What is getting in the way of your creative dreams?

1/26/2022

0 Comments

 
​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!
