A New Year of Art and Transformation

A New Year of Art and Transformation means Evolving.

A New Year of Transformation begins with believing in yourself, loving yourself, and being ready to change. Life is growth. Growth is Change. What you believe is evolving along with your understanding of reality. Every new Discovery, each new event, changes your thoughts. Every experience of personal love, betrayal, or loss shifts your feelings. Your World View affects you deeply, but how do you pause, evaluate, and realize the impact? Do Art to access Your Feelings and Thoughts Now. Your actions are ruled by your beliefs and thoughts. As changes occur in the world, your life is never the same.

” Throughout life, our habits, beliefs, and ideas evolve beyond recognition. Our physical and so environments change. Almost all of our cells are replaced. Yet we remain, to ourselves, ‘who”we”are’.” Maria Popova

Thoughts rule our actions, and make all the difference. Art grounds us and makes us aware of our lives today, in this moment. In mindfulness, doing art along the way, we get a handle on our deepest self. With Art as our tool, we move forward and Transform our lives in 3 Ways.

First of all, consciously aligning your art with your life, brings more balance, fulfillment, and excitement. Always be led by your feelings. What feels good to do? What brings you back to yourself? What elements of life today can you add to your art? As you are changing, so is your art changing. Be mindful of your feelings about your life. Often our art releases our anger, sadness, and emotions, leading us to new territory. But take it further. How would your healed, happy life look in art?

Secondly, see life as fluid, moving and shifting all the time. I make a choice with the knowledge in the moment. But I know that I can make a new choice if the first doesn’t work out. Be flexible in your thinking and actions. This leads to new doors opening and Transformation happening. New opportunities present themselves that I would never have thought of, but I expect the unexpected. I don’t hesitate to make new choices and walk away from what doesn’t work.

Thirdly, living this way means my Art Reflects my Life. This ignites a fire, directionA, and path. Momentum builds this way. My Art takes off with a life of it’s own. Intuition is strong and I trust in my decisions. This gives a purpose to art which validates all I do. I’m no longer scattered or unsure. Plus, eliminating the clutter in both life and art moves everything forward towards a clear goal. As I focus, my studio becomes the creative cauldron for art, career, and happiness.

What do you Believe? How do you choose to live your life? What would make your life and Art more exciting, memorable, and fulfilling? Align your art to these goals and Magic happens. As you Believe and Trust your art, you become stronger and more confident. You improve your Life and your art evolves over time.
