There are so many things getting in your way as an artist or a creative. Whatever it is that you want to build, create, put out in the world, there are two kinds of blocks. The outer blocks are things that you need to get or learn or get help with. Those are manageable when you figure out what they are and what the next step is.
It's the inner blocks that can be really challenging. Those are the nasty inner voices that are telling you that you are not good enough, the project is not worth while, no one will care, etc etc. They are yelling at you any time you dream up a risky thing to do, and really they are trying to protect you. Learning how to deal with these voices is essential if you are going to get anywhere as a creative. And it is not about killing them, squashing them or shoving them in a box. Come to the workshop!

It can be very fun to push into the high energy of a big deadline. You let go of various other responsibilities and hone in on the one thing and go go go. Flow is happening and wouldn't it be great to do this all the time! And then the deadline comes and you get it done and suddenly you are in free fall. Have you been there? It can feel really painful and scary. Even without the big deadline- there are times when your creative juices are flowing and other times when they just aren't, and you can wonder if you are not really a creative. There is a natural tendency to start berating yourself with thoughts like, "I will never be able to sustain the creative energy." and "I don't have any ideas- I'm not a real artist."
The thing is that there is a cycle to the creative process as there is any thing. You need to exhale. You have been building and building and pushing- it is like the inhale part of the breath, and you need to let yourself rest, let go, exhale. You can trust that after you have rested, there will be a natural inclination to start to build again- to inhale. It is in the exhale of the big project that you both rest and also settle back into all the of the little things of life- the parts of you that keep you connected to your world. We have cycles within cycles - larger longer ones, like the creative push I am talking about, and daily ones, like day and night, awake and asleep, activity cycles within a day, all the way down to the actual inhale and exhale and even the heart beat. So let yourself have the rest, the release, the sense of safety and connection to all things. Let yourself have the exhale in all of these cycles. And trust that you will have a natural inclination to inhale- to engage your creative activity! You can start with "I want" but it has to shift to "I choose".
So journal with the question "I want"- let yourself dwell in that sense of longing that comes from a lack. Find the quality of being that you are longing for, maybe pleasure, play, creativity, openness, whatever it is for you. And when you are ready to step into it, say "I choose". And choose it over and over and over. Keep coming back to that quality of being in everything you do and see what happens. When you have the negative voices in your head telling you things like, "you never follow through" or "you are not reliable as an artist or creative, you don't complete anything, you don't stick with it," don't just ignore them.
Stop and listen. Find out what they are saying. Not so you can believe it, but so that you can get the real message about what is important to you. What is that horrible nasty voice talking about that is important to you. "You never follow through" is really "I want to follow through on this important thing to me." It is a call to come back. So stop listening to the insult and hear the call. If you find yourself not wanting to set New Years intentions because you are sure you will fail again- this is for you. It is a little piece of third hand wisdom. The seed is from a Buddhist teacher named Susan Piver, offered to me by my very wise and talented sister Jen Gilman (an amazing artist and architect ) and now on to you. It gets translated a little differently each step of the way- so put your spin on it and pass it along! The point is to recognize that consistency and success is not a straight line. Rather is coming back over and over.
It is fresh starts. And you have an infinite number of fresh starts available to you. So let go of the shame and guilt about having stopped previously. Forgive yourself. Know that you may stop again, but that you can always come back. And that is what is important. Coming back to a fresh start on something that you care about. I love the ritual of new year's intentions, but sometimes it doesn't work out well. As you prepare for your intentions, keep these 4 things in mind: 1. Pleasure- make it something you enjoy! Really! If you want to get more exercise, make sure you are asking yourself to do it in a way that is fun. Otherwise all those gremlins are going to come out and sabotage your efforts.
