Now...

"Sometimes you just need to reinvent what inspires you."

Thank you, Haley, for the quote! I think this is exactly what I needed to hear. I know that for me personally, it is sometimes easy to get distracted by all of the things going on every day, that I don't allow myself to be inspired. I enjoy appreciating the little things, and smiling at the beautiful world I am surrounded by, but "inspired" is becoming a daunting word lately. I find that if I take time to learn music, paint, cook something new, or explore, I am fulfilled with an energy that I can't find in anything else. Lately I have not put enough time into doing those things - the creative things that I know my mind is dying to explore - and I think it is time to, like always, stop making excuses. Hearing this quote was precisely the push that I needed to do that, and to "force" myself to make time for it.

So that being said, I am going to take the next few days to do some exploring... and I'll report back with any good finds...

Now in the meantime, what inspires YOU? When do you feel the most energized? How do you stay in touch with your creative side? I'm curious. Send me an email at TheDailyChallengeBlog@gmail.com or leave a comment here. As always, thanks for sharing!
