1. Make a note of your dreams
Most of the dreams we have we don't remember when we wake up. The next time you wake up and can remember your dreams, make a note of them. Dreams have inspired many creative minds over the years.
2. Explore where you live
You don't have to travel far to get inspired. Go for a wander and explore the area where you live. You never know what inspirational sights and experience you can discover just minutes from home.
3. Recycle discarded ideas
If you're the type who writes everything down, keep doing it. Look through some of your old writing to see if there are any ideas that inspire you. Something you thought wasn't good enough before might be just what you need to get inspired.
4. Stay in good shape
Generally speaking, the healthier you are, the better your frame of mind should be. Getting inspired can be harder when you're not in the best shape. Get active and you'll stand a better chance of feeling inspired.
5. Look at other artists' work
One of the easiest ways to get inspired is to see what other people have created. Have a look online for works of art to inspire you, or better yet, visit a gallery. If other people have created these works of art, there's no reason why you can't do the same.
6. Listen to music
Listening to music is great because it can clear your mind. It can also put you in the mood for working, no matter what type of music you to. To get you in the mood, listen to your favourite, create a playlist or even listen to music you've never heard before.
7. Take a trip down memory lane
Everyone has lots of stories and every story can be a source of inspiration. Take a trip down memory lane and relive some of your favourite memories from your life so far. Get friends and families involved and share memories with them.
8. Make time for your hobbies
Think of a hobby that's got nothing to do with painting and make time for it. Focusing on something other than the task is a great way to recharge your creative batteries. You might even get some inspiration from practising your hobby as well.
9. Have more conversations
People can be a great source of inspiration and so can conversations. Have a conversation with a friend or family member, or even strike up a conversation with someone you don't know. You never know what you might end up talking about.
