Wise Words Wednesday: Uninspired

“When you’ve got nothing, the only place to go is up. When you’re feeling uninspired, you’re simply unrestrained. Try and make something stupid. Take another shot at a project you’ve done before. It doesn’t matter that you feel uninspired. When you do things anyway, the inspiration will follow.” ~ Justin David Cox, Designer

Yep, the above pics pretty much sums up how my year is going so far – lots of nose picking and lounging in bed staring at my phone. Ha! But really, 2013 is already so strange. Usually when a new year rolls around I hit the ground running on resolutions, regenerated by the prospect of a clean slate. This year, however, I am just letting the flow of everyday life carry me along, doing what I can just to make it through each day in one piece. The crazier thing is that I’m super happy about this. I’ve reached a lull where I feel utterly unmotivated and uninspired yet completely at peace with it. I’m just doing my thang, enjoying time with my fam, and focusing on just being happy. That being said, I could still go for a little inspiration right about now. I have projects to get done and very little brain power to do anything but live in the moment. Oh well.

How are you feeling in this new year? We’re already two weeks in and I still haven’t recovered from the holidays!

    I’m feeling very much the same so far in 2013. Very happy and enjoying family…. but not ‘much’ going on. I told myself I wanted to start doing all these things either again or for the first time (sewing, cooking more new meals, exercise, walking, blah blah blah) but it just isn’t happening!! Oh well, at least we’re happy, right?! Maybe 2013 doesn’t really start to rev up until February?!?? ;)

      Yeah, I’m hoping Feb will bring me some extra energy and motivation. :) Glad to know I’m not alone.

    I’m right there with you. I keep meaning to figure out some goals for this year…but I’ve been unmotivated so far. I wouldn’t say I’m in a funk, but I’m certainly less than inspired, just in general. Not sure what I can do to give myself a jolt…If you figure it out, let me know!

    I still haven’t even looked at the Christmas pics I took on my good camera, yikes! Maybe that’s where I should start? :)

      Sounds like a good start to me! Ha!
