Every day is a new adventure, a new opportunity to be a better, more realized you. Although, sometimes we need a little boost because we’re feeling sluggish, sad, or exhausted from day-to-day life. It can be hard to self-motivate or find inspiration around you, but it’s definitely possible.

We’ve compiled a list of inspirational ways to get yourself going every day, because we all could use a little boost sometimes. Here’s a variety of ways to motivate and inspire yourself:

• Start small, build momentum, and allow ideas to come to you.
• This is especially helpful with creative tasks like writing, drawing, composing, etc.
• Create a playlist full of energetic music and play it on a loop.
• Go for a run or walk.
• Nature is full of inspiration, use that to your advantage.
• Declutter the space around you; a cluttered desk = a cluttered mind.
• Declutter doesn’t necessarily mean “throw away,” simply reorganize your space and store things taking up room.
• Take a nap! Mid-afternoon naps are particularly effective for productivity.
• Read a short book.
• Poetry books or books with short stories are great choices for a quick read.
• Scroll through Pinterest boards for inspiration.
• Flip through a color swatch book or Pantone’s color finder.
• For some people, color is a stimulus for inspiration and can help the mind find answers with less difficulty.
• Meditate in a dark room or do a little yoga.
• Set periodic reminders with motivational quotes or inspirational phrases.
• There are countless apps who provide this little service as well!
• Take a shower.
• Watch Bob Ross painting videos.
•  Create a physical list of goals and set it  somewhere in front of you.
• A modern chalkboard or dry erase board that you can also use for tasks is great to have!
• Listen to TedTalk or other motivational videos.
• Get dressed up in a cute outfit and take yourself out to a cafe.
• Sit outdoors in the sun for a while.
• Soak up Vitamin D as a mental health cleanse.
• Volunteer for a local charity or community organization.
• Daydream the perfect scenario.
• Sit back and take some time out of your day to envision the best outcome.
• Make a list or create a moodboard of everything that makes you smile.
• Develop a mantra and repeat it yourself daily.
• “I can do this!” “Every day is a new beginning.” “It gets better.”

This list could’ve gone on and on, but this is a great way to get started. Remember the most important thing: take it easy on yourself and be your own cheerleader. You’re in charge of your own destiny, so take a deep breath and go for it.
