Journaling to address the resistance around promoting your art
Do you ever feel resistant to promoting your work, marketing your art, or selling your pieces? It's natural to feel a sense of fear or discomfort around these aspects of building an art career, but it's important to confront these feelings head-on in order to overcome them. One powerful tool for doing so is journaling.
By taking time to reflect on your feelings and experiences, you can gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of your resistance. Journaling can help you explore your fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs, and uncover the negative self-talk that may be holding you back from achieving your goals.
Here are a few journal prompts to get you started:
What are your biggest fears around promoting your work and building your art career? Write them down, and then reflect on where these fears might be coming from.
What are some negative thoughts or beliefs you have about marketing, sales, or visibility? Write them down, and then challenge them by asking yourself if they are really true.
What actions have you been avoiding because of your resistance to marketing and sales? Write them down, and then brainstorm ways to overcome this resistance and take action.
Remember, the key to overcoming your inner resistance is to confront it head-on. By using journaling as a tool for self-reflection and self-awareness, you can gain a deeper understanding of your fears and limiting beliefs, and find new ways to move past them.
