Motivation is not something you should learn or you can buy. Everyone struggles with staying motivated and reaching their goals. The reality is that refocusing, changing, or making a new start on something, no matter how small, is a big deal. But it's not impossible. With the right approach, you can definitely do it. Working on a new goal could be really fun and enjoyable. There are many ways how you can get inspired. You can take advantage of a daily walk, the music your listening to, a person, a memory etc etc... Brainstorming techniques are also really helpful way to get inspired and develop your goal. When a good brainstorming session ends there are lots of plans coming up. Ideas are just on their way.

This exercise helps writers to gather their thoughts and ideas before they begin writing a paper or other document. The end result of brainstorming should be lists of words or phrases that are somehow related in the writer's mind. These lists may be helpful in the preliminary writing process. Here are some guidelines for this type of invention:

Write it Down
When you got something you think could be a great story or just a great start, write it down. Make sure that always there are some papers around you and pencils so you can draw some sketches or just write in a few words that what you feeling.

Assume that no word is self-explanatory
Continue to focus on one topic word until you cannot describe it with any further detail. In other words, take a deeper look at an individual or minute part of a larger whole.

Run with your ideas
When a random idea pops into your head, make your best to understand it! Explore its angles and consider the different possibilities. Perhaps the biggest difference between creative thinkers and constrained thinkers is that constrained thinkers prematurely judge their novel ideas as silly or stupid, instead of allowing the creative seed to grow within them.

Keep going, even if you come across a good idea near the beginning of the brain storm session; as other ideas that are just as good - or even better - may come along.

Brainstorming can be difficult during your first few sessions, but don't give up! If it doesn't work, try again.

Try, as illustrated above, using sticky notes. Every time you think of something -ANYTHING!- write it down and stick it up. It could come back around to be useful.

Embrace all the important words or words/phrases that mostly describes your goal, your new art style, the new painting ideas etc etc. Start working on the chosen medium!
