The first step to getting unstuck.
Years ago when I was working as an illustrator, I got hired for what I thought was the best gig I'd ever had. It was the gig I'd been working towards for most of my career.
But during the job, I felt nothing but frustration, angst, stress, and annoyance. Afterward, when I actually saw the product I had worked so hard on, I felt defeated. I was supposed to feel proud and excited about this work but all I felt was annoyed and completely burnt out.
The very simple equation to feeling good.
Have you ever noticed that when you are doing things you love, working towards a goal that is meaningful, or contributing to the greater good it just FEELS AMAZING? And when you are neglecting yourself, your dreams, or working towards something that is not meaningful to you, you feel bad? You may even get depressed, angry, or blame yourself.
Our biology has evolved to SHOW US HOW TO FEEL GOOD.
The FLOW research also backs this up.
How our SHADOW can keep us from sharing our gifts and creativity
How our SHADOW can keep us from sharing our gifts and creativity…
You may have heard about shadow work but what is it really and how does it affect our creativity and art business?
Let me share this example that I uncovered in my own life recently.
On being SEEN
Allowing yourself to be seen for who you actually are is one of the hardest journeys you’ll ever go on, but the most rewarding.
Many of us wonder why people don’t see us for who we are or our art for what it is, but we are subconsciously avoiding being seen by not sharing what we feel are our shadow sides or timidly putting ourselves out there.
But when you boldly step into who you are, you become magnetic. People are drawn to the unique essence that is inside you and they feel it in your art work.
Are you a multi-passionate creative having trouble focusing?
Do you struggle with resistance when you think about creating?
Resistance many times is a conflict between your natural flow and what the mind is obsessing over.
