Monday's motivation turned into a Tuesday post... I didn't turn on any tunes today, rather I researched blogs and websites that I have never looked at before in search of some fresh inspiration. When I stumbled upon the above list of 33 ways to stay creative, I realized these ways to kick creativity into high gear are already my go-to routines for keeping my thoughts new and innovative. Nothing is original anymore, rather everything has been done and you just have to find a new way to present this information in a way that captures people's attention and ignites new ideas...

My routine for keeping creative //

:: keep a daily planner in my purse
:: a notebooke and pen available at all times
:: type ideas/titles/sayings in my iPhone 
:: use Pinterest regularly
:: scour other websites for relative content 
:: give myself time to unwind/recharge
:: use breathing exercises 
:: read a book rather than use the computer
:: seek advice from other professionals 
:: always being open to new opportunities
:: when inspired i take advantage and create new looks with 
pieces from my wardrobe i haven't worn in a while or have grown
 tired of instead of trying to shop for new items  - this usually ignites other ideas
:: go to starbucks - seriously, i'm not sure if it's because their coffee + cup make me happy or the souroundings of a comforting place... but starbucks can sometimes do the trick!
:: read articles/magazines/websites
:: call my family back home
:: go for walks
:: stay busy
