I'd rather call what you're describing "enlightenment" instead of calling it "epiphany". Temporary or not, doesn' really make a difference.

Keep on following your inspiration. When it happens, never let the positive state go. Or at least try to not let it intentionally go. That's what I try to do when I feel like this. There are so many little things that are obscured by stupid worries everyday. You can't enjoy life if you're too much used to negativeness. Negativeness is a shiny trap. Your ego must be nurtured and taken care of. It's just that is a lot easier to come back to negative feelings whenever something goes wrong. Being miserable doesn't require a constant work. It's very natural most of the times. And sadly, very "human". It takes efforts to keep on thinking positive when there's a change of tide.
