But what about the times when you need a little extra inspiration? Those times when you don’t want to wait for it to come to you, but you need it so badly you grab a weapon and chase after it. Whether it’s to help get you through tough times, or to help unblock your creativity, or boost your spirituality, we all have those moments when we need something to pull us out of a funk.
Generally when I can’t visit the ocean (the nearest one is two states away, after all) I crank my stereo and go for a drive. And I need fresh air, even if it’s cold, so I’ll sit or walk outside if I can. In the spring, planting flowers can also help.
What do you do when you need inspiration?

I try really hard to do nothing, when I need inspiration to strike. But really, I've never noticed a truly convenient time for inspiration to strike. Sometimes it is more about clearing my head than anything else.
Well, if we don't count the fact that my inspiration usually strikes when I'm doing mindless chores like laundry and vacuuming and sweeping and dishes...then I go for a walk on our 5 acres. Occasionally I'll go up in (my brother's) tree house because it feels so removed from the world. It's a good place to just think. :)
I talk to friends, listen to music...eat chocolate. (That's so bad.)=)
I go walking.
I watch a Harry Potter movie... I have watched them so many times, my mind wanders freely. It's just a matter of time before something pops into my head.
I don't know that I have a go-to method for inspiration. But this post has inspired me to find one.
I love car-drives-to-music though. It always draws out the bad and brings in the good.
