motivation.
3. Read magazines
I cannot stress the importance of reading, so why not gain some creativity while your at it? I like reading fashion magazines like Vogue, Elle, Harpars Bazaar, as they have amazing editorials and articles to read. I also like going on their youtube channels and watching little videos that they make. Absolutely the best way to spend Friday nights.
4. Listen to music or podcasts
You know how some music makes you wanna dance, or go for a run, or do something productive? Well some music can also make you want to do something CREATIVE. This varies though, for me, I get inspired listening to jazz music but for you it could be hip hop, rap, classical! As for podcasts, I love Fashion No Filter by Camille Charriere and Monica Ainley, and The ultimate health podcast as well!
5. Draw (or attempt to)
Pull out a drawing book, or lined paper, and just let your hand draw whatever it wants to draw. You don’t even have to be good at it, think of something and draw it! This just allows your thoughts to be presented on something visually. If drawing isn’t your calling, you can also write lists or a poem!
I hope these tips help you in producing more creative ideas. Sometimes ideas don’t flow out no matter what I do, and those are the times I make some avocado toast and watch Friends. Don’t stress out about it, let the ideas find YOU.
