What do you do to get inspiration for blogging?
Sometimes we need to step back from the screen and remind ourselves what real life is all about. I’ve just viewed this amazing video I found a few months back and realised it was worth sharing with you.
I’ve been amazingly busy recently working on a big project to launch a new product which has meant learning many new systems (more about this later). This helped me put things into perspective.
View this on full screen and let me know what you think and let me know where you get your inspiration for blogging from.
Enjoy 🙂

Thanks for commenting – I gather you know my partner Judy, which is how you found me perhaps.
Nice to get a visitor from France.

April 23, 2012 at 10:41 amThanks Den – there is nothing like getting a few lungfuls of fresh air and spending time away from the hustle and bustle of towns and cities.

April 20, 2012 at 4:38 pmAndy, I’ve just looked at the inspiration video again and I thought of our conversation and all the help you gave me this morning …. when you are working on the thrust of one another in perfect harmony, like bloggers do, you find your flow and can achieve breath-taking results.
Thank you so much
Ali

April 20, 2012 at 10:33 pmThey say one way of expressing oneself is through writing. Writer has the advantage of releasing one self’s happiness, anxiousness and whatever feeling he or she may have.
Andy Britnell says
April 23, 2012 at 10:38 amI agree Becca – self expression through writing can be very useful in dealing with our emotions and putting us into a better state of mind.

April 22, 2012 at 9:07 amI have to say this almost makes me want to stop blogging and go outside all day long. Enjoy everything the world has for me!
Andy Britnell says
April 23, 2012 at 10:32 amAnd sometimes that’s just what you need to recharge your batteries. We can’t blog all day and every day – your writing will get jaded and flat. Thanks for dropping in Elena

Steve says
April 27, 2012 at 12:38 amThis sure makes you think more about the world and the fact that we should appreciate it more.

May 2, 2012 at 8:29 amDoing the same thing every day is such a boring job but going to nature is always stress-relief. Nice video, I feel that I went to that dimension too. Thanks for sharing 🙂

May 27, 2012 at 7:07 amThe main thing that drives blogger is inspiration. And there may be different things that might inspire you.
Thanks for sharing the thought along with the video as well.

June 7, 2012 at 4:52 pmVery neat video! It’s easy to become consumed by things that don’t necessarily matter in life and forget about the simple things in life that can bring joy. All of that was portrayed here in this video 🙂

This is an amazing video. One always needs an inspiration for writing. Simple things in life can give you great joy and inspiration. There is nothing that nature cannot heal.

November 24, 2012 at 2:51 amThanks for sharing this, Andy. I took action based on the coffee cup picture you’ve shared on your Facebook page and then I looked into your blog to see if I could find something interesting. And indeed I did. Enjoying a steaming hot cup of coffee and watching this video must be one of the highlights of my day! All because of you! Thanks again!