2. Choice- If you find yourself saying "I should" or "I need" or "I want", notice the feeling under those words. For it to work it needs to be "I choose" and if you do not really feel that sense of empowerment and self direction, make sure you find ways to tweek the intention so it really is from a clear place of self motivation and empowerment 3. Flexibility- If you are too rigid, there is going to be an insurrection of the internal forces. Make sure you have built in flexibility! 4. Singularity- cut it down to one intention! I know this is rough because there is a huge list of things. But if you can Check out the Winter Workshops! Early bird deadline is coming right up  I was just out walking in the woods and got drawn to a beautiful ice formation. I have no idea whether or how it will make its way into my creative work, but it is compelling to me. So I stop and look at it and soak it up. What I have found over and over is that later, sometimes much later, I will realize that I have made something that was inspired or influenced by something I saw. Its like it goes in and sits in the reservoir, or maybe it ferments like a good wine or a cheese, and emerges of its own when it is ripe. The other thing about it is that taking that time to be pleased by what pleases me, is nourishing and gives me energy to keep moving with all that I am doing and creating. It reminds me that I am connected to something much larger than myself, that I am part of a living breathing earth. I don't have to feel so alone. And, as an added bonus, that niggling hunger that is never really satisfied with the chips and chocolate that calls to me when I am not feeling nourished subsides a bit.   It is funny how as the dark descends in winter I find myself sitting on the couch and eating way more than necessary. Is this true for you too? I made this video inspired by being out in the cold for a morning walk. I would love to hear how it sits with you! Artists can lose connection to the creative juice. If you have been there I have a suggestion: the 15 minute study. Ok hear me out. There are three situations in which this is particularly useful:
1. You know that you need at least 3 or 4 hour chunks of time in order to get into anything creatively and with that reasoning - you have gotten very distant from your creative process. There may even be an emerging fear that you don't really have anything to say in your art- or you won't know what to do if you ever do find the time. 2. You have too many ideas and you are not sure which direction to go in- and you are feeling like you have a lot of false starts going on. 3. You are in the thick of a big long project and it is feeling oppressive and like a heck of a lot of labor for not a lot of joy. So what it is on a practical level - Chose a 10-15 minute time ahead of time- don't wait for inspiration or to be ready. And link that time to something you already do- in the morning with your first cup of tea, after lunch, after the dishes are done in the evening for example. -If you have a regular journaling routine- try this instead or first or after. -2-3 times a week is enough- don't try to do it every day- unless you are good at every day routines. - Choose a material that is easy to manipulate, easy to contain, not a lot of fuss and not too big. It is 15 minutes- be reasonable! It can be either one you know well or one you don't know well- they are different, but equally useful - just start moving it around, making marks, playing and let yourself be drawn to what is appealing. This is not about making something amazing, or not amazing. It is about activating that juicy creative side of you, trusting your artist self and opening up possibilities. What is it on a theoretical level It is about engaging the process of impulse (what if I did this) and discernment (ooh that is cool, or not that). In this way it helps you create a more comfortable and useful relationship between your inner judge (the part that discerns) and your inner playfulness (the part that wants to try things) Another way to think about it, it activates the parts of the Self: Awareness - paying attention to what you are seeing in front of you, and Will- trying something and making a choice. In this way it helps you to become more at ease in yourself and clear in who you are. If you do this for a number of weeks, I am betting you will find much more clarity and ease around your direction, much more juice and joy in your labor and much more drive to make the time you need to get into the studio. You may find that you want to keep the practice going forever, and you may find that it comes and goes. Either way is fine. It is a tool of connection to your deep creative self. So my challenge to you- try this 5 times over the course of two weeks. I would love to know how it goes!

You can really beat yourself up for it. Stop doing that. Stop being frustrated with yourself and notice that you can actually use procrastination energy effectively. Potentially procrastination does two things for you:
First, you can get the little things that have been bugging you out of the way- they are so much easier when there is something bigger looming in the background! Second is that while you are doing those little things the bigger issues is churning in the background and whatever is getting in your way can get clearer. The trick to this is to register the procrastination, and pose the question for yourself- what is it that is getting in my way? Or what am I not seeing that needs attention in relation to this project? And then give yourself full permission to enjoy that little nagging thing that you can take care of. Don't try to figure out the answer, just let it swim with you while you take care of that other thing. For me it is often a cleaning thing. Cleaning good because I am physically moving and my mind can wander. But a walk in the woods is equally effective- exercise, attending to the beauty of the natural world, etc. When the tub is clean, or the cob webs are off the ceiling, come back to your question and see if there is any clarity. And then ask yourself what the smallest first step is that you can take right now. You may find that it is something that you had not actually thought of previously that needs to be done first. I would love to know how this works for you! please comment! ___________________________________________ subscribe to my newsletter More about coaching with Val Can I interview you?

