My late grandmother. She was an activist and a feminist in a quiet way. She was also a teacher, a painter and a musician. And a farmer. And a gardener.
Pretty much anyone that I find really creative that managed to show his work to the public. And people that managed to find an unconventional job that they love. A youtuber can be a good example. There are tons of types of channels that create interesting content and it’s inspiring to see them do what they love and find people that enjoy it.
I use music in a similar way. I play music that matches my mood and slowly shift the genre to bring me to the mood I would rather be in. For example, when I’m angry, I will blast Slipknot and progress slowly from that to Al Jarreau. 😁
It’s a progression that looks something like: Slipknot to Korn to Megadeth to Bob Dylan to Al Jarreau. 🙃
Loading...
That’s a big jump from Megadeth to Dylan! Slipknot is my go-to band for when I need to get fired up 😀
Loading...
Cool! I make myself laugh when I’m wearing my earbuds and blasting Slipknot while i’m on public transit. I know that the passengers around me can hear it. And, I just sit there looking like an innocent old lady. 😂
I can go from Megadeth to Bob Dylan because Dave and Bob’s voices. 🙃

Lol, I must try that one day…inflict Slipknot on other train passengers 🙂

God inspires me! Every time i am down, he gives me hope and pulls me up.
I like that word xD, he’s just awesome and there aren’t enough words to describe his awesomeness 😃

I’m inspiring myself today. Yesterday your question was about how much time we spend working on a dream. Today, I am hitting the ground running. Sure, I’m terrified, but I’m doing it.
Babies are pure and don’t have any preconceived notion of who one should be. They smile because it’s natural and they cry when they’re upset. I love their authenticity.

Music, nature, and unique nouns in general. Today, the word “imperial” stuck out to me and I wrote a post about it. Totally random lol
My daughter is an inspiration to me. She has been through so much in her life and has persevered. She continues to work through difficulties today with 2 children that have an extremely painful, chronic, degenerative, disease that currently has no known cure. She has been abreast of the research relating to the disease in order to advocate for the best care for her children. And, even with the children frequently being in and out of the hospital, she is still there for all of her 6 children. She home schools them (they are all highly intelligent), makes dates with each child individually to give them her devoted attention, she and her husband arrange fun family outings at least once a month. All the while doing the mom thing of doing the shopping and errands to keep the household running smooth; making sure the kids have a balanced, healthy diet; making sure the house is clean and the laundry done, taking each child to their appointments. She also attends to the families’ spiritual needs taking them to their place of worship every week. She also schedules play dates with their friends and extra-curricular activities to keep a healthy balance to the homeschooling. She encourages her children to work on their aspirations. She is very attentive to her relationship with her husband. They go on dates once a week to focus on each other. She makes time for family and friends by checking in on each one frequently and getting together with each one often. On top of all that, she makes time for pursuing her own dreams, philanthropy, and political activism. To do all of this, she is very resourceful, determined, and dedicated even through her own health issues. She is such a good example for her children that the 3 older ones have already made their own great accomplishments. The 17 year old is certified in first aid and CPR. She is also a published author with a growing audience. The 15 year old had a valid food handler’s card. She is also an award winning painter and a budding culinary artist. The 10 year old is also an award winner painter and a budding comedian. All three of them are budding entrepreneurs who have made a big impression at every Children’s Entrepreneur Fair they have attended.
Oh, crud, I almost forgot. My daughter is also employed part-time at a birthing center as their contracted supply purchaser, inventory manager, security technician, plumber, electrician, maintenance technician, equipment mechanic, promotions technician, ‘stage’ hand, building renovation technician, courier, construction consultant, and contractor for large jobs. If anyone were to be nominated as a superwoman, she would be the top contender.
Thank you 💖 Few people are aware of all that she does. She’s not one to toot her own horn. And, where ever possible, she likes to do things anonymously.

Honest people who live out their Christian lives admitting real struggles, addictions, etc. and sharing with others
Severe PTSD, anxiety and depression with psychosis. I’m just learning how to find my own acceptance. In a way I suppose it is a way for me to find peace in accepting and “coming out” with my illness.
Loading...
That must be very tough. What triggered them? What was the trauma?
Loading...
Many things are triggers. However, I have grown to be very resilient over the years when it comes to identifying every one. What I have learned is that my body and my mind do alert me. I tend to become very sensitive both physically and mentally. It’s the fight or flight response. I don’t shake with fear anymore but at times I do overthink and analyze after shaking off the initial “freeze,” and rush of panic and/or fear.
As for the trauma, I don’t even know where to start!

