  • Set mindful resolutions for your creative career

    If 2020 has taught us one thing, it’s that we can’t predict what the year is going to be made of. You can’t control external events, but you can control your journey, your goals, and how you want to feel.

    How can you set resolutions for you and your creative career? Instead of setting quick resolutions that you'll forget after a month or so, this episode gives you three tips so you can create mindful resolutions with long lasting effect.

    And thank you for following me and listening to me! I'm so glad you find those episodes inspiring, keep sending me your feedback so I can improve my content and help you in your creative journey.

    Episode Breakdown
    2:55 - Why focusing on your feeling is the smartest goal
    6:52 - How getting out of your comfort zone will help you reach your goals
    10:00 - How surrounding yourself with the right people will help you grow

    • Why “no” doesn’t actually mean “no” 
    • Why your "why" matters
    • How rejection can motivate you
    • Why you need to keep going


    Episode Breakdown

    04:11 – Don’t take rejection personally
    05:36 – It’s not a “no”
    07:05 – Side note about the pandemic and your expectations
    08:34 – Remember your why
    10:35 – How rejection can motivate you

    I’ll share with you 3 activities you can do on a daily basis to look after yourself:  

    • visualisations, 
    • affirmations, 
    • and journaling. 

    Maybe you’ve heard of them before, maybe you’ve been doing them already, and in that case, I hope you learn something new today.