I know it is a big ask, it can be hard for many of us to be willing to get our work out into the light of day. But it is important. In this video I address three questions: --- why do it? --- what is getting in the way? --- where is the hope? I'm not saying you should not be doing all that you are doing- but what if it wasn't such a big struggle? Maybe it is because we grew up in a culture with a powerful work ethic- we need to feel the effort, the struggle, the angst, in order to value the work. You can actually get just as much done with pleasure and ease, maybe even more. In this video I describe a metaphor that helped me understand that it is possible to not work so hard. It has everything to do with internal friction, getting in your own way. I would love to hear your thoughts on it! Please comment! When you fall out of your creative practice, time goes by and it gets hard to get the juices flowing again.
We have all been there and it can seem foolish because you know it will make life better to get in there again, but the internal critics get going and it is hard to get past them. So I want to share my trick with you, a way to slide past those critical voices. I call it doodles- you might have another name for it. The thing is that the internal critic is there to make sure that you are not going to be ridiculed and thrown out of the collective- this is important! and besides you do want to make work that is valuable and worth while. But if, for whatever reason you have not been making in a while, it is hard to get back in the flow if you are trying to do good work, respectable and valuable and deep work. And you know that making work will nourish your soul and make life a lot easier once you are doing it. So tell the critic that you are just making a doodle, throw away art, a little nothing, and she does not need to worry- you won't show anyone. That should calm her down. And then really get some material in your hands and play for a short amount of time without any direct purpose. Why make throw away art? really? I know you are busy- we all are- it is hard to make the time to do anything, if you are going to make time for art, you want it to matter.... Yeah I know. But this is just to get the juices flowing past the log jam that is your internal critic. You will find after doing this a few times you start to trust yourself a bit again and as the critic starts to feel how yummy it all is, she may let you dream a little bigger... if not, lets talk! subscribe to my newsletter for irregular bursts of inspiration and occasional wonderful offerings Learn more about co-working with me- it is amazing how it can help you get moving in the studio! Sometimes when we are in a place of growth or expansion or moving in a new direction, our internal voices can get really mean.
They say nasty things like "you always have great ideas and then don't follow through, you are going to fail again, don't even try it." When this happens- do not try to shove this voice away- instead invite it to a cup of tea. What I mean by this is in the video- but what I do not mean is take on all the mean things- certainly do not do that. That voice has something you need to hear and the way to do it is with compassion for all the fear that voice represents. subscribe to my newsletter check out my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/taprootartsinsight Learn more about co-working with me More about coaching with me Can I interview you? It would be so helpful for me to hear what is going on for you so I can understand how to be of better service to artists and creatives and I would be happy to offer a coaching session in exchange. As a potter and a teacher of pottery I have a very simple saying that has come back to me a million times, "pots break". Pots break. Does this mean you don't put your heart and soul into it? No, you put your heart and soul into it. It means that you have to be willing and able to let go. You put your heart and soul into a piece, you fall in love with it, and then you give it to the kiln gods, and you let go. You have to let go. Because sometimes they come out beautifully, and sometimes not so much. And sometimes they break even before they get to the kiln. Pots break and it is part of the creative process. What I have found over the years is that when you put your heart and soul into a piece and you love it and it breaks, and you start over, the next piece will be even better. That is if you let yourself make the next piece and not try to make the same piece. Because you have learned something. I recently had a failure that looked more like a catastrophe. It was a kiln load of pots and sculpture and test tiles and my intern's work as well. And there was an explosion in the kiln. Yup. The kiln shelves were pulverized and the kiln roof was damaged and I lost about half of the art in the kiln. Luckily all of the intern's work survived. (read more below) So I was asked, what happened - how did this happen?
