How to find more time is one of the biggest challenges I see people face, is not having enough time.

In this episode I share my top 3 tips for finding more time.

Today I am sharing my top 3 tips for dealing with fear and doubt.

1. What is the opposite?
2. What is the solution?
3. I can cope - Accept the worse and know you can cope.

We feel fear and doubt all the time, especially as we grow. I see it on a daily basis, in friends, myself and also the members of UAS. Questions come in daily and there is usually fear or doubt driving the questions.

Remember you CAN cope and accept that the worst might happen but you learn from mistakes and challenging times. I can create a safety net in case this does happen and minimise it from happening in the future. It's OK to make mistakes, I am human.

Hope this helps, 

Michelle. 

In this episode I talk about giving up when something gets hard vs giving up because you hate doing something.   I realised last week there is a very find line between giving up on something that is hard vs giving up on something we really don't enjoy doing.   There are going to be times of resistance when we are growing as people as and creatives. When we are learning and growing, it hurts. We literally experience growing pains.   I had a reminder last week to keep pushing through the pain as I nearly gave up 4 years ago and I would never be where I am today if I had.   I hope you enjoy! 

In this episode I talk about the topic of comparison vs being inspired by.

Here are some great quotes here from Jon Acuff:

• Inspiration tells you anything is possible.
• Comparison tells you everything is impossible.
• Inspiration fills you up.
• Comparison empties you.
• Inspiration drives you forward.
• Comparison pulls you backward.
• Inspiration tells you there’s still time to accomplish something amazing.
• Comparison tells you it’s too late.

In this episode, I talk about what makes an artist's voice and the difference between copying and being inspired by others' work.

Finding your voice as an artist makes you unique and stand out from the crowd and can be very enlightening.

Enjoy!

In this episode I talk about our Kick-Start Your Art Challenge, and everyone taking part is on the road to finding their voice.

Making mistakes is something we all need to do to find out what we love about our art and why and work out what we don't like to find our authentic voice.

Making mistakes isn't a bad thing as long as we learn from them.

Enjoy! 

So in today's episode, I talk about how sometimes, you can feel terrified of who you are as a person and as an artist.

We can sometimes lose sight of what inspires us, especially in these crazy times we find ourselves in.

Our Kick-Start Your Art Challenge, has come at the perfect time. It's there to help you find your inspiration and creative flow when these questions come, and we hit creative blocks as artists.

What makes a great artist? It is something that I have been thinking about over the last week. For me, it's practice, practice, practice.

I share some stories about how 'practice' is the best way to grow as an artist and share some exciting things that we've got coming up at United ArtSpace.

We have a KickStart Your Art Challenge starting on 19th February, and our Make Your Mark course is back!

Enjoy,
