You can actively pursue creative breakthroughs by taking deliberate breaks and trying new activities that shift your mindset from stuck to free-flowing. Creative breakthrough is an overflow stateâit's living in higher energy and having more to give of yourself, to your art, to the world.
Living in a state of breakthrough requires creating space and avoiding the pitfall of constant busyness. Documenting and writing down your artistic experiences isn't just about chronicling eventsâit's a fundamental practice for opening yourself up to breakthroughs and keeping creativity alive.
Revisiting past works, surrounding oneself with inspiring objects, and writing down creative experiences are also key strategies for maintaining a continuous creative state. The feeling of that constant creative flow that comes from simple yet profound practices and they help you stay aligned with your intuitive self.
Whether it's choosing to move past feelings of being stuck, setting up a spacious and comfortable environment, or collaborating with others, this episode is packed with insights that will empower you to embrace creativity as a continually attainable state. Slight shifts in perspective and habitual practices lead to a thriving overflow state of high energy and creativity.

https://Art2Life.com - Have you ever wondered why some creative practices thrive while others falter?
The answer might lie in understanding our six essential human needs: certainty, uncertainty, significance, love and connection, growth, and contribution, how they intertwine with our art-making, and how understanding them can lead to a more fulfilling and sustainable art practice.
Art is more than just a reflection of our innermost feelings; it's a mirror of our personal evolution. But when youâre clinging to the same artistic methods, it leads to stagnation, which is why itâs so crucial to evolve and embrace new approaches.
That's where my innovative Bloom Practice comes into playâbecause it prioritizes feelings over outcomes, encouraging authenticity and profound personal development in your art.

I also share my thoughts on the power of community and the necessity of internal growth over external validation and give artists practical steps to take to allow them to price their work confidently and accurately.

https://Art2Life.com - Everything starts with creative expression. Cherie Healey believes that leadership is the greatest creative endeavor of all time. But too many people feel theyâre ânot qualifiedâ to be leaders because their definition of leadership is outdated.
Leadership is first and foremost about learning to lead yourself. Itâs also about gaining clarity, living your passion, and inspiring others. She believes that you are more powerful than you know.

https://Art2Life.com - Bibby Gignilliat had stopped painting years ago because she had a critical teacher who made her feel like she was talentless. So she spent years as a computer programmer, worked in adventure travel, and even ran her own cooking business. By all measures of success, she was successful.
She continuously pushed her dream of being an artist and having her own gallery show aside. Today, Bibby and I are painting in her studio. Sheâs an accomplished mixed-media artist who incorporates her travels into her art.
It all started because she was willing to push aside what sheâd been told about herself and started listening to herself. Bibby shares her path back to her artâand how she let her intuition lead the wayâin this episode of the Art2Life Podcast.

I share why setting a date and embracing the uncertainty is transformative in this episode of the Art2Life Podcast.
