How to Recognize Inspiration Before You Talk Yourself Out of It (BKI 56)

Hi, this is Diana. Bright knowledge insights give you one thing you can do today to move your creativity ahead. Do you feel like inspiration needs to be like a raging inferno in order to be legitimate? What I've found is, in fact, inspiration looks much more everyday. It's a tiny little glimmer of interest. You walk past your harp and you're oh, maybe I should play something. Or you have a thought and you're like, maybe I should write that down.

That is what inspiration looks like. More often than not. If we wait for it to look like a blazing inferno, we may never actually get there and we may never do our creative things. It's really easy to talk yourself out of being creative. So you get that little glimmer and you're like, no, no, no, I should do my email. Or you get that urge to write something down, no, no, I gotta do laundry.

Those things will get done. You will do your email, you your laundry. But if you don't act on your inspiration, you may never write down that thought. You may never play that phrase in that way. So my advice to you today is whenever you get even the slightest glimmer of inspiration to do your creative craft, jump on it. Do it. You may not feel very dramatic and it may not even feel exciting, but once you get started, that's when the fire starts getting turn into a blazing inferno.

So try it today. Jump on any spark of enthusiasm, of inspiration that you have today. Go through with it. Bye.
