Releasing Old Stories That Are Holding You Back

We all have stories we have picked up along the way about who we are, what we are capable of and what we’re supposed to do. And some of these stories can hold us back from doing things we want to do and from growing - they are limiting beliefs. For creatives, artists and writers, this can create blocks in our creative work. In this video, I tell you about a story that held me back for a good couple of years, and how you can release the stories that keep you from moving forward in your creative life.

This is the first Mindset Monday - a new video series I’m trying over the summer. Every other video or so will be about a mindset issue you might be facing in your creative life. Hope you’ll enjoy them!

Life Changes & Creative Dreams: Building Your Long-Term Strategy

Pursuing creative dreams or making big life changes can be completely overwhelming. So much needs to happen, the way there is so long, and we don't know if things will even work out. But it's all worth it when it's something you truly want.

In this video, I take you along building a long-term strategy towards big dreams, goals and life changes and then breaking it all the way down to the small everyday activities you can do. I also share how my strategy towards a slow and creative life looks, and talk about patience and the importance of enjoying the journey.

Pursuing A Slow Living Lifestyle & A Creative Life

Pursuing A Slow Living Lifestyle & A Creative Life

It started as a daydream of a different kind of life. A life where I wasn’t trapped at a desk all day, where I had the space to pursue my creative projects wholeheartedly. A slower life with my own gentle rhythm. Over the last five years or so, I’ve turned that daydream into reality.

Pursuing a slow living lifestyle and a creative life is something you can do within the life you’re already living. But it can also be a bigger life-change, one that take years to make. In this video, I talk about them both, and how I’ve built a slow and creative life.

Slow Creative Moments | Rituals For Getting Into The Mood To Create

Slow creative moments are my some of my favourite moments in life. Shaping those moments and folding them into my life is how I have pursued slow living and a more creative life over the last couple of years. Pursuing a slow life and creative ideas can be a bigger life-change, but we can also do it in our small, every day moments.

Sometimes it's difficult to sit down and create and find that right mood and flow though. Having a ritual to begin your slow creative moments can really help set the mood. In this video I share my own ritual and the things I do when I need something extra to get into the moment.

The Beginning Stages Of A Creative Project (And How To Navigate Them)

Oh those early days of a creative project! The days of dreaming, of wondering, of making visions and dipping your toes. But also - the days of self-doubt and overwhelm and paralysis. That is what I'm talking about in this video - the beginning stages of a creative project and how you can navigate them.

Way too many projects end before we've barely gotten started. We get stuck in those beginning stages and never make our way through them. But we can, of course, YOU can - one step at a time.

Make A Creative Project Vision Board

Oh the feeling of having a clear vision for the creative work you want to bring into the world! It’s not just a lovely, inspiring feeling, it’s also a great tool in your creative projects. In this video, we talk visions, why we need them, how you can clarify your vision and then capture it in a vision board!

I love vision boards. I love making them, and I love using them to remind me of my vision throughout the creative project. They help you find that inspiration and motivation again when you might start doubting your ideas along the way. So let’s make a vision board!
