Once Martin Luther said, “If you want to change the world, pick your pen and write”.

Nowadays, you can say if you want to change the perception of the world switch on your computer, log in and start blogging.

But when it comes to blogging, you need inspiration for writing, aspiration and so much more.

Sometimes, you really want to write about something, but you run short of your idea and this is one of the most frustrating parts of blogging.

Remember that treasures are always hidden under the depth of the sea. As said by Benjamin Franklin “Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing”.

I wrote my first blog not just because I wanted to earn some fame but because I wanted to read. So I started writing for myself.

As a writer, there is no limitation of your thoughts. What you see and feel becomes your inspiration. You just need to remember it, or I would say, explore it.

Here are few amazing tips and tricks to help you get the inspiration for writing your next blog post:

1. Meditate

Take a deep breath, calm your mind and meditate. Remember that meditation invokes creativity by improving your focus.

What you have to do is close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Meditation is all about freeing yourself from every thought.

In other words, it is about finding the inspiration that you’ve lost in the chaos of life.

To connect yourself with your inner self, you can even repeat some words or phrases, such as “Life is beautiful”, “This world is fantastic”, or “Everything is wonderful”.

2. Don’t Procrastinate

Procrastination is one of the hidden culprits behind the creative block. Why? This is because we become complacent after a time which deprives us of motivation.

Apart from this psychological aspect, some writers are too impatient to wait for inspiration. They are just happy in writing even if fails to inspire anyone.

But since you are reading this blog, we can assume that you are not one of them. So rather than wasting your time sitting idle, you should search for things that can inspire you.

To write fantastic blogs, you have to be immensely creative. And being creative needs inspiration.

In this day and age, it takes only a tap of the mouse to get access to things that can inspire you.

For example, you can research the online resources and look for amazing inspirational ideas. You can read listicles, watch a movie or listen to one of your favorite songs.

Search for anything that can help you exercise your creative muscles to get inspiration for writing.

10. Close The Doors

Solitude is the best companion for creative people. When you are alone, it makes you explore your thoughts.

In one of his books, Stephen King advises to write your draft while the doors are closed and then revise it with the door open.

However, it doesn’t mean that you have to confine yourself to a room. Instead, the idea is to avoid the second opinions of the people who live within your proximity.

It is quite possible that you are getting influenced by the opinions of others. And it is hindering you from reaching the zenith of the idea that you want to write about in your next article.

If that is the case, then it is better that you keep a distance from people who could stop you from reaching the climax of an inspiring idea.

11. Music

Therefore, if you want to lift up your mood, you can play some good music.

Wrapping Up…

Remember that if you want to get inspiration for writing, you first need to get inspired from something that you can write about.

Inspiring yourself from your best interests and hobbies can change your mood and help you untie yourself from a mental block.

There is no greater joy than knowing that your words can inspire others. And inspiration is the first stage of this process. 🙂
