Find New Inspiration

It's the end of May and many people are feeling tired and burned out, ready for summer holidays but they are still a little ways off. So how does one go about finding inspiration and keeping your focus during those tough days ahead? 

Well there are a number of simple and approachable ways to pull yourself out of a rut and find motivation even if it's just in small things you do. 

1. Work on small tasks whether at your job or at home. Do things in small increments and you'll feel more accomplished. 

2. Add some exercise to your day. Walk around the block where you work on your lunch hour or break. Take a bike ride or nature walk in the evening after your work day, you might be surprised how much energy this gives you.

3. Stop trying to please everyone and be perfect all the time. This can be exhausting mentally and physically. Just always do your best and trust that it is good enough. 

4. Get together with a friend, have coffee or tea and share a little. This can help you ease anxiety and may perk you up. 

5.Set a small goal for yourself with a reward. Perhaps a special coffee, a mani/pedi, or something you've been wanting to buy but felt you shouldn't. 

6. Read some articles or blogs that can help inspire you. Even a Youtube of some one else's work or hearing a challenge that they've overcome can be of inspiration. 

7. Look back at your accomplishments. All long term goals took time and were done in small increments to make them happen. Be proud of yourself, it's okay!  

8. Do what makes your soul happy! At the end of the day you want to be happy so maybe you need to make some changes in your life, your work, your future. Look for ways to accomplish these things if possible. 

I'm always working on ways to move forward with my design business. Always new things to learn and implement. 

I'm sure it's the same no matter what work you do. So I hope you get refreshed and find new fun ways to be inspired.
