Get an Imagination!

There are lots of things that influence Imagination this is called Inspiration. You need inspiration to do more than just use your imagination. You may be inspired to start exercising because your friend is getting the results they want. You may be inspired to donate time to a helpful organization because you have seen what good it brings to the community, or you may be inspired to write a lens because you read one that you thought was inspiring! These examples are here to remind you that though you may have a hard time imagining things, inspiration is everywhere and you know how to use it! Now using your inspiration may be easy but what about finding it? Be careful it hides!(sometimes right in front of your nose!)

Inspiration can be found anywhere but sometimes you need the tools to look for it. Remember back to when you were little... a circle with sticks coming out of it was your dad. Back then shapes could mean anything. here is an exercise that will help your imagination. go out side and stare at the clouds, in the folds in fabric, in the shadows on the wall, in the freckles on your skin, even in the leftovers on your plate! Look for shapes. When you find one tell me what it looks like to you? Sometimes if you relax and stop focusing you can see inspiring shapes almost pop out at you!

There are thousands of inspiring books in this world and in each one there is a million ideas to start up your imagination. Here is an idea to get you started... After you read a book you really enjoy try picking a point in the book that really interested you and change the story. Create an alternate ending! Or you can take your favorite character and make up a new story to be the star of. Here is one of my favorite books "The last of the really great whangdoodles " By Julie Andrews Edwards. This book is a great inspiration because of its need for the reader to use their imagination to participate. If you what to know more read the book!

Congratulations! You have started to use your imagination!!! You are now on your way to new and exciting worlds! Make sure you use your new found ability often or it will get fat and lazy!(just kidding! but it works better the more you use it!)
