Reframing Your Way to Creative Success - Part 1

"It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves." - Carl Jung.  Reframing is a valuable cognitive tool that I employ on a regular basis.  Join me for part one of this two part episode that takes a closer look at what it means to leverage the technique of reframing and apply it to your artistic practice. The ability to see things from different perspectives is an integral part of being a Creative! 

Mistakes Are Your Truest Friends

Mistakes are integral to a creative's growth. There is an artistry to seeing and embracing our "failures", big or small.  In this episode, I talk about making friends mistakes and acknowledging their value in our artist journey.  We also touch on some legendary people who lead by example in this area, and even take a look at a creative discipline that is rooted in the idea of celebrating mishaps.

You WILL Find Your Tribe

Yes, we are creatives, but we are also human. It's natural to want people to like our art or approve of what it is we are doing. It's important to acknowledge that scared voice, but then we need to look inside for a deeper guidance. There you will find your authentic style and from that point, you won't have to worry anymore about finding your tribe.  Listen as I explain why.

Thoughts on Food and Food for Thought

In addition to establishing a solid creative environment, one of the reasons that we want to buy land is so that we can grow our own food. In this episode, I focus a bit more on our path to owning land and some of the motivation behind our desire to homestead.  I also touch on our current vision for integrating creativity and permaculture.

Exploring Our Creativity

The word creativity can mean different things to different people. In this episode, I walk you through some of my own artist journey (as well as the myriad of disciplines I have dabbled in) with the intent of inspiring you to spread your own creative wings.  There are endless way to bring creativity into your life so let's explore some!

Crystal, Clear on Trees

This episode was inspired by one of my followers and her heartfelt interest in our plans for Creative Land.  I give a rundown of our current ideas for obtaining the land and also share our vision for what we will be doing, creatively speaking, in the space.  I also let everyone in on the beautiful and sustainable material that we dream of building our house with.  Take a listen to find out what it is! 

Perspective or Limiting Belief?

It can be challenging to undo old ways of thinking that no longer serve us. However, if you want to be an artist, it is a necessary skill to hone.  Often times our growth is impeded, not by worldly challenges or naysayers, but by our own limiting beliefs masquerading as our "perspective."  In this episode, I share how I overcame my own limiting beliefs and leave you with some ideas to help motivate you to do the same.
