The 'I Am An Artist' Challenge
Day Seven
#callyourselfanartistchallenge
Hello artist friend
You MADE IT!!!
The hugest of high fives and congratulations to you! 🙌👩🏼🎨
You've just spent a whole week rewiring your brain and challenging your perhaps long held beliefs and assumptions, and that is not a small thing.
Even if it only looks like a 'little Instagram challenge' on the surface. 😉
How are you feeling? Had an ahas? Discovering new-found confidence? Told anyone you're an artist without cringing this week? 😉
Today’s task is to put the word artist in your Instagram bio, or whatever social media platform{s} you use.
If you don't use social media, put it in your email signature! {I use this for mine.} Heck, why not both?!
You can just put that one word, or you can write a short sentence like ‘I am an artist who makes…..’. And NO apologetic energy ok! This is just a statement of fact.
And while I can’t guarantee it, it’s extremely unlikely that anyone will query you on it.
And if they do, or you have a wobble, get your notebook out and look back at all you wrote and discovered over the past week, all the evidence you have, the definition that feels true to you in your bones, and know that you’re an artist anyway.
Thank you so much for joining me on this short but meaningful adventure into the truth about you as an artist.
I appreciate you humouring my sometimes strange suggestions! They are all things I use or have used myself, so I know they work, given time and persistence.
If you found it helpful, I'd love to know!
⭐️ And I have one more thing for you.⭐️
You may know that I run a membership for artists called the Happy Artist Studio.
It offers a wealth of rich and flexible support for artists looking to go beyond the copying, the confusion about what's 'theirs', and the limiting self perceptions, to create art and an artist life that works with who they are and how they want to show up in the world.
Basically, we support and guide your artist self so you can thrive in the ways you want to.
If you'd like to keep the momentum you've been building this week and fully step into your artist self and all that can mean for you, consider this your invitation!
PLUS, because you reached the final email in the series, as a thank you and hooray gift, I've sent you a coupon code to take 15% off your first month in the Happy Artist Studio!
Check your inbox {or possibly spam/junk if you don't see it} for an email titled 'Your gift for completing the I am an artist challenge'.
If you have any questions about the Happy Artist Studio, I'm more than happy to help - just reply to any of my emails!
Will I be seeing you on the inside?
