How You Visualize Yourself As An Artist Affects Your Growth Mindset
If You Can Think it, You Can Be it.
I treasure the philosophy behind visualization and the self-actualization theories that come with it.
It proves that if you can paint a picture of what you want, and line up actions to achieve it, you can actualize your goals and experience exponential growth.
But usually, we don't.
What we do is paint a picture of a dream and get too scared to achieve it.
Or we don't paint any at all.
We simply take our creative situation or status for what it is and roll with it. No big picture. No heartache when it doesn't come to pass.
As writers, it is easy to say, "I am not ready yet." Or clutch our chests with trembling fingers, believing, "We’ll never be that good." But it's only a lie we tell ourselves because we are terrified of the picture we've painted.
Imagine visualizing yourself as a creative mentor, a bestselling author, a coach, or an award-winning writer.
