Building unshakeable trust in yourself is a gamechanger and it affects more than just your artwork. Learn why and how you can start building it today. Self-trust allows you to take risks, explore, and play in your painting without worrying about seeming scattered. You trust your creativity. With self-trust, you know you can choose one idea without fear of losing others. You feel calm and free while creating. Self-trust helps you feel calm and open when showing your work, talking about it, and discussing pricing. Without self-trust you doubt choices, compare yourself, second-guess, become stagnant, jump between projects, feel caged by past successes. Ways to build self-trust: recognize what you like/dislike, practice keeping tiny promises to yourself, have grace when you make mistakes, turn down the volume on your inner critic. Building self-trust is a practice - your brain has decades of lying to you that you can't be trusted. But you can rebuild trust in yourself. Do you spend more time thinking about making art than actually making it? Start things you never finish? Make work and then stack it against the wall, facing inward, so you don't have to look at it?If any of that sounds familiar, I'd love to chat.Click here: savvypainter.com/survey to tell me what's going on.
