But here’s the scoop: Inspiration, intuition and divine guidance come to us through our right brain. We can’t hear the right brain, though, when the left brain is chattering along. This is why meditation is so essential. The process of meditating actually helps rewire the brain to be less reactive, quiets the left brain, and integrates both halves.

Some artists keep an inspiration journal so that they can track all their ideas and pull up one to focus on when they are ready to create. Are you doing that, too? If so, you can flip through the journal and pick the ones that speak to you.
