Scents bring inspiration for writing
Scents bring inspiration for writing:
Inspirational writing is a part and parcel of the art of
writing. Inspiration is indeed needed for writing. Without any
inspiration, it is quite difficult to get ideas and thoughts to
write. This is more so for articles or written matter that is
more dependent on imagination, than facts. So follow these tips
to get some hints on the secret of inspirational writing!
Whenever you feel stressed out or blocked while writing, it is
most important to perhaps go for a short break or have a change
of scenery. This helps a lot as the mind feels diverted, and
refreshed, to start afresh on your writing, and thus produce
inspirations for your writing! If you have the habit of typing
your first drafts, it is better to hand write them for a change.
Feel the difference once the ink of the pen melts into the paper
while you let your creativity flow! Inspiration abounds here.
If you feel too stressed or tired of writing, flip through
magazines and books. This is because the colors and ideas found
in the magazines provide inspiration to spark your attitude. The
colors blue and green greatly reduce your stress levels by
thirty percent or more, and thus provide scope for inspirational
writing. Aromatherapy is great for providing inspirations to
you. To do this, you have to add strong scents to the room with
lightly scented candles or perhaps take a stroll down to a store
that is heavily scented. Or else, find an orange or strawberry,
and smell it. The smell is certain to bring about a change in
your mood and trigger inspiration in you. All this is possible
because smells have always been known to awaken the creativity
in you and also trigger memories of stories from the past. These
old stories can provide the base for your new stories!
For real life inspiration, you may also try seeing or renting an
inspirational movie during your relaxation time. Take a notebook
along too if required to record the inspirational phrases in the
movie. You can then later pen down thoughts related to these
inspirational phrases. Reading poetry is also known to help
spark creativity in you. The rhymes and wordings kindle memories
and inspiration for the author in you. Reading books too help in
this way. It's hard to believe, but just looking at bold and
bright colors for a few minutes too provides the necessary
inspiration for you to write! This is because these colors
change your mood, and thus makes you more relaxed to think up
something to write upon. Change your vibration energy by doing
something to switch yourself into high gear. Try taking a
shower, going for a walk or turning on the music and dancing
naked for a while! All these movements are sure to give you some
inspiration to think of and to write about.
Talking with friends about the topic you are writing about also
brings out some inspiration in you as it helps in fleshing out
ideas and creativity in you. You could perhaps record your
conversation, with their permission, and then play it back later
to check the nuances that you may have missed. If you have no
close friends near you, you could always write an email to your
friend, wherever he is, to tell him /her what exactly you intend
to accomplish. And that you are stuck and need some inspiration
for moving on in your writing. You are sure to get an answer for
the email, to help you in your writing. If you have the
financial capacity, you could always get a virtual assistant to
do the typing for you so that you are free to draw inspiration
from the surroundings to continue your writing. You could
perhaps fax your writing, or dictate the matter into the
computer and then send the voice file for transcription.
God always provides us with inspiration in whatever we do. So to
rekindle this inspiration, it is quite beneficial to go to the
church for the noon service and whisper a prayer or two. You are
sure to feel your energy reconnected with the universe to help
you replenish whatever it is that might be missing. Keeping the
thought of being grateful for whatever it is that you have, and
not for what you are missing, gives you inspiration too. This is
because you learn to appreciate what you have, and don't feel
dejected. Dejection tends to lead to depression, and depression,
means no completion of your writing! Laugh, and the world
laughs, it is often said. And how true it is. Some authentic,
raw laughter really frees the psyche, to start the inspiration
and creativity wheel moving!
If you are used to writing in a quiet place, make a change and
go to a noisy place, like McDonald's to write. This is because
once the place is noisy, you tend to need more concentration and
inspiration to go on with the writing process. On the contrary,
going for a long, quiet and leisurely drive while listening to
your favorite CD too helps to provide inspiration. Sing out of
tune, for the sake of relaxing, and see how much inspired you
can get! Use your creativity, and your inspiration, to produce a
piece of writing that is very much interesting and beneficial
for all to read!
