Inspiration Has Job SecurityInspiration Has Job Security, because when you are inspired life is easy and enjoyable, but some days you definitely are not inspired. You feel disconnected. You're tired, I want to stay in bed. You could decide not to do anything today, but let's discuss the options. You are not connecting to anything inside you. Your spirit is distracted. So let's look around for inspiration. Some days you could go outside. Once there you can focus on the miracles happening every day in the nature around you. If your kids are little you can have slug races. But the weather is cold and overcast, so it is difficult to get motivated in that direction. Where is inspiration? You could create something. Don't feel a strong tug in that direction either? Creativity without passion is like driving a car without the steering wheel. You can choose to read a motivational book or article. That can be great because it tickles your spirit and connects you to new feelings. Your next option is your journal. Perhaps there is something on your mind that is standing in the doorway to your spirit. Often when you begin to write, those things that have been blocking your focus appear on the page. Once you have written it down the blockage is open and you can return refreshed and inspired. 
There is another option. Meditation may be the best choice today. By concentrating on breathing and relaxing your mind can come into focus. You can rest your brain and let go of the tension. Once you are relaxed you may be able take a walk to see what's standing in your way. You may even become inspired when you are done. Any number of things could be blocking you. The stack of bills you need to take care of, possibly someone you love is in pain and you are unable to fix it. Or perhaps you put the pressure on yourself when you have some kind of deadline. You also think about your children and their various needs. You can't do anything about that, either. Perhaps it's a money issue. Sit back and make myself comfortable and begin to breathe into your belly. Then we'll see where your mind wants to go.
What happened when you truly relaxed? Did you float or sink into your chair. Did you feel warm, safe, and comfortable? Did you enter darkness like a cave, or were you drawn into the light? It is possible to be led on a journey like experience through the anxieties and confusions of your life. You may see a path open up and be able to visualize a solution. You may meet someone to guide you. It is also possible you could experience nothing. But usually you will feel relaxed and refreshed when you are finished. Take inspiration from your experience. If you were shown a new path follow it. It is a gift of inspiration from God. By clicking on
