5 Daily Doses of Inspiration

It is 6:30 am and you are barefoot taking strides along the shoreline. You can feel the wet sand between your toes, breathe in the morning salty ocean and see the sun rising over the horizon. The beauty of what is earth sparks your inspiration!

Mental stimulation & inspiration is everywhere. To say that my inspiration is derived from one single element would be inaccurate. For me, it can be found in a few places.

Runs

I love to run. I feel freedom and accomplishment with every mile gained. When I first began running I could not pace myself for longer than 2 minutes. Now, I have a long list of races and half marathons that I have completed. It is not only a reminder that, as Adidas states, “Impossible if nothing”, but also gets my body in a healthy flow and I can think and see more clearly. Perhaps it is from the disconnect from the world and stress relief felt from my runs, but my creative juices start flowing.

Print Materials

Looking through magazines, newspapers, or books that have amazing art and advertisement motivate and inspire me. I have gathered several clips from print materials and compiled them into one reference book. This, of course, is a continuous cycle because advertisements are constantly being printed by the thousands.

People Watching

The interactions between people is very interesting. The exchange of emotions and ideas between people fascinates me. Furthermore, my personal conversations with others opens up my my own mind and furthers my knowledge on a daily basis.
