154: Gathering Inspiration in the Slow Seasons
Aug 01, 2024
As summer continues on, I find myself settling into what I affectionately call my "summer mode." Whether I'm adventuring on a family trip, lounging in a hammock with my kids, watching our ducks play in the creek, or tending to my garden, these moments brim with life and inspiration.
These quieter, slower times are not just restful but essential for creativity, and I explore how embracing these moments can fuel your imagination, spark creativity, and rejuvenate your artistic soul. I share how to harness inspiration from life's quieter moments, turning them into powerful sources of creativity. Whether it's a hike through the woods, capturing the play of light on leaves, or the sounds of nature, these experiences become a wellspring of ideas.
Listen as I guide you through intentional inspiration gathering, turning these moments into a library of creativity. Discover how to identify your personal slow seasons and transform them into periods of creative growth. Whether you're traveling, taking nature walks, or simply observing the world around you, these moments are rich with inspiration waiting to be uncovered!
Embracing the slower seasons can fill your creativity well and prepare you for your next big project.
Discussed in this episode:
- How using slower, quieter moments in your life can help gather inspiration
- The importance of collecting ideas, photos, and observations during downtime
- Why to pay attention to colors, patterns, textures, and sounds to build a more vivid library of inspiration
- Encouragement to take time to reflect on what you've collected and to organize it in a way that's easily accessible
- Understand that creativity has natural cycles of growth and stagnation, and trust that inspiration will return in its own time!

Review of the week:
SIMPLE, EASY & REAL!
As a new small business owner there is way too much information out there that either helps or hinders progress. Bonnie is a major help! Her podcast is calming, as if you’re talking over a coffee. She gives practical, real-life advice that does not make you feel inept. I’ve learned so much listening to her podcasts that I’m actually motivated to grow my business thanks to her ideas. Thank you so much for “getting us”.
