From burnout to breakthrough: The artist's way to empower creativity
|
A HUGE creative milestone was reached today, Reader! I published a brand new video on my channel, which marks my official return to YouTube! Over the last several months, I've been on a steady recovery from creative burnout. As such, publishing this video is a significant milestone for me because it represents all the wonderful progress I've made on my creative journey. So in today's video titled Recovering from creative burnout: This is how I'm healing (The Artist’s Way Week 1), you get to see a different side of me. The side of me that is chatty, friendly, and vulnerable in my storytelling. Truth be told, I had to overcome some limiting beliefs to get to the point where I finally feel safe to change up my content and experiment with this new form of self-expression. I owe it to The Artist's Way Week 1: Recovering A Sense of Safety for helping me find the courage to experiment with new creative projects, such as today's video. In it, I chat with you about how I'm using the tools in The Artist's Way program to empower my creativity, feel artistically inspired again, and cultivate inner safety so I can step outside of my creative comfort zone. In this brand new YouTube video, I share with you:
You don't want to miss hearing my story about being a shadow artist because I believe there are many artists just like you, Reader, who'll relate to my experience of growing up in an environment that strongly discouraged me from pursuing art.
By the time you're done watching, you'll understand how tools such as daily journaling and taking yourself on solo dates cultivate self-intimacy. By doing so, you create an inner space where you feel safe to explore your creativity. I'm really proud of sharing this video with you because I'm giving myself permission to create new kinds of content and share a different side of my personality. As a result, I feel a lot freer as an artist. I'm taking risks and feeling more courageous with my creativity than ever before! So I invite you to come on this creative journey of healing and transformation with me! ACTION STEP: Click on Recovering from creative burnout: This is how I'm healing (The Artist’s Way Week 1). Have fun watching the video, Reader! Talk to you again soon, Your friend, Miranda |

I almost quit making art, Reader. Making art for work and business rather than for personal enjoyment created a lot of unexpected stress in my life. It led to creative burnout, which is why I walked away from online business for nearly a year because I needed to rest and recharge. During that time, I honestly considered giving up on art and content creation because they no longer felt sustainable in our fast-paced digital world. Fortunately, working through The Artist's Way program helped me...
I hope you're having fun creating art and enjoying the summer, Reader! For me, August is always a socially engaged time of the year when I go out, have fun, and spend time with family and friends. As a result, I don't have a new video or blog post to share this week. That being said, I have a few updates I'd like to share with you. First of all, I'm really glad to announce that I finally started painting with pan and tube watercolours again. It might not seem like a big deal, but it is to me...
This one decision changed my life, Reader. The decision encouraged me to return to creating art even though I still felt somewhat creatively stuck. And it motivated me to return to my creative business even though I didn’t feel 100% ready. Making creativity a priority is the decision that changed my life for the better because I feel much more inspired, expressive, and connected to my art nowadays. I would love for you to experience a similar transformation as me, which is why I'd like to...
