One of the ways I like to feel is inspired. I feel it in my heart center the most, but often get goosebumps and feel “zhoozhy” all over.

I can get this feeling from a beautiful vista, the smell of pine sap on a warm day, music, Super Bowl ads, stories of overcoming hardship, Olympics medal ceremonies — I’m kind of open to all forms of getting my zhoozh on.

One thing that’s cool about knowing this about myself is that when I feel blah, I can deliberately invite in something inspiring to make me feel better. For instance, I recently created a document called “Inspiration” where I copied dozens of the quotes I’ve curated over the years. It felt good revisiting them and now I can simply open and read that file and I know it will light me up inside.

I’ve made that document sharable; click here to read it or download your own copy.

What helps you feel a spark when you’re down or blah? Is there a quote or piece of writing that can always lift you up? Please share by replying to this email and I’ll add it to the download!
