Encourage Inspiration is a series of posts dedicated to sharing practices that help foster creativity & inspiration.

Watching creative movies is a fun way to get inspired.They can take you on nearly fully-immersive experiences, into worlds you would’ve never imagined. Sometimes a good relaxing movie session is just the creative refresh you need.

Here are a few of my favorite movies to watch when I need some inspiration, share yours in the comments!

Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

This has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s just great all around. The soundtrack is amazing, the art direction is amazing. Definitely one of the easiest movies to get inspired by.

Alice In Wonderland

A classic all around. My first introduction to mystic, esoteric wisdom. Pay close attention to this movie, and you’ll find plenty of divine inspiration. =)

I <3 Huckabee’s

This is another happy movie. I always feel great after watching it. Lots of great actors, and an amazing story/message. Can’t go wrong with this one.

The Fountain

The fountain gets you thinking about so many things! This one isn’t easy for people who haven’t experienced super deep movies, but I suggest it for everyone! You’ll come away from it feeling so lifted up on a soul level, it’s not even funny.

If you have a few extra dollars to spend (who doesn’t, lol), head on over to your favorite art store, and pick out some new inspiring artwork for your creative area. Framing is a bit more expensive, but I feel it’s always worth it.

Here are some of my favorite places to get inspiring artwork:

• Joshua Davis
• James White
• Evgeny Kiselev
• George Smith
• DeviantPrints

Once you are surrounded with stuff you find inspiring, its hard not to get creative!
