For me, inspiration is the sudden urge to create. Often, inspiration is fleeting, so I have to write down what I thought of in those moments of inspiration. I can then, looking back on those fuurious scribblings, recall what it was that brought me such a sense of inspiration and start a new wave of creative motivation.

I most often become inspired when I have something to build off of- a book, genre, or trope I've become fascinated with, some small thing I own that I can come up with a story for, or just a sentence or two that could bloom into a whole world. A framework for a world can quickly build.

I feel most inspired when I am alone and the environment is cozy. My bedroom is the area that I go to when I want to feel inspired due to it being my space. I am able to customize the area to my liking, for example I can light a candle to provide a warmer feeling. I can also open my window to feel more free and have a brighter space. These small changes that I make to my bedroom add to the feeling of personal inspiration and helps me feel motivated.

I feel most inspired when I'm alone and bored. Having nothing to think about and stress over, my brain gets to "rest" and it's at this stage where ideas and inspiration come to me. I also feel really inspired when I listen to music, being able to hear the creation of others and their emotions with each and every lyric really does have a positive impact one me. It makes me want to try and do something as awesome and fun.

I feel inspired when I am out in nature or alone with my thoughts. The best time is on my easy runs that I do alone. It creates a nice pause in the day for my mind. Running for an hour pulls my mind away from the 50 random things that I need to be doing and allows me to become a little bored. Sometimes these runs allow me to think of plans for the weekend. Sometimes I just don't think about anything, and it merely serves as creating a blank slate to reset. I also find being in nature or just outside on these easy runs or even walks is inspiring. Once again I am able to slow down and consider simple things like how beautiful a tree or the sky is. It makes me more appreciative of the world and makes me what to contribute something to it.

I feel most inspired when I am bored. When I am occupied I think about what I am currently focused on and I am not connecting things from other sources. However, when I am bored I think of many different things and can relate them together and create new thoughts. When I am focused on my English assignments I am not thinking about my government class, however, when I am not working and thinking about both I am able to relate them and have new original thoughts. It is only afterward when I am not actively working and I am mindlessly thinking about my day that I can connect these things and come upon new revelations.

This video reflects on what I believe is one of the greatest sources of inspiration for myself, and that is rest. Ironically, allowing my brain a time to rest, in such a way that I am intentionally preventing myself drifting into thoughts of past events or allowing my brain to remain consumed by stimuli, I find that I am able to make connections that I had not previously. The video describes this phenomenon as connecting unrelated ideas, or "thinking outside of the box". If there is never a time in which the mind is allowed to exclude the cacophony of thoughts that is developed throughout the day or over time, there will never be a change in thinking from overly intentional though to creative thought.

I have many things that inspire me. One thing that inspires me is looking at creative works made by others. When I look at another work I think " I want to make something like that" which helps to motivate me. Another thing that inspires me is discussing various topics of interest with my friends. This helps me express ideas that I have and get them out of my head which motivates me to act upon those ideas.

I feel most inspired when I am around others who are motivational and bring me up. For instance, I can always do my homework when I am calling or in the presence of a friend because they are encouraging me. At the same time, however, being alone is also inspiring to me. It allows me to spend time with my own thoughts and take time to analyze my surroundings. Going on walks alone and admiring the views always inspire me to be in my best mindset. I believe that my inspiration comes from my mood, which can be affected by my environment.

I feel inspired usually when the atmosphere is warm. That can be when the temperature is warm, like in the summer, or just when I am with a group of people who light up the room. I feel energized and ready to have conversation filled with new ideas. I also am inspired by music. Whenever I have a chance to listen to music, I usually am. When I do my homework, I like to have something playing to help me focus and get my brain thinking. When I am out for a walk or just laying in my room, music helps me think, clear my mind, and feel creative.

I feel most inspired when I am around a group of like-minded people and discussing ideas. Listening to the ideas, perspectives, and opinions of others allows me to further defend or adapt my own view point. I am then able to take a stance on a topic and confidently write about it. Another way that I gain inspiration is by looking at the world around me, especially at the aspects that are truly great. On the other hand, I think it is helpful to identify problems in our world, because we can then be inspired to combat them with a group of like-minded people with the same goals.

I find that i feel most inspired when listening to music. Music is a huge part of my life, so I spend a lot of time listening to it throughout the day. Whenever I want to do something creative (especially with writing) I usually listen to songs that really get my brain going. The songs usually have in depth lyrics with deep meanings, or they have instrumentals with unique sounds that are not usually heard. I like to get my imagination going when it comes to the storyline of songs, and this always seems to help me feel inspired.

