Creative mindset- support and reminders for fashion artists

Welcome, creative fireball!

Here are some new videos SPECIFICALLY about learning, growth, self-expression, creative communities, and learning environments.

HOW WE FEEL MATTERS.

How we learn matters.

The environments we create and learn in matter.

How we speak to ourselves when we create matters.

CREATIVE MINDSET VIDEO 1

Play

Self expression and self-discovery- reflects a relationship with your self that always has a new frontier, a new energy inside you that wants to surface and flow into your experience.

What we are called to create, is our desire.

I believe we need reminding, often, to tune in, and ask– what is our relationship to ourself, to our desire, our creative power??

MINDSET VIDEO #2: Miracles, conception, germination, birth and nurturing

Play

BIRTH- ever the metaphor for the creative process– gestation and birth, and experiences of challenge and wonder, are “hero’s journeys “ that bring wisdom to the labor pains along our path.

How do containers of time and community affect our expansion and growth?

Finally, how can we birth our vision?

Through intention? Pushing? Surrender? Support?

How active is the experience of learning, birthing or growing, and how passive is it?

Where is it easy, where is it hard, and how much can we influence our experience?

How much control do we have, and how much faith?

These are SUCH GOOD TOPICS FOR JOURNALING.

VIDEO #3 INNER “SHOULDS” and “SHOULDN’TS”

Play

“What you’re looking for can be found where you were afraid to look”…. that ONE THING that is “UNTHINKABLE “ is often the doorway to freedom and self discovery.

Peruse the creative mindset and creative learning titles on this page and pick the ones that jump out at you!!

They’re all based on my personal experiences as artist, human, teacher, student, designer, musician, business owner, and mama.

CREATIVE MINDSET VIDEO #4 THE IMPORTANCE OF FINDING YOUR EDGES

Play

There’s your main voice, your comfort zone. THE KNOWN. THE FAMILIAR.

And? There are your edges.
(The farthest reaches of your comfort zone: where it trails off into the distant horizon, the depths of the sea or the heights of the sky.)
How can you harness the raw beauty of those vulnerable, beautiful edges?

CREATIVE MINDSET VIDEO #5; LEADING WITH PLEASURE IN YOUR ART AND CREATIVITY

Play

The inner critic in our creative process tends to be judgmental and punishing. We can recognize this voice, hear it out (it’s good to really listen to what it’s trying to say rather than pushing it away since it is a very real part of us.)

Then, that inner critic becomes CLEAR in a real message and not just a nagging feeling that dismantles our self esteem.

THEN, we can say “OUCH”.

AND THEN? We can thank that voice for trying to protect us from whatever it is trying to protect us from, assure it that we are grown up now and capable of exploring, growing, experimentation, discovery, and that we are entirely safe and willing to do so.

When we create the safe creative environment for ourselves, pleasure can lead and flow. But it’s important to prepare that environment and the loving patience that it sometimes required before the flow is established.
