Dear friends,
Let’s all take a minute to bask in the glory of this girl’s glitter and gorgeousness! Let’s admire her bravery and her ability to be bold. Let’s spend some time marching to the beat of her band!
And next - - let’s look at the expression of the guy behind her! Do you recognize that pinched face and judgmental stare? Can you write a thought bubble over his head? We all know what he’s thinking.
Ok. Now imagine creating a transparent bubble of protection around our girl. What thoughts would conjure a force field against his negativity? Let’s all give it a try - fuel her strength with your advice and love!
We did it! Our girl is safe and she marched away with a bounce in her step!
So here’s the big question - Why can we do it for her, but not ourselves? We all face fear and shame, comparison and scarcity. That part is inevitable. It’s how we react to negativity and judgmental stares that makes all the difference, especially if we want to be artists. If we want to keep creating and dancing, we need to craft our own protective force fields!
Here Are Some Force Field Ideas:
Watch Someone Else Dancing. I recently fell in love with West Coast Swing, especially Sean McKeever and Alyssa Glanville. You should too!
Get Inspired by David Bowie. This is a page full of his creativity advice!
Bask In The Joy of Our Sketchathon Success! - Together we raised $1000 for Raw Art Works in Lynn. I can’t wait to do it again!
