I think just telling yourself that you are open to inspiration is what does it. And when you notice something and allow it to propagate in your mind, then it becomes easier the next time until eventually, you can't do a thing without wanting to take notes so you don't forget.

A song lyric, an idea from an overheard conversation, an advert on the side of a bus, something your kid said.

There are ideas everywhere if we just open our eyes to them. They can't all be Eureka! Moments but the more you're open to them, the more you'll have.

"Whether it’s through a walk, a conversation, or a new environment, stepping into the unknown often leads to those “aha” moments that can change everything." - exactly. Personally, I have always felt a shift in surroundings can create a change in mindset, which can be a boon for creativity!

Agreed! A change in surroundings helps a lot! Bonus points if you get more knowledge about something new too, that opens horizons! That’s why traveling is also good to unblock, sometimes :)

Fully agree with this post. Sometimes it necessary that someone else put it on writing to adjust some ideas that we have in our head dispersed. Thanks Francisca for the post.
