Show Notes
What do you think of yourself?
What do you think about what you create in terms of your art? How do you talk to yourself?
I am going to bet that some of the things that you think about yourself, and your creativity are not very positive. There is a distinction between being aware of our flaws and being dictated by them and seeing them as a focal point.
When we perceive ourselves from a negative viewpoint, then we create a list of things about ourselves that we need to fix. And fixing anything takes time and energy. The same time and energy that could be better utilised elsewhere.

In this week’s episode I speak about how lucky we are to be artists. We can be told about a lot of negative aspects of being an artist but the positives far outweigh the negatives. If you are an artist, you are one of the lucky ones!
In this week’s episode I speak about using the beginning of a new year in a totally different way to how we are all told to begin it. Instead of rushing into action on your goals how about using the time to daydream about your new ideas and allow time for creative incubation.
In this week’s episode I speak about the sentiments behind the statement artists often hear , which is. “I could do that” and how it can lean into devaluing the work of an artist and the art itself.
In this week’s episode I ask the question, are you a creative butterfly? Do you flit from one new idea to the next but never see any single one of them through to the end? We take a look at how we can use constraint as a way of insuring we learn to see some projects through to completion.
