Affirmation: I am inspired by the world around me.
My life is full of fascinating people, places, and things. Every day, something new happens to me.
No moment in time is ever truly like any other, even if they sometimes seem that way. Because of this, I am continually inspired by the world around me.
If I ever feel bored, or feel like nothing is changing, I remind myself to pay closer attention.
Everything is always in a constant state of flux, whether it is the grass growing, a different meal to prepare tonight than I had last night, or a change in the rhythm of my breathing in response to my emotions. When I notice these things, my life takes on color and dimension.
Also, I take the time to make note of the things that inspire me. I may take a photograph, blog about them, or simply etch them into my memory.
With these experiences, I fill my inner well of images. This way, I never run dry.
The world around me feeds my creativity and leaves me overflowing with ideas.
My desire to live vibrantly is rekindled each day as I look for novel ways to approach life’s challenges.
I revel in the abundance of ideas presented to me and try to incorporate them into my life whenever I feel they might benefit me, which is often!
Today, I make time to contemplate the inspiration that surrounds me.
I am thankful for my many opportunities to be, and to learn and to grow through experiencing the world. And I will continue to seek out new ideas and experiences frequently to help keep me inspired.