User Error was my first answer. My fault. And it's true, but I am not saying it to beat myself up, but rather to look at where are the mistakes that lead to this. What can I learn? After a day of walking around and poking at it and then a few days of asking some clay people and kiln people their opinions, I have a pretty good answer. I know how to fix it and I have learned a good set of lessons. Not the least of which was don't be casual about a firing - pay attention! Pots break and there are lessons. You have to take responsibility so you can learn what needs to be learned. It is important not to beat yourself up. User error happens. It doesn't mean stop, and it doesn't mean you suck. It means slow down and learn, and then keep going. ______________________________________________________________________________________
Have you ever considered having an open studio sale or being part of a neighborhood art tour?
I made this video when I was preparing to invite people to my yard to see my art as part of a neighborhood art tour. I offer it to you here as a way to think through the value of sharing your work in a tender way. The idea of a neighborhood art tour brings up the balance between professionalism and vulnerability. To be "professional" you would present only the spit-shined art in a clean gallery setting. It's the resume self. And there is great value in doing that. It is a way to get out of the way of the art and let it do its thing with the viewers. It is not about you, the artist. The thing is that I am scrappy - and art is messy. Maybe this is true for you too? Opening my space to the public is allowing them to see my vulnerable underbelly. All of my self doubts are right there. I do not have a perfectly manicured lawn, and the chickens are likely to come sauntering through. It is an invitation to the human side of creative practice. Is this a good idea? What I came to at the time is a deep realization that I wonder if you would resonate with. My art is about the vulnerable underbelly. It is ok to share that with people because they also have a vulnerable underbelly and they may also want a little permission not to be perfect and spit shined. Also as artists we need to have our work received and to feel it being received in order to continue to understand the value of it. This means interacting with an audience in some way. Art is a communication and if it is not received then it is like talking on the phone when no one is there. At a certain point you stop talking. The ideas dry up. It will nourish your creative side to have that connection and quite possibly someone will walk away with some new understanding or deeper awareness because of your work. You have to trust that. I did and it was a really great day of socially distant connection! _______________________________________________________________________________________
So many artists and creatives have this glitchy little voice that says that they are not a real artist.
"Someone else is the real artist - my sister, my neighbor, that other person - has the real creative genius. Not me." It totally gets in the way of your showing up in the studio or to whatever your creative pursuit is. What do you do about it? How do you get around it? First, acknowledge it and laugh: "There you are again, trying to get in the way of creative work." It is a sub-personality, and there is great work that I do with clients about getting to know the sub and helping to make it feel less threatened and therefore have less power over you. But the main thing to remember is that it is not truth that it is speaking - it is trying to keep you small to keep you safe so it is lying to you. It is like a scared child who is afraid to be seen. Second, understand that being creative is a human trait. It is part of what it means to be human. It is our birthright. It is what we use to engage in the world, to present ourselves, to process our painful bits.
In order to put in that time and dedication it helps to have the sense that it is worth it, that you have something of value to offer. This is the way that I think of it. You are a channel of creativity - we all are. We move through the world, living life, making mistakes, noticing what we notice and bumbling along. All of this is collecting in us- it all soaks in and gestates inside of us. Then, when we sit down to create, it comes pouring out of us- through our very particular and individual lens. We express what we need to see and hear, and that in turn is what others need to see and hear. Simply by being engaged in the world, if you are paying attention and caring, and if you make something that you need, you are going to express something that others need too. Not everyone, but probably someone needs your perspective. So take a leap of faith. Pretend that you have something to offer and it will reveal itself as you fall in love with your own work.
If you are an artist or creative who has an inner voice that is saying that it is arrogant to want to have your work seen by others, to take up space, you need to hear this.
