Quotes For When You’re Feeling Down
10 Inspirational Quotes
To Bring Your Motivation Back to Life
Hello everyone!
Today’s post was inspired by a bit of writer’s block that I was experiencing on my part. I have a slew of ideas that I wanted to explore and I have them listed in a little notebook I keep, but nothing really struck me today as something I wanted to write about.
Creative burn-out happens to everyone – And for me, if I don’t feel like engaging with that side of me – But am forced to do it, it fills me with dread and hate for a passion I definitely should not be feeling those emotions about.
Whenever I’m feeling this way, I always read a list of poems and quotes I have compiled over the years in a journal that I keep. Today, I hope to share some of these quotes with you so that if you’re not feeling 100% today, I hope these words can make you feel a little bit better.
If a quote has originated from a book that i’m aware of, I have also included a link to that book after the source’s name – Just in case you are interested in their writing.
