To begin with, I derive inspiration primarily by reading and living through the feats of others. I see myself amongst these influential individuals, and I find these sources empowering. Take for example Cheryl Stayed, and her autobiographical work, Wild. A woman who goes through hell and back to find confidence in the independent person she is - through adversity and strife. One of my personal heroes.
When a friend recommend this book, I took it with trepidation. I find that inspiration from oneself is counter intuitive, and honestly I am happy to say I was mistaken. This book is riddled with prompts, activities, and quotes that had a significant impact: forcing me out of my comfort zone. Physically detailing my fears and laying them out in front of me through drawings, lists, etc eventually led me to believe that I can be my own source of inspiration.
Please pick up this book. It’s actually a lot of fun and sometimes unconventional and unique ways of exploring your heart and mind can only lead to good things!
