I’ve had this video for awhile now. It gives me a boost when I’m in a creative funk.

Great video and very timely for me as I’ve been lacking motivation in my photography recently and life in general if I’m honest. I’m going on a family vacation shortly and I’ll definitely be trying some of these ideas while I’m away from the usual daily grind. I have a set of dice similar to the Metaphor Dice with pictures to suggest ideas instead of words. The way you used the Metaphor Dice has suggested a different way of using the ones I already have which I’ll try with some writing. I’m also planning on bringing a small sketch pad with me to try drawing for the first time in my adult life. Even a few stick characters and a sentence or two every day might be enough to get me going again. Thanks for everything you do!

I really love your passion. Some amazing ideas for staying inspired. I absolutely love Pinterest. If I see something that inspires I add it to a page. The only issue is finding time to put ideas into action!

Just as an aside. How many remotes have you broken?!. I love the way you just drop it every time!

I finally watched this one! Can we just talk about how awesome those Dice are! What a great kickstarter. I love the daily writing prompts too. For me, being in a space that “feels” good is critical. I constantly change my workspace because sometimes it just gets stale and feels blah. I also stay inspired by going to new places and adventuring. Additionally, reading helps a lot too and daydreaming (as you said). Love you Brooke!

Walking in nature. It often starts as I just gotta get out and get some exercise! And it almost always fires up inspiration and creativity.

Hi Brooke! I use your first two tips very often. For everything. And I must say I loved the third tip: Metaphor Dice. Awesome! I think I will get one. I also like to list and write, but what I really like is to walk around and observe what surrounds me in a non-obsessive way. Without waiting, inspiration reveals itself in the most insignificant and least expected things. xoxo

Thank you so much for this Brooke!!! Life stuff has been getting in the way of having any creativity for months now, or at least acting on it. I woke up this morning thinking about how I need to find inspiration and do something with it or I’m going to wither away!! And here you are with wonderful tips! I totally agree with the organization and being free of clutter. I think that’s my biggest obstacle at the moment because I moved recently and my work space is still a mess : (
After creating the space to work, taking walks usually helps me to clear my head and daydream. I also like to look at photos and things from my past and go through old memories. Nostalgia often gets my mind flowing in a different space.

I loved this video! I always use stuff from around my house, and as luck would have it, I have a LOT OF JUNK! LOL So there is always something to use. 🙂
I am working on the editing of a photo right now that I used a double-headed battle ax in, I made the ax when I was like 12 or 13 years or for a Halloween costume. 🙂
Can’t wait for next weeks video.
