Fill or Kill? Navigating Your Artistic Choices

As artists, we're faced with decisions that can either fuel our creativity or deplete it. ✨ From deciding whether to sell artwork online, enter shows, or even accept critique, it's crucial to ask: will this decision fill me up or kill my flow? 🤔 Understanding what fuels our work and what depletes it is vital, involving deep reflection on our emotional responses, alignment with our artistic vision, potential for growth, and the balance of time and energy investment. Intuition often serves as our best guide, helping us navigate these choices to ensure our creativity flourishes authentically. In this post, I share journal prompts for deepening this exploration: evaluating moments of peak excitement, identifying burnout signs, establishing non-negotiables, assessing alignment with core values, confronting fears, and making mindful choices about our commitments. Join me in embracing the unique journey of creativity, and making choices that allow our work space to thrive.
