INSPIRATION

It's what gets us motivated and started. The important thing is to know where to find it. I'll share with you the things that make me want to go wild.

  1. good music - and I mean GOOD music. The ambitious kind. Classic and jazz is great, but the best of all is: music from the childhood. Nothing gets you on your two feet better than songs you danced to as a kid. Seriously.
  2. coffee... - need I say more? OK.: some chocolate only makes it better!
  3. weather - this is a country where good weather is quite rare. I've heard we're the only place in the world that shows air pressure on weather reports. So I say: if you wake up and feel it could be a good day to be active: don't wait for your feet to jump out of bed for you.
  4. food - you can either buy it or make your own dish... both can be a good idea. I've been told that a single grape can give you lots of energy. I agree. Fruits and vegetables are my favorite energizers. And if you eat good you feel good. But don't eat too much! Remember that after big meals your blood flows in the brain-stomach direction! You don't want to feel sleepy, now do ya? ;)
  5. sports - ...or simple walks even :) go out and, do some exercise and breathe. An hour walk can be a good time to observe the people around you... and come up with a genius plan... hehe...
  6. memories - come on, all of us have had unique moments in our lives... would it really hurt to do a "remake"? Sure, the sequels are never as good as the first part... but you can always change some small elements... and you're ready to go! How to manipulate ideas (with an example of the new - not necessarily better - version of 'Charades'):
    • change an element (if you use time limits: set a time minimum)
    • change the setting/instruments (instead of showing with hands or writing/drawing with pens: use flowers)
    • reverse something (only one person is guessing: the rest is showing)
    • scramble two elements (first start showing something, then decide what the topic is)
    • add an element (if the person guesses before the time minimum - all the rest has to do push-ups)
    • omit an element (don't choose who's supposed to guess: someone start doing something and the last person to join in - has to guess what the hell is going on)
    • ...?...
  7. friends and/or family - in short: brainstorming! And - one who might have an idea for fun may find people to join!
  8. strangers - who knows!
  9. love - ....mmmh....
If you have any other ideas.... please share! :)