That inner voice is trying to protect you from being ridiculed or thrown out of the human collective. It is fearful. It is an important voice, but it is doing its job inappropriately at this point. It is getting in the way of something important. We need your work. We need the heartfelt, vulnerable, soul searching art work that you are creating. So turn to that inner voice that is fearful of being judged and listen to it. Give it gratitude for the work it is doing to protect you, give it a hug, and let it know that you are handling it. Put that voice to the side and get to work!
It is really common for people who are making creative work to look at their work the next day and be bummed that they do not like it as well as they thought they did. Or all they can see is the mistakes and things they wish they had done differently. If this is you, does this mean you are not a real artist? I talk about it in a little more depth in this video, but in a nut shell: No. What it means is that you have a fairly sophisticated critical awareness of your chosen material, be it music, writing, visual art or whatever. You have been listening to really great music, looking at visual culture, reading books all your life. You know on a deep level what good work is, what you are turned on by. This is good -- really good. The problem is that your own skills in creation have not caught up yet to your base of understanding. Be patient. Keep working. The thing you really need to do is give yourself permission to play, to follow what is compelling to you, and to let yourself be a beginner, or exactly where you are in your process. Thank your internal critic for holding out hope for that high standard. And for being such a perceptive aid in helping you make improvements over time. You will get there if you keep going. Really. Keep going. So many creatives find themselves procrastinating on things they want to do. We have all been there and it sucks.
First the most obvious- it does not help to berate yourself! It actually makes you feel bad and creates an internal friction that makes it harder and harder to get anything done. It saps energy. So when you start to hear the berating internal voices saying things like you are lazy and incompetent, it is a signal that you need to look at some questions: 1. Am I giving it the time that it needs? This is both the amount of time and a time of day where there is the energy and focus. If you are trying to get yourself to do it at a time of day when you are exhausted for example, your inner rebel will wake up to protect you. 2. Are you thinking of it as one BIG thing? If you break it into steps and focus on just the first thing, you will not feel as overwhelmed by it. 3. What is competing with it for time? There might be other priorities that you need to weigh. What is the most pressing thing that you want to attend to? Maybe it is OK to wait for this other thing to be complete. Or maybe you can have a more realistic understanding of how long it will take. 4. What is it about the thing that you are trying to do: Do you need more support, either co-working/accountability or to talk it through with someone? Do you need to do more research or learn some skill in order to move forward? Listen for the message that your resistance is trying to give you! You may need to think about what you can edit out of what you are doing with your time, or figure out a way to budget your time so that you can get the self-care, rest and nourishment you need in order to do the thing you want to do. Remember as you ask yourself these things to bring a sense of compassion. Say to yourself "OK, I am not bad, so what is it that I need in order to move forward?" Coming back to your creative work after a hiatus is hard. Whether you have been having another career for a number of years or just got off track for a while, it is hard to re-enter.
If it has been a short amount of time you can sort of pick up a thread from before. Which can be challenging if there is no energy there. But if it has been a while you may need to give yourself space to be in the not knowing because so much has changed, your values and interests might have changed, your aesthetic might be different. It is hard and it is worth it. You have lived a lot of life and the creative process is so great for helping you process the learning that you have been in. How do you know how to start, how to enter? This is my suggestion: Start with easy small things. Throw away art, or doodles. Get things lubricated by letting yourself be drawn to what you enjoy, what you find compelling right now. The magic that happens is that when you have made a few of these things your creative immagination starts to kick in and pretty soon bigger ideas are calling for your attention.
It is a time for a lot of work to bring the deep winter growth out to the light. This process cannot be rushed- don't expect the garden to be in full bloom right away- and don't expect that all that rich internal work of winter is going to suddenly emerge fully formed. There will be mud, and lurching and things to clear out of the way. What: Taproot Spring Workshop When: April 29 from 1-3 pm est Where: Zoom Who: artists and creatives of any sort, any background and any level of experience who like to play in the imagination Cost: $25
Join me as we feel into the flow that is going on inside us, clear the channel of whatever is getting in our way, and bring a sense of patience and ease to our creative work. The Spring is well underway, the juices are flowing, last year's seeds are sending out delicate hopeful little roots, the buds on the trees are getting engorged and preparing to open to the world. Bring your journals and we will do some visualization to invite our deep inner work to direct our attention. This will be a very safe container for personal exploration and reflection. As we move fully into spring, this will be a wonderful way to find grounding, affirm your place in the world, get yourself aligned in your direction, set intentions and prepare for the year ahead. So much healing to be done and as artists and creatives, our voices are a balm to our cultures. This will also be a great way meet other creatives who value the process of discovery that can happen in creative play. This is not a promotional event, but I will leave a little room at the end to share my offerings and take questions. It is spring in New England and this means mud season and maple syrup. And of course I have to think of the anaogies to the creative process!
