All week I’ve been reading Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic in chunks. Have you read it? I have a tendency to devour creative books, feel that initial burst of inspiration (“I can do anything! I can do everything! I’m going to do it all today!”), and then, business as usual, creative or not. I’m hoping to actually process all the info and use it to my advantage, and breaking it down piece by piece has really helped with my productivity and clarity of ideas. Naturally it made sense to push this inspiration for creatives resource theme we’ve had on the back burner to today. Here’s some inspiring posts for your weekend:
1. This list of 18 podcasts for women online entrepreneurs Olyvia came up would be an excellent reference whenever you’re having an off day or week as a creative. So many good ones!
2. Jenn has touched on having big dreams before, and we can both relate to Gina Alyse’s musings on whether your goals are too realistic. It’s an excellent alternative take on goal setting that takes into account the beauty of having big dreams!
3. This one’s for those of you who need more of a kick in the pants sort of method for dream chasing and creative living. Holly+Laurel wrote a post on how to lose your creativity. It might sting a bit if you’re in a creative rut and doing all those very things.
4. Made Vibrant wrote about how following your curiosity is the way to change your life (and find the career you want too). Once you read her story, you’ll have that aha! moment where you realize it really IS that simple.
What’s on the agenda for your weekend? Any room for inspiration?
