If you’ve been feeling stuck and uninspired here are several ways to help find inspiration:

• Jot your ideas down in one place
• Practice mindfulness- focus on the good 
• Read books and poetry- “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” – Maya Angelou.
• Look to others for sources of inspiration- make a list of all the ways your loved ones are your heroes
• Corny as it sounds – seek out inspirational films – It’s a Wonderful Life, The Pursuit of Happyness, Forrest Gump or Life of Pi – find your own uplifting film.
• Find inspiration in yourself – recognise your strengths, try something new
• Express yourself creatively – dance, draw, make music
