Uncovering Your Creative Confidence Series - Part Three

The Side Effects Of People Pleasing

We can learn from an early age to become people pleasers, but we are not always aware of the side effects of it on our sense of selves and our creativity. In this weeks episode we take a look at how this shows up in our actions and behaviours.

Quitting Vs Taking A Break

There seem to be two schools of thought: one is the prevalent one, winners never quit and also the binary version which says we should know when to call it a day and quit before we invest any further time/money/energy into whatever venture we are partaking in. The most important question that can arise for a creative is whether they should quit the whole idea of pursuing their art in the first place or if they have started and it is not panning out the way that they had hoped, whether to call it quits and admit it didn’t work out and it was worth the try but you don’t feel inclined to lend it any more of your time and energy.What if what is actually needed is a break without a time restriction on it? https://www.youtube.com/@illustratingrain https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thespiritofcreating https://www.instagram.com/illustrating_rain https://www.facebook.com/illustrating.rain/

As If.

What are you using your imagination for? Are you using it to worry or assume the worst about yourself or are you spending time imagining the outcomes that you would want, the ways you want to be. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are conjuring up images of ourselves and our worlds constantly and so there comes a time when we learn to better utilise the gifts of our imagination. In the final episode of Uncovering Your Creative Confidence we take a look at how we can better use our imaginations for our creative goals.

Uncovering Your Creative Confidence Series - Part Five

We walk around with quite a lot of assumptions. We have these nice, sanitised ideas of how things should look, how they should be and when they don’t show up how we imagined, we feel like we have failed, or something has gone wrong when the only thing that was wrong was our assumption.

Uncovering Your Creative Confidence Series - Part Four

Choose Again

If you have found that up until now you have not felt confident in the way that you have wanted to, then always know you can choose again.

It is not a conscious act when ideas and beliefs that erode self-confidence appear. We are not aware of the exact moment we had a thought that something about us or our art was not good enough and decided to believe it and leave it to grow, unquestioned over the years.
