Music- I LOVE music!
Whenever I’m looking for inspiration music is one of the first places I look.
It’s helpful in all aspects of my career.
I can listen to people I admire sing songs I would sing, I can find new songs, as an actress I can find deferent emotions through the music, different beats will give me different dance ideas and styles, lyrics can inspire me in my day to day mood.
All in all this is by far my biggest inspiration and interest.
Some examples of music I would listen to in different situations are:
I would listen to this little girl as it inspires me how much talent there is in such a small child, I find this amazing.
I will listen to this amazing guitarist when I’m drawing or doing something I have to concentrate in, it helps me to focus.
This song is amazing; it’s on my list of “aspire to”
This song always makes me happy and energetic; I generally use it to warm up or get my body moving.
These are only a very few examples, but on my hard drive I have about 50 GB of music, and I listen to it all the time, I love discovering new and upcoming bands and styles.
I love listening to any styles form blues, to country to rock to musicals, they are all so different and a re perfect for different situations.
I also love listening to instrumental soloists, especially the piano or guitar; they can truly create a mood

OUTDOORS
Ok…so I guess your thinking..The outdoors motivates you?
The thing is, I grew up in a little town next to the sea, and to think I would always go down to the beach and sit there or try out ideas as it would be empty.
This is now one of my habits, if I am stuck with something I will take a walk anywhere, as if you TRULY look around there is inspiration everywhere!
I love just walking observing the little details on everything, I also love watching a person for a while there body language there facial expressions try and wonder what there like or what they are thinking, this is very helpful as an actress.
When I say “outdoors” what I mean is anywhere that you are not extremely familiar with like your bedroom or home as you spend hours here and you’ve seen everything, I mean places with new people and new things happening.
My favourite I have to say is somewhere quiet and intimate where there are only a few people around. It helps me to have a clear mind, and the things you observe there are less influenced by there surroundings (as opposed to a busy city street)
So if you’re ever stuck for ideas or even muddled in your personal life try it and let me know if it works for you too :)
Hi Donna, I like that your motivation is the outdoors, unfortunately it's not for me, i'm an indoors person mainly because I get lost a lot, though I do occasionally like to sit in a park with a book (as long as I know where I am) good pictures, are there any pictures of particular places you like going outside?
