Listen to what you say to yourself. Do you talk to yourself like an abusive lover? It’s time to believe in yourself and have a friendlier relationship with yourself. Talk to yourself like your best friend. Take pride in your accomplishments, acknowledge your strengths. Together you can take risks, stretch and gain confidence.
We often convince ourselves that our limits are immutable. NOT TRUE! Self-talk in the form of justification for non-action is dangerous. Re-frame the conversation you are having with yourself.
As artists we are highly emotional. That that is a good thing unless emotions are running your life. HTT welcomes Julie-Anne Black to share some tools to help manage our emotions and help us avoid being paralysed by emotions.
Julie-Anne Black shows you a great trick to help you eliminate anxiety about a future event any time any where. When anxiety is created from a fear about a specific future event, it is also your unconscious mind tapping you on the shoulder to get you to focus on how you want things to turn out. By calling to mind the feelings and thoughts you will have after the successful completion of the future event you can eliminate the present anxiety.
The idea of the starving artist is an insidious lie that permeates the arts. It’s time we take action against this two-faced daemon. It’s time to be out in the world as the abundant artist.
