What is inspiration, where did it take? I began to collect information with a little interview and now will share with you the answers intelligent and creative people.
1. Is something that comes from uncertainty and not depend on me.2. This feeling, the feeling of charge and energy.3. Inspiration can be obtain from other people or their work.4. Inspiration – is the driving force.5. It allows you to show that you are, how you feel life.6. Inspiration – the brightness, the colors of life.7. And something that struck me - "Inspiration comes with pain”.I also drew inspiration from the pain, turmoil and alcohol.
Here are the answers was the most common. Very General, no specifics. I understand that for many inspiration – grace that comes out of nowhere and makes life brighter.
There are also people who do not believe in inspiration, I think that is an excuse for the lazy, because if there is no inspiration – and work, work for these people can be without this ephemeral feelings.
As usual, the truth is out there. I, as a psychologist, based on the creative responses and experiences, I decided this feeling is decomposed into the elements to find a way to control them, and went out on a couple of the most common stereotypes that block this condition:
1. Of course, if you think to create you can only experiencing extremes of emotions – you'll be unconsciously to avoid the work that requires inspiration. Want to break this stereotype. For creative work does not need to be at the peak of the senses, enough to be in a good mood or just pay attention to thrilling your question. Next, I will clarify this point.2. The second stereotype – the inspiration comes out of nowhere, it is impossible to control. Trick question – how people who earn their creativity can be inspired by most of your life? I assume your answer is “this is either genius or very talented people”. In some cases, but not in the majority. These people were able to find your source, and I will tell you how I found your.Here are my keys to inspiration:1. tear down the old installation, I've listed them above, thereby open “channel” work.
2. on the Basis of the provisions of that inspiration – the feeling, emotional mood, I realized that itself can generate a certain status.
– If need to be in good shape physically – I drink coffee or add in some sport.
– If need to arouse interest and excite the brain – I read articles, books on exciting topics (feminism/chauvinism, the biography of the great, etc.).
– If need "air" easy as – I go outside and looking for beautiful places to contemplate nature or gaze at passers-by.
– If my mind is a blank and need ideas – I find “victim”, in dialogue with interesting people, interesting ideas are born.
3. Rule 5 minutes. Sometimes it seems that the head is empty, heart too, not a lot, but do you need – for the time is running out. I sit down at my blank sheet, I give myself 5-10 minutes and just start writing. Practice shows that it is born of thought, the feelings and everything turns out, but if not – I'm doing another attempt in an hour – two.
This is certainly not the whole list, the inspiration can be drawn in different places. And what methods do you have? Share them in the comments, put a like and to subscribe to the channel.
