Canvas Rebel Magazine
Fam!🌞 Another special conversation, & this time it's with the wonderful team at Canvas Rebel.
I am super thankful for the space they shared to talk about topics near & dear to my heart.❤️
Something we touched on was resilience in the creative/artist journey. I’ve learned & grown a lot in this process, & I hope my journey offers comfort to those in similar circumstances or about to embark on their own.🤝🌟💫
These thoughts are applicable to many aspects of life & what I believe to be one of the most important keys to freedom within ourselves, our minds, and our hearts.🤲🏼🤲🏿🤲🏽🤲🏻🤲🏾🕊️✨
Slides 8 & 9 are written 💭 below:
“I believe the entire journey requires resilience.
Being a creator & being at peace with what you're doing, whether others are applauding you or there's complete silence, is vital. Losing one's focus to primarily external validation will be a miserable journey.
Sharpening your inner voice to be as in tune with your heart as possible is very, very important. This is what will guide you when you feel the outside world isn't mirroring your inner hopes, dreams, or “expectations".
One of many helpful mindsets is to trust yourself. When you create or put your heart into something, it's key to ask yourself how you feel about it & remember how you felt before & after sharing or posting online.
No matter what the results are, this is truly what matters. Loving what you created will bring you peace of mind & heart. It's within the integrity of being an authentic artist or creator.
What you create is from your heart; it should always be personal for you! And those who are meant to connect with you & find you will. Those are the people you want to attract within your community because they are invested in who you authentically are.
Another important thing to always fall back on when overwhelmed, tired, or exhausted is your WHY.
Why do you create? Why are you doing what you are doing? What is the "WHY" at the core of it all? Make sure this "why" stands on a solid foundation & not a faulty, external temporary "fix".
Finally, remember that the only constant is change, & the highs may go low & the lows will go high again. Enjoy the journey.
Enjoy the peaks & valleys. Try to stay steady through it all, knowing your heart will never fail you.
Enjoy creating and BE-ing!”
