10 simple hacks to help you feel inspired

It’s hard to feel inspired all the time. That’s why we’ve put together this list of inspirational hacks to help get those creative juices flowing again.

Have fun exploring our 10 simple hacks to feel inspired.

You can try as few or as many as you wish — and you might even feel motivated to come up with a few of your own!

Hack #1 Make over your room

By making a few simple changes to your environment, you will feel more inspired to spend time there.

This is a great idea if you work from home and your study space is looking a little tired.

Easy wins include painting the walls in a fresh colour, adding some houseplants for greenery and investing in some soft furnishings like cushions and rugs to create an inviting atmosphere.

Hack #2 Learn something new

Broaden your horizons by learning something new. It doesn’t matter what it is — the very fact that you are stepping out of your comfort zone will feel exciting.

Not sure what to try? Take a look at some of the things you could learn:

  • A foreign language
  • The planets in the solar system
  • A musical instrument
  • How to build your own website
  • A new type of cuisine
  • How to grow your own edible garden

Hack #3 Create a vision board

A vision board is exactly what the title suggests — a board that depicts how you want your life to be.

You can use apps like Pinterest or use a traditional pin board and fill it with pictures of dreams you want to fulfil.

Every time you look at your vision board, you will feel inspired and motivated to pursue the life you really desire.

Hack #4 Start a journal

Keeping a journal is an enjoyable way to express your thoughts and feelings.

It’s also a creative outlet, allowing you to jot down any ideas that come into your head.

While they may not seem life-changing at the time, looking back on your notes can provide inspiration with a bit of hindsight.

Hack #5 Look to the past

Sometimes evoking positive memories of the past can trigger those sparks of inspiration.

So get out those photo albums from your childhood or even visit some of the places you loved to play as a kid.

Enjoy all those feel-good vibes and find inspiration in your happiest memories.

Hack #6 Explore a new place

Discovering a place you’ve never been to before can infuse you with positive energy.

It doesn’t even have to be far away — why not just jump in the car and see where it takes you?

The very act of travelling will be enough to spark your imagination, and who knows what you will discover when you get there?

Hack #7 Start a conversation with a stranger

Strangers don’t have to be scary! In fact, you may find conversations with people you don’t know are the most insightful and inspirational you ever have.

So next time you’re travelling on public transport or getting your coffee, don’t be afraid to pass the time of day with the person next to you.

Making connections with someone new can be heartwarming and inspiring all at once.

Hack #8 Read an autobiography

Read an autobiography of someone you admire, and you will be sure to feel inspired.

This is especially true if it’s a “rags to riches” life story or if they have documented the struggles they’ve encountered on the way.

You may even feel so inspired that you start writing your own autobiography!

Hack #9 Watch a classic movie

The classics are so-called for a reason. A great story, a stellar cast and stunning scenes can be the ingredients you need to feel inspired.

Powerful and thought-provoking, some of the classic movies of all time have inspired many people to make changes in their everyday lives.

Hack #10 Wear a mantra band

A mantra band is a wristband customised with a quote of your choice to help you feel inspired.

The possibilities are endless with personalised wristbands. Choose a plain wristband in your favourite colour and have it personalised with some inspiring words.

Silicone wristbands are a great choice, as they’re durable, hypoallergenic and feel really comfy too.
