Where do you GO and what do you DO to get fresh inspiration?

  • We all have out moments when we hit a dead end or simply cannot seem to think clearly. Where do you go and what do you do to get out of these mind numbing situations?

  • I like to sit at the water's edge. I live in Kansas, so no beach for me, just the lake. I find the water tranquil and relaxing. I can listen to the wind and the waves and clear everything out - all the junk - and then slowly I can start to hear myself think again. If I can't go to the lake, I will take a walk and listen to nature. I listen to the wind and the birds and the insects...whatever can connect me back to nature. That seems to help me find myself the most when I just can't cope any more.

  • I go into my meditation mode. Go where my goals are.
    and/or
    I go running or walking or bike riding or practice body combat. After a while, I can think of happy thoughts, more abundantly, and think more clearly.
    I have to have breaks in my day to regroup, so it's important that I take breaks at my desk by doing something else or away.;)

  • Running (especially on the treadmill) is my really creative time. My mind really wanders and comes up with some interesting stuff when I run!

  • I used to go running on the beach but can't do that with the baby anymore! I think that now, i go to the jacuzzi at the gym. It's one of the only times I get to be alone.

  • I meet with my good friends, I read about the people I admire, I watch a great movie, I read books, I play with my daughter and my husband, I watch the stars and the planets (the telescope helps as well as the software that came with it), I navigate the web on sites like Fora.tv, nature.com, sciam.com, fastcompany.com etc. Also, I like to swim to relax, soak in a jacuzzi, have a good drink and exquisite food in a good company, travel around the world ... whooo! so many things to do, so many things to enjoy!
