Looking for a quick bit of inspiration? Visit a lifestyle different than your own.
Have you noticed Abercrombie and Fitch models rarely get their pictures taken while driving to work, sitting in their cubicle or cooking dinner for their kids? Those scenarios aren’t exactly inspiring. Instead, they’re photographed playing polo, splashing water on each other and taking off all their clothes (for some reason). Abercrombie and Fitch models are all about a lifestyle that A&F is trying to sell you through their clothes.
There’s a reason you want to buy certain products at the mall. They “promise” you a lifestyle cooler than your own. But buying their clothes or product won’t get you that lifestyle. Living that lifestyle will get you that lifestyle.
So if you’re in need of a bit of inspiration, go live the life of a model for a day. Cruise by the ocean with your windows down. Go play polo with some friends. Go long boarding. Get in a gasoline fight with some friends.
Visit the lifestyle for a couple hours. You’ll feel like an urban hipster in no time and be inspired to create.

Gasoline fight? That sounds dangerous…

I see… As you can probably tell, I’m not very cultured.

You need to see Zoolander, Napoleon Dynamite, Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail, and the Harry Potter movies…and you’ll be fine for a while. :-P