It is messy and not all that organized in early spring- when things are just beginning to wake up. And this is so true for when new ideas are starting to come together- some of it is mud, but there are those crocuses and snow drops- those little gems! The sap is flowing long before the buds on the trees begin to open. So letting yourself feel the energy flowing in your body and your psyche- that sense of hope and wonder coming back to life. And be patient with yourself as the new growth, from the deep work of winter, is getting ready to reveal itself.

When you think about getting your work out there, do you feel weighted and resistant or light and energized? If the answer is that you feel weighted or resistant, or any other similar feeling, you might be working under an understanding of success that is not in alignment with your values. In our broader culture we are taught that success means critical acclaim, high price tags, massive audience, high-end galleries, and making a solid living on your art work. All of this implies a judgement; is your work good enough to merit this - are you a good artist? This kind of judgement is counter-productive to making the heart-based work that is so essential to our well being. If you are making for the context of critical acclaim, money and reputation, your connection to the vulnerable work of the heart is going to dry up. That kind of work is vulnerable and raw and does not do well with judgment. If, on the other hand, you approach putting your art out into the world from a place of generosity, then the vulnerable, rich, exciting, raw work of the heart will have more ease. So think about your values, what is important to you in making the work. How do you want your work to interact with the audience? For example I value a deep connection, where my work might be healing or help people see the deeper parts of themselves. When I think of getting it out with a sense of generosity, I feel much more light and excited. It is worth it to get the work out there. My notion of success involves continuing to make with pleasure and depth, having a way for others to connect with the work on a deep level, and making work in the context of a life that is balanced and happy. What are your values and how do they relate to how you want to connect with your audience? How do you want to re-write the idea of success?
There is a challenge in bringing your "heart work", the creative work that comes from a very deep place in you, out into the world.
There is an inner voice that is very judgmental and says, "it is arrogant to want to be seen, it is selfish to want notoriety and appreciation for your work, it is arrogant to think that your work is worth that and you are trying to take up too much space." Yikes! So painful and destructive! OK, I get it that you want to be conscientious and not be a hog or arrogant. This is good. Don't block others or be so self-focused that you are not appreciating the gifts of others. But let me say something radical here: It is a disservice to not to put your work out. It is a disservice to you and it is a disservice to me. This is the thing, as humans we are collective creatures, we learn from each other. It is how our cultures are resilient. Each person has a particular perspective and way of thinking, and a particular set of gifts, and we need all of it in order to continue to grow and develop. If you have been making art and having a hard time getting it out and some of it you like a lot, it is time to get it out! Don't worry about liking all of it. If you are reaching and growing as an artist, you need to be making some crap - it is part of the process of discovery. Show the work that you are proud of. If you are making art from the heart, following what is compelling and allowing yourself to work at the edge of discomfort and the edge of understanding, this is very vulnerable work. And it is the most important work for us to see. As a culture we need that work. That voice that says don't be arrogant or a hog of space is not trying to hurt you! It is trying to protect you, but its technique is not working in your favor any more. As collective creatures we need to belong- it is a basic human need. That inner voice is trying to keep you from saying or doing anything that will cause you to be ostricized; judged and excluded from the community. So don't try to shove that side of you away. Instead turn to it and thank it for all the effort in protecting you. Let it know that you have done the work of developing really solid work and that you are not going to be ostracized. You are going to be OK and you want it to stay with you. There are people who need your work! I would love to hear from you! Warmly, Val
