 <\/p>\n

Dear Wonderful, Creative You:<\/p>\n

I’ve been thinking a lot about why you think you aren’t an artist, when of course, I know we are all creative. This is one of the most common issues that gets in the way for folks in pursuing their creative dreams. Even for folks who don’t aspire to be a “real” artist, some struggle to even create at all because they feel the time and expense is not justified as a hobby. Why is it then, you think you aren’t an artist?<\/p>\n

You Think You Aren’t “Authorized” to Create<\/h3>\n

Somehow you\u00a0got the message that because you did not study art, music, dance, or writing at a university, you don’t\u00a0have \u201cauthorization\u201d to create<\/strong>. But if we step back and think about it from a wider historical and\u00a0cultural perspective, it becomes clear that this is a pretty\u00a0odd belief.<\/p>\n

In many older cultures, the arts were and are woven into the fabric of daily life.<\/strong> Everyone has a role to play in painting, singing, dancing, writing, weaving, storytelling, dancing, or some creative endeavor. But as western culture evolved, we lost a lot of those traditions.<\/p>\n

The arts have become a professional endeavor to be viewed\u00a0in museums and on stages instead of a part of our daily lives and a natural form of self-expression.<\/strong> Of course I love museums, the theatre, and performance, but I think there’s also a place for\u00a0the everyday creative and the experience of shared creative expression.<\/p>\n

\"why<\/a><\/h3>\n

Someone Told You Weren’t “Good Enough”<\/h3>\n

Unfortunately, because we think the arts are\u00a0for the “gifted” and skilled, we discourage a lot of creative expression. This happens all too frequently with children – whether because they are told that a drawing is not good enough, that their sister is the “creative one,” or that their jokes are\u00a0not funny enough. Many of us have a story like this.<\/p>\n

This is a crushing\u00a0environment in which to explore creative impulses, make mistakes, and produce a lot of art.<\/strong> Even as we write, paint, and dance, many\u00a0of us are on the lookout for negative commentary and\u00a0quit when we get the faintest whiff of criticism. This, of course, is where the inner critic is born. We internalize our culture’s\u00a0attitudes about art and end up being harsh and discouraging to\u00a0ourselves.<\/p>\n

You Listen to Your\u00a0Inner Critic<\/h3>\n

While I was thinking about writing\u00a0this post, I came upon a wonderful piece\u00a0from artist Peter Mohrbacher<\/a>. He speaks directly to how much\u00a0own self-judgment and fear gets in the way of creating.<\/strong> I love this quote from his post: “If you could get past what they think about your work, you could make anything. In fact, you CAN make anything. Any thinking that leads you to believe otherwise is the quiet, yet familiar whisper of your own fear.” And this fear is what I and many others refer to as the inner critic. It’s all those familiar negative statements and excuses that keep you from making something. “I don’t have enough time, I’m not good enough, I have laundry to do, If I take time for me I’m selfish,” I’m sure you could complete a long list. (And if you’ve taken any of my courses, you’ve done this exercise!)<\/p>\n

Make Something Small<\/h3>\n

All of this is to say, I want to empower you to create. I want you to know that those creative urges you feel from time to time, or perhaps daily, are a natural, inescapable need. Honor your creative impulses by making something. So much of our lives are spent in front of this screen. Make something with your hands – something tangible, something you can give to your grandchildren<\/strong>. It doesn’t need to be grand, it just needs to be something of you.<\/p>\n

\"Fluid<\/a><\/p>\n

You don’t need a piece of paper to authorize you to be creative, just your own permission.\u00a0If you are looking for a way to dive into a simple, but infectious creative process, check out my new class, Fluid Art. It’s on pre-sale right now through July 9th only.<\/a><\/p>\n

Creatively Yours,<\/p>\n
