It Is TOTALLY Up to You!
It's hard to find inspiration all the time, to see the beauty in everyday things -- but you can train yourself to do it! First -- put your phone away! Seeing, really seeing everything -- takes attention. When I go for walks in the woods or go to my garden to see what's happening I try to leave my phone home. Practice looking at things, really seeing them. Focus on the details, then look away and try to recite all the things you noticed about your subject. You can advance to drawing from memory, or sitting down and drawing what you see without looking at the paper. Trace the outline of your subject without looking at the paper. The more you practice these little acts of really seeing the beauty around you -- the more you'll appreciate and love the beauty that surrounds you. See beauty in the rocks, the shards of sea glass and the smelly seaweed, you'll thank me later -- I promise.
