In this episode, I share a deeply personal experience where I went against my own best advice and picked up my phone first thing in the morning. Seeing an artist’s successful post on Instagram triggered feelings of inadequacy and despondency. It’s easy to compare ourselves to others and feel like we’re not enough. However, I turned to my toolbox of coping mechanisms to process these feelings. I encourage listeners to join me as I discuss the importance of identifying the spiritual truth behind our emotions. By putting down my phone, focusing on nature, and reflecting on my unique purpose, I found a way to realign myself.
I use the metaphor of an oak tree and a blue jay to illustrate how each of us has a unique role and creative DNA. Just as the oak tree and blue jay each serve a distinct purpose, so do we as artists. It's vital to appreciate our unique gifts rather than compare ourselves to others. Drawing inspiration from nature, I realized the importance of embracing our individuality and creative expression. In this episode, I guide listeners through a brief meditation to help realign with their spiritual truth and appreciate their unique contributions to the world. Join me for a Spiritual Declaration to reinforce your unique creative path.