I feel most inspired when I am with others. I love discussing history, politics, and current events. Hearing others opinions and views makes me feel energized to take action and gives me ideas of ways I can help or make a difference. My writing reflects my activist-mindset and I am able to write work that reflects my views and hopefully inspires others after I have conversations with peers.

Music also helps inspire me. I listen to music while I do my homework, walk my dog, and get ready. Music gives me ideas and gets me excited to turn my thoughts into a work.

I feel inspired when I am alone and have something in my mind that makes me want write a creative work. I love to have music playing as it helps me to focus and develop a tone. Music has always helped me to focus on my work. It helps me develop the tone of my work through the tone of the music I am listening to. The mood of the music helps me to form my own tone in my work. I am also inspired when I see other creative works that I enjoy. These could be books, movies, or tv shows.

The thing that inspires me most is wisdom and infinite things. I love looking out on an ocean and seeing no end, or looking up at the sky and seeing a million possibilities for life that could be billions of light years away. Even prairies are inspirational. Limitless grass, or limitless sand in deserts. Nature is also very inspirational because of all the beautiful colors and the complexity of it.

The sky is cloudy and the earth is damp from the rain earlier. The air carries a fresh scent reminiscent of dew and soil. The sun peeks through the branches of my tree illuminating the scene and casting a hazy rainbow in front of my window. Looking out the window at this scene, I feel most inspired when listening to music and reading a book in my home with weather presenting me from going outside. When I feel like I have no current obligations, nothing inhibits me from feeling inspired by the world around me and the media I choose to consume.

I feel most inspired when I'm bored, most likely in my bedroom relaxing. When my mind has nothing to think about, it will conjure up its own ideas, which can morph and change as I get inspired by other things. Other than that, I say I get inspired by other people's creations, especially other people's artwork. I think looking at other people's art can help inspire any creator, not just other artists, because art, in the drawing and painting sense, is all about conveying a message.

I feel the most inspired after the sun is shining into my room after my daily meditation. It helps me to clear my head and allows me to think deeper about things. I don't always have time in my day to meditate and that will make my brain all foggy because I haven't had the time to relax my mind and body and reflect on things like my day or deeper topics.

I have never sat down and thought about all the various aspects of what causes me to 'feel inspired' so it was interesting to see how many different moments, people, or events can cause inspiration. I think my inspiration often comes from the many conversations I have with others as it is a time where my brain feels the need to process more. Additionally, when talking with others, I have another person to bounce ideas off of allowing me to work through that initial inspiration. I found the concept of inspiration always being there to be very intriguing because I have always perceived it as this lightbulb that would always be either on, or off. However, after this video I think that representation is flawed. If it were to either be on or off, there is no consistency as mentioned by the author of the video.

I feel most inspired when I am alone and with my own thoughts. I tend to put on music and am able to calmly relax and be with my thoughts. My music that I play in the background will often inspire me to work harder or more. It allows me to zone out my surroundings and focus on just the words in the song. Additonally, I feel very inspired when I learn something new. For example, in classes when I learn something I did not know prior, I feel inspired to learn more about it, or tell others what I have learned. Whenever I am around my friends or large groups of people, it is hard for me to get inspired since there are so many distractions around me.

I perhaps feel the most inspired when journaling. Journalism forces me to contemplate the events of the day, and when I have to process my memories to put them down into writing, I often end up ranting about how the future may go, and set an action plan of sorts on addressing the future.

When I find inspiration, it usually comes in a quiet place and can really just to think to myself. When I can just sit there and think, that's where I get my motivation to do the things I need to do. Whether it be put away my laundry or finish up my homework, I will always tend to do it when my phone is away and it's just me in my room. I think where I come up with the most ideas is on the golf course. That is where I am always being creative, shaping shots and trying new things, like a new putting stroke.

I think I feel most inspired when I have goals. For volleyball inspiration really combines with motivation and helps me feel confident in my ability to perform well. When I go on walks or short jogs I have time to think about my goals and how I am inspired to complete them. When I have goals, inspiration really comes with it as you learn consistency will provide positive results.

I feel inspired when I see a problem or something that I want to change. When I see these things, my mind starts working to come up with solutions to better the situation. Something that also inspires me is listening to music. It helps me think and focus my mind and I often find inspiration while doing things to relax like listening to music.

I feel most inspired when I am away from distractions and most likely alone - usually this is when I'm on a run or in nature. Clearing my head helps me truly think through and come up with different ideas. Also, being alone or in nature helps me feel reenergized which often sparks new ideas too. Unfortunately, I usually have great ideas when I'm least likely to be able to write them down or act on them. I usually try to make a note in my phone or a voice memo to simply remember these moments of inspiration!
