These inspirational moments go in stark contrast with moments of desperation, when you are sitting in front a blank computer screen, watching the cursor blink and begging your mind to give you some kind of bright idea. Consider the following suggestions that can help you to keep those inspirational moments coming while simultaneously avoiding that sinking feeling of desperation.

You can increase the odds that you will be inspired if you 'put on your thinking cap,' so to speak. For some people, this expression is quite literal. For most individuals, though, it means that you need to figure out how to get yourself into inspirational moments.

Find Your Personal Thinking Cap

Ask yourself: Do I need to be alone in a quiet place in order to come up with ideas, or do I do better in a crowded, noisy area?

Is my inspiration more likely to arrive early in the morning or late at night while I burn the midnight oil?

Does sitting by a window inspire me as I watch the goings on outside or does it just distract me?

If you are feeling desperate for some inspiration, you would surely be benefited by taking a little while to stop concentrating so much on the task at hand and start thinking about or doing something else. That lets your mind relax and leaves you more inspiration prone when you go back to work.

Form a sort of inspiration support group. All that means is that you should show your work to your husband or wife, a friend, or a mentor, honestly looking for their suggestions regarding your work. Talking about your ideas is likely to help them flow more freely.