Music, my mum, small acts of kindness and my dog!! 😄
He’s just so happy and carefree all the time, not a care in the world! Always a bundle of energy or cuddles. I can learn a lot from him ☺️
Loading...
He’s just always such a bright, happy and exuberant being! Always has a smile on his puppy face, always has the energy to take me for a run, always ready for a cuddle at all times. His positivity just radiates from him and is enough to lift my spirits. I can definitely learn a lot from him… 🙂

Yes, we can learn so much from this and he is just a dog. Can you imagine how humanity would be if all of us are like this?

Oh my, what a wonderful world. I have hope for our humanity ☺️💖

By the way! I’m not normally one to advertise, but I’ve just uploaded a blog post on developing self-compassion and it would mean so much if you or anyone else could take a look at it! I only started my blog 3 days ago but I really want to get the message across of building positivity around mental illness, and tearing down the stigma we’ve surrounded it with. I hope to make a difference in people’s lives, especially in our youth. It’s just such a dear topic close to my heart. Thank you so much for your time ❤️ hope you are doing well!!!

Sure, I’ll take a look. Good luck with your blog!

I am not an overly kind person, so when I see a kindness being done, it inspires me to be better.
Maybe it was that time I gave someone my car. It was only a couple years old and I didn’t ask for money. Maybe its those times when I let people talk and I just listen? But I honestly don’t know.
Loading...
That’s awesome!
Loading...
Thanks, I don’t like to dwell on that kind of thing. What about you? What was the nicest thing you’ve ever done?
Loading...
I don’t know if it’s the nicest, but I gave a two hours ride to someone I didn’t know for free.
Music is my biggest inspiration. Alternative the most of all.
Awesome! I too put some music in the background when I’m writing.
I’m corny, but kindness inspires me the most. Witnessing it or being part of it doesn’t matter, it inspires me to hope.
I think witnessing or being part of some kindness can create hope for us and for humanity.
Plus it makes it all seem worthwhile. Thanks for listening. Have a great day.
Have an awesome day you too! 🙂

She did so many things! She is indeed a model to follow.

I totally agree with you. Watching people that do what they love can be so inspiring.
Agree
Music. Changes my mood in a heartbeat. High-energy metal fires me up, Pink Floyd calms me down.
It’s awesome that you know what kind of music you need to change your mood for whatever you need to do. Great “hack”!

Fear it’s always there. We just need to find our strength to overcome it! Congratulations and keep up the good work! 😀
Music, God, Babies, books, coffee, writing, hiking and family
Great list! How babies inspire you?
Babies are pure and don’t have any preconceived notion of who one should be. They smile because it’s natural and they cry when they’re upset. I love their authenticity.
Music, nature, and unique nouns in general. Today, the word “imperial” stuck out to me and I wrote a post about it. Totally random lol
I wouldn’t say random. I’d say it’s unique 😀
Ah huh moments; quotes, nature’s natural environment, laughter, children, love, music, the arts, rain, cool breeze, bright colors, clean open space
When we really look around, we can find lots of inspiring things 🙂
Absolutely:)!!

How the hell she manages to do all of that? She must have some time extender magic machine.
She’s very good at time management, prioritizing, and juggling. 💕
What a list!!! She is now my hero too! It’s amazing what she accomplished and the amount of work she puts in every day! All my respects to her!

It takes lots of courage to share things. What they do can be indeed very inspiring.
Achieving my dreams, lame I know.
Achieving your dreams is never lame. What are your dreams?
Write and publish a book. One day!
That’s awesome! Have you started writing it?
Yes and no. I have a few ideas that I write on, so something is complete.
You’re on your way there!
Life…
Awesome!
I inspire myself! My past, present and future.
And the goodness I see in my family is my biggest motivation
Some of the best inspirations out there!
Indeed!
I get inspired a lot by people pursuing their dreams no matter how hard it might seem. That makes me believe I can do it too.
I believe color inspires me. Bright colors make me smile and make me feel calm and happy. I use colors to help cope with my mental illness.
That’s a very interesting strategy! What’s your mental illness?
Severe PTSD, anxiety and depression with psychosis. I’m just learning how to find my own acceptance. In a way I suppose it is a way for me to find peace in accepting and “coming out” with my illness.
