We all know the phrase "practice makes perfect," but I actually do not believe in this phrase!

I think a truer statement is "practice makes familiarity." When you practice something, it becomes familiar. When something becomes familiar, then your brain registers it as safe. 

Your brain has a funny way of taking the path of least resistance. The same thought patterns and emotions will keep coming up again and again only because they have become familiar. Even if the feeling is unwanted, your brain will decide it is safe. You've practiced it. 

This is not an episode to shame you into practicing your art or guilt-tripping you for not devoting the time you desire to your creativity. Instead, it's getting to the bottom of the subconscious blockers that might be sabotaging you! Becoming aware of these things is the first step in overcoming them. I want to help you to remove the blockers standing in the way of living the creative life of your dreams! 

Mentioned in this episode:
I am so pleased to introduce you to the Magic Makers Membership! Walking a creative path is a life-long journey. It takes courage! We often come up against blockers of perfectionism, fear, imposter syndrome, frustration, discouragement and procrastination.

But when you can release these negative emotions, get curious and play, art becomes medicine. Life-giving medicine that you deserve.

The membership offers ongoing support and mentorship to help you elevate your soft pastel art, but most importantly, do so with peace and joy.

You need more than tutorials and technique, you need support and a proven path to your unique magic. I’ve got you covered with both.

Thanks for listening to The UnBound Creative!
