How do you find the courage to take creative action when you’re not even sure how to start (or restart) making art?

Are you waiting for inspiration to FINALLY do your creative work? Or until you’ve got more technique or skills or experience? Struggling with procrastination and trying to get motivated as a creative entrepreneur?

Wish you could just do the work without so much angst or artist’s block?

When it comes to art making and being a creative entrepreneur, it wasn’t going to therapy or reading books about creativity that helped me finally start making my art (and showing and selling it!) consistently.

It was learning how to cultivate a compassionate and growth mindset-oriented creative practice.

It's not the mechanics, tactics and techniques that keep us stuck and not creating. But that’s what it seems like.

The remedy to artist self-doubt, confusion, anxiety and fear of facing the blank page is what I’ll share in this video, and it’s the third key to effortless creating. It's really the main reason why I've had any success as an artist and creative entrepreneur.

Art heals. I am living proof of this: That we can make art and feel better. At the same time. Against all odds.
