At some point in your life, you stumble off the path.  There will be a time where we feel uninspired or in a rut and can’t seem to focus on the things we love to do such as dancing.  In this article, I want to share with you some tips that you can apply to potentially find that spark of inspiration.

 

List All The Things You Love To Do

Make a list of the things you like to do. There are things that you are passionate about, that make you come alive, that make you smile, and that makes you light up.  List these things and do them.  Whether this is dancing, playing a musical instrument, or yoga. Make sure you get in touch with the inner child in you and do them.  Once you start doing these activities, you will start to feel more alive and playful and be inspired.

 

Explore A New Hobby

            Another great way to be inspired is to explore a new hobby.  Develop your curiosity and explore a new hobby along the way.  Learning something new can develop a newfound inspiration.  Look into other dance styles and try to learn them.  If you have been doing freestyle dancing, get out of your comfort zone and learn the more traditional and older dance styles.  YouTube Videos, blogs, and articles are some of the great ways of exploring new hobbies.  Once you find what you are curious about, try them out.

 

Be One with Nature

            Being out with nature is another great way of how to get inspired.  Get out of the busy city streets and go out in nature.  Listen to the whistling winds, singing birds, flowing rivers, and scurrying squirrels.  Just by slowing your life pace down, you will be able to clear your mind with all the things you have to juggle daily.  Spending some quiet time alone can potentially bring inspiration to you.

 

Listen To Podcast Or Music

            When you are out with nature and would listen to a podcast or music, this is a great way to really focus on what you are listening to.  Discover new music and listen to the lyrics and try to comprehend what the song actually means.  Sometimes this sparks curiosity and helps you be inspired of doing something.  One of my favorites are listening to a Podcast while walking or running.

 

Watch YouTube Videos

            In today’s world, instructional or how-to videos are incorporated into our daily lives.  There are many times that I ask YouTube how to do a certain dance.  99.9% of the time someone has already made an instructional video about it.  Watching and learning from someone on YouTube is a great way of being inspired for that next dance move.

 

Relax And Enjoy The Ride

            The last tip in this guide is to relax and enjoy the ride.  You can’t force inspiration to happen, but you can enjoy the ride along the way.  At the end of the day, you have to enjoy what you are doing.  Dancing can be taxing to your body but if you enjoy the ride along the way, this can become an easier endeavor.
