Can you control your creative flow? Not always, but you can clear a way for it. The flow is always there, but you need to give it a path to move along. We discuss how to get out of your own way and unclog your creativity. You have access to so much within yourself, but you need to have an outlet for it, otherwise it will remain stagnant within you. It's about getting it moving and keeping it moving. In some ways this is about having a practice, a discipline and a process, but in other ways it's simply about being active with what you have to express from within yourself. You got to give it attention and make sure you do not get in the habit of neglecting it. So join us for a talk that might just help open up your creative flow and keep it moving. …If you enjoyed the episode please SUBSCRIBE to the podcast, SHARE it with friends and check out our website for further access…   — www.wayoftheartist.com —

Preview #143 - Don’t Clog the Creative Flow

Do you ever work off of pure inspiration? To do this it means letting go of your ideas about what is right or wrong. By allowing room to make a mistake you develop a creative approach that provides a new form of freedom. Every now and then we have a conversation that is off the cuff and we expand on an idea before we have fully thought it out. This is a great practice for the artist because not only does it help you get out of your own way by not overthinking it, but it allows you to move quickly on your creative impulses. In this one we ended up diving into the concept of how we look at making mistakes and we consider perspectives on removing the fear or resistance we have about them. This one may be something that helps you let go of a need to to do it perfectly or flawlessly and will give you options that were otherwise unavailable. …If you enjoyed the episode please SUBSCRIBE to the podcast, SHARE it with friends and check out the official website for further access to the show…   — www.wayoftheartist.com —

Preview #141 - What Actually Matters in Your Approach

 - Whenever you decide to engage in something creative it's an adventure and you will not always know where it is going to take you. The more you do it, the more you develop a personal process. It's not a one size fits all kind of thing. It's not black or white. It's more like something that can be figured out through a series of trial and error. There is no right way to do something for an artist. What works for one person, may not work for another, so we all have to figure out what is best for each of us. There are efficient and effective ways to go about something, but that is not always what is most important. Sometimes it may be more about tapping into a feeling of fulfillment or digging into something deeper. The art of what are doing is sometimes found in way you do it. In this conversation we dive into how to connect to your creative process and make make it work for you. …If you enjoyed the episode please SUBSCRIBE to the podcast, SHARE it with friends and check out the official website for further access to the show…   — www.wayoftheartist.com —

Preview #140 - ”Getting to Know Your Creative Self”

- There are times were you may find yourself asking... am I up for this? So we take this on and dig into it. We uncovered some interesting stuff. It is not always easy to take on the big important things that we truly want so we may find ourselves avoiding them or even running away from doing it. Do you ever distract yourself instead of doing the sometimes uncomfortable task of going after your goals and dreams? On this episode we consider an approach to tackling the big opportunities in our lives... as well as determining wether or not we truly want to to take them on. The answer may be "no" sometimes and that is actually okay. What is important is that we have a way of getting to a clear decision about it and a way to either move on from it or get after it. …If you enjoyed the episode please SUBSCRIBE to the podcast, SHARE it with friends and check out the official website for further access to the show…   — www.wayoftheartist.com —

WOTA #139 - ”Am I Up for This?”

Preview #139 - ”Am I Up for This?”

- We get into how keeping it simple is often the solution to all that gets in our way. It can actually be a superpower if we allow for it. It's worth considering the question... can we even do "complicated"? It might look like it on the outside from the observer's point of view, but really complicated things are often built upon many smaller simple things that work well together. So what is the core thing here and is it being honoured above all else? That is what you need to always ask yourself. If you do you might just find things are easier than you thought. At one time you might not have been able to do it, but then suddenly it's like you have a superpower when you simplify it for yourself. …If you enjoyed the episode please SUBSCRIBE to the podcast, SHARE it with friends and check out the official website for further access to the show… — www.wayoftheartist.com —

- Want to hear a perspective on what it's like to be a full time working actor? Brendan Taylor shares his experience of finding his way there. Someone who started late, but hung in through the challenging moments to carve out a path for himself. He shares his stories of just trying to get a gig while maintaining a day to day income, and takes us all the way through to making his acting a full time gig. It's not easy to make a career for yourself in the arts, but it's definitely worth trying. The key is to never convince yourself that there will be a day where you made it, but instead to embrace gratitude with each success. At the end of the day we are fortunate if we get to do what we love... and even if it is only temporary, it's important to enjoy it while it's there.
