Setting goals isn’t just about the end result; it’s also about personal growth and transformation. You feel disappointed and perhaps like you’re spinning your wheels a bit when you don’t achieve what you’ve set out to do. And a struggle to decide the ‘right' goal for you might be getting in the way of that feeling of satisfaction, happiness, and pride in your art practice.
So how do you choose if you have a million ideas and feel like you can’t pick just one to go with? In this episode of The Savvy Painter podcast, you’ll learn about the common fears associated with goal-setting and the part your brain plays in the process. I’ll also give you some practical tips to help you decide which goals to pursue.
1:58 - What setting goals helps you avoid and common struggles of artists who don’t have clear goals
8:32 - Why artists struggle with choosing the “right” goal and trusting their decision
16:34 - Why your brain creates obstacles to achieving your goals and how to deal with it
21:09 - How to decide if you feel like you have too many ideas
25:52 - The importance of trusting your decision once you’ve made it

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.
