Today I am working on a project for a new client. You get all of those “new client” jitters. You want to prove yourself, please them. But in order to do my best work, I have to hush those voices. I am at my best when I am relaxed and inspired.
How do you get inspired? I never begin writing anything, no matter how petty, until after I say a prayer. This is a ritual I never shared until now. I pray for God to use me and bless my work. Then I plug in my iPod, listen to tunes in line with the vibe I am trying to create and just float … I let the words and images come to me. And before I know it my fingertips are moving over my keyboard.
No matter what we do, it’s important for us all to be inspired from time to time. Whether it’s a beautiful tree outside your window, the laughter of your spouse or just the feel of a hot shower after a long day – we need that moment. A second of rejuvenation to gather our thoughts can work wonders. How do you get in the mood for work? Share, discuss and enlighten.
And a special shout out to
