Do you wake-up feeling inspired by the day ahead? What does it mean to wake-up inspired? It is to wake-up feeling alive and enthusiastic about the day ahead. Maybe you are enthusiastic about what you might learn today or experience today? Maybe about what you are going to do or give or create today? Maybe about whom you are meeting today and the anticipated fun?An original meaning of ‘to inspire’ was ‘to breathe life into’. To wake-up inspired is to wake-up and breathe into our day. We can best of all ‘breathe life into’ our day when we are connected with our creativity, gifts and purpose.Awaken your Inspired Self
1/ Reconnect with your creativity and unique gifts. Meditation is a way to reconnect. In meditation we can experience our inner peace and creativity. There is a well-known link between creativity and silence of the mind.
You could try this: get up 15 minutes earlier than usual and start your day with ten minutes of meditation. Take a quality that you would like to express, to share today; reflect on this and allow yourself to experience that quality. Then go out into the day with the aim to put that quality into play as much as possible today. At the end of the day see how it went. Remember, to be patient with yourself. You will get tripped up, make sure to learn from these and you will get tripped up less and less and less.
2/ Uncover your purpose in life. What is it you are uniquely here to give? This doesn’t necessarily mean changing your career; it could be that your purpose is connected with cheering people up and this you can do wherever you are.
3/ Who inspires you? What quality is it that they are expressing that inspires you? Why does it inspire you? It is one of your own special unique qualities, so go out and start expressing that quality in your day to day life.
4/ Start visiting places or going to events that inspires you, e.g. work-shops, plays, the river, the mountains, art galleries or libraries etc. Also, connect with other people who are also interested in whatever inspires you.
