Lately, I've been having severe writer's block and I have no idea why.
Maybe it's because finals week and moving out of college made me exhausted both mentally and physically. Not to mention the stressors of freshman year have certainly taken a toll on me in general.
And I am sure that I am not the only one.
I am so incredibly thankful to be apart of the odysseys community and to have this opportunity to write about what I care about. But sometimes I feel like I write about topics that I am not passionate about in order to just have an article in.
But there are also many things you can do to help you feel more inspired when you feel like you have nothing to write about.
Take a Break From Writing

The truth is, if you're feeling uninspired, take a break. This will allow you to refresh your mind for new ideas to flow in and out of your brain.
Go Outside

Lately, I've been spending quite a lot of time outside and grounding myself. And I've been feeling quite a lot better about feeling so uninspired to write.
Listen to Music

Listening to music lyrics can allow you to find something that you relate too. Likewise, you can try to listen to a new artist in order to get some new content to inspire you to write.
Take a Trip

Go somewhere. Go anywhere. A trip doesn't have to be to a far away destination for it to inspire you.
Spend Time With People

The memories you make with friends certainly make for great stories that you can write about. Not to mention, your friends are a great source of inspiration.
