How to Get Out of a Blogging Rut

Have any of you ever reached a point with blogging (or other things in general, perhaps work or in your relationship) where you feel like you're in a rut? Sometimes I feel completely uninspired and struggle to come up with content that I feel is good enough to share with an audience. As much as my blog is an outlet to share my thoughts with all of you, it's just as much a place for me to write for myself and to grow as a blogger and person.

Lately, you may have noticed that I have been sharing less blog posts compared to my typical three-a-week that I usually share. Part of the reason is I've been busy with travel, but the other part is I've had some difficulty with writing lately. The last thing I want is to share stale or forced content with you all so I decided to do a little soul-searching.

Today I'm sharing a few tips on how to get out of your blogging rut which I'm personally using right now.

1. Explore your city. As much as I love travelling and visiting new cities, I love to explore my own. When I feel myself getting into too much of a routine with my blog, I like to try out new restaurants, coffee shops and areas around my city that I've never been to before. Not only does it inspire my writing, I can usually create a fantastic guide of the places I visited.

2. Gain inspiration from fellow bloggers. I am inspired by blogs that I follow on a daily basis. Many times I will be reading one of my favourite blogs and it will trigger an idea for a blog post

Some blogs and posts that have inspired some of my recent work are as follows:
Paulina, creator of Shenska,  inspired me to write today's post after reading her blog post on branding yourself (thanks babe!).

Alexandra, creator of Life by Lex, inspired me to create my own 'Week in the Life of a Blogger' post after reading her day in the life post (see here).

3. Pick up some new magazines in and out of your niche. As much as I enjoy reading the newest fashion magazines to gain inspiration, I love reading magazines outside of my fashion niche. Home decor is another passion of mine and I would love to share more on the subject. So if I feel a bit stale with content, I'll pick up a home magazine for some inspiration.

4. Take a blogging break. If you've tried several things to get yourself out of your blogging rut and you just can't get out, it may be a good time to take a break. You never want to get so uninspired with blogging that you start to resent it. If you're getting to this point you may be suffering from blogger burn out and could benefit from a little break. Check out my previous post on blogger burn out here and tips on preventing it here.
