🤚STOP DOING THIS! The inner critic involves a judgment of the creative process and a possible halting of all creativity. Check in with how you are talking to others about your creative process. What are the words and tone you are using? The following are ways to recognize how the inner critic is manifesting itself in your creative practice. Judgment – What words do you use when you describe your creative work? Reluctance – Are you hesitant to discuss your creative practice/work? Procrastination – Do you have difficulty starting or finishing your creative work? Feedback – How do you respond to compliments and criticism? Did you recognize any of these, what do your words sound like? Do they include any like the ones on the list below? All of these ways you react are signals as to why you have difficulty being a confident artist. Tell me which one of the above four (judgment, reluctance, procrastination, feedback) you struggle with the most. Then grab your Free workbook to start targeting that pesky inner critic. 💥⬆️Link in Bio⬆️💥 #mindsetmattersmost

I had forgotten... ...that painting was a life preserver, thrown out to me. That inner nudging. “Pick me, I’m here for you!” Always there - the constant musings of the images I could create, the collections I could put together. But I ignored that life preserver. Pushed away – “for another time when I have time” For some reason, today, I chose the life preserver. I grabbed and hung on. I floated, drifted off to elsewhere. Time became a stranger. How long have I been out here? Chores ceased to exist. 2 hours of bliss. Laughing at my mistakes. Trying again. Having fun. Nothing required, no pressure, no end goal. Thank you, life preserver. Until you beckon again. #innercritic #impostersyndrome #selfdoubt #creativeentrepreneur #fearfulcreative #FEAROFFAILURE #CREATIVEANXIETY #selfdefeatingbeliefs #selfdefeatingthoughts #anxiousartist #femalecreative #artistoninstagram #artisttools #creativebusiness #calledtobecreative #doitfortheprocess #anxiouscreative #mentalhealth #paintinganxiety #critical #creativeblocks #anxietyawareness #feelthefearanddoitanyway #perfectionist #selfconsciousartist #respectyouremotions #creativeparalysis

It's time to give it the boot! 👢 Your inner critic erodes your sense of consistency, belief in your talent, showing your work to others, marketing and selling your art. If you are functioning primarily from the inner critic belief system, you will have difficulty performing any of the tasks necessary to be a confident artist. The inner critic involves judgment of the creative process and halting of creativity. Check in with how you are talking to others about your creative process. What are the words and tone you are using? The following are ways to recognize how the inner critic is manifesting itself in your creative practice. 1)Judgment – What words do you use when you describe your creative work? 2)Reluctance – Are you hesitant to discuss your creative practice/work? 3)Procrastination – Do you have difficulty starting or finishing your creative work? 4)Feedback – How do you respond to compliments and criticism? Did you recognize any of these, what do your words sound like? Do they include any like the ones on the list? All of these ways you react are signals as to why you have difficulty being a confident artist.

Start this today... Journal your affirmations. W

Start this today... Journal your affirmations. Why you ask? 1) To silence the inner critic No matter how much we have grown and learnt there will always be traces and unexpected appearances from the inner critic. The regular habit of journaling allows us the tools to dismantle the inner critic by writing out our fears and worries and thus enabling the initiation of change. 2) To visualize your progress
When you write your affirmation down as a journal entry, you not only see it but can process it's meaning and depth. Write what it means for you on that day, in that moment and the reasons why you are where you are. 3) To grow your belief in your affirmation The more you practice writing out an affirmation, the more you can cling to your growing belief in its value. ❓❓Do you want more tools and tips to help crush your inner critic and build-up your affirmation game? ⬆️Join my private FB group (LINK IN BIO)⬆️ #mindsetmattersmost

I have to say, this mama is tired. Physically, men

I have to say, this mama is tired. Physically, mentally and emotionally. I am not sure what kind of rest I need from this summer break but maybe routine will be my "rest". Rest is ceasing to work towards a monetary end, taking a break from producing something external while feeding something internal. Connecting to our soul; that which cannot be bought or measured should be given regular time. We may not "feel" the need to stop and refuel as with eating, but we still need this intentional stopping. Rest is not merely stopping but incorporating restful activities into our routine. Affirmations offer rest for our minds, an antidote (or rest) to from the inner critic which leads to worry, fear and anxiety. Affirmation work is a key step towards accepting who we are created to be, what we are creating and our needs. When we start or continue our creative work, we need fuel to start and stay motivated. Affirmations are the key tool that will help us achieve truth about ourselves as creative to draw from. If we practice affirmation building regularly, we set in motion the automatic response when we face situations where our inner critic pops up and tries to sabotage our creative process. When practiced, it is evident that affirmations create truth which produce a mindful "rest". ⬇️Tell me in the comments⬇️ what your rest looks like as an artist or creative #rest #restisbest #restfulartist #artistrest #restforcreatives #creativeentrepreneur #fearfulcreative #creativeanxiety #calledtobecreative #createmakeshare #artistoninstagram #artisttools #artistaffirmations #AFFIRMATIONSWORK #creativecoach #coachforartists

How to Be a Successful Artist 1) Passion Fuels C

How to Be a Successful Artist 1) Passion Fuels Creativity Passion drives the bus of creativity. It may not always be present and that is okay. Being proud of your work can fuel your passion. Vocalizing pride in your work (affirmations) is key. It is important to stay focused on area of creativity for a significant amount of time. We need to have consistency to show to our audience that we are invested in our practice and we are authentic. Consistent creative practices that show your audience your commitment and
passion will stand the test of time. 2) Celebrate Your Success Marking success gives us the fuel to keep going with our creative work. If we do not look back and celebrate where we have been, we do not move forward with confidence. In addition to marking your success, you need to celebrate it as well. The way that you choose to celebrate markers along your creative journey is up to you, just as long as you do it. 3) Taking Risks Taking risks is about leaning into your strongest gifts and pushing yourself one step further. This may be a time that you must practice dismantling your inner critic if you become hesitant to “go for it”. The greater the risk, the greater the reward.
