Inspiration for Writing in A FEW WORDS.
What can we do when the mental well is dry?
We can seek new wells of inspiration.
Sometimes, we just have to venture out.
There are days where I just couldn’t write. My working desk and emails doesn’t inspire me to. Thus, I will take a short break from my desk and head downstairs for an environment refresh.
It works for me because the mind which is empty, acts like an empty sponge for new sources of inspiration.
A simple hello at the lift lobby with our neighbours trigger the thought of meaningful relationships. As the lift motions to the Ground Level, the mind works to understand how relationships are important for mutual social support and why we have to give in order to receive.
That is one new topic in the bag.
As I get to the coffee-shop for a caffeine shot, I motioned towards the empty table surrounded by endless chatter. I tune in.
Conversations come alive when the elderly spoke of their grandchildren and their glorious days in office.
They go in depth in terms of cost of livings and how the Good Old Days were good because they were simple and straightforward compared to current day where texts come with images and audios.
“Why can’t Life be simpler?”
That is another brilliant topic.
Then I would take a longer path home so I can get to the park.
The sea of green calms me.
Not just the colour effect. I get to appreciate how trees are not one and the same. There are many different species and within the same family, differences in height, stem thickness and depth of green pigments were prominent.
Nature has taught me a lesson on diversity and humility.
That is the 3rd topic I bagged from my stroll in the park.
Then I would hurry home so I can scribble these 3 topic headers into my Post-It notes for future writing.
Sometimes, all it takes is a short walk around our environment to fill our mental well with inspiration.
Our environment nurtures us.
