Fellow Jersey-girl Marie Forleo has some great advice about dealing with criticism.
She says:
- Everything that you love is disliked by somebody.
- It’s a whole lot easier to critique a thing, than to make a thing.
- Do not give anyone the power to make you feel worthless.
Watch the video on a great technique for vanquishing your own inner-critic.
I took a short break from painting since the Matter(s) Collective Mama Terra opening at b.e. yoga about a week or so ago. I’ve lately had a lot of visitors passing through – which means I’ve been needing to catch up on rest. Picked up my work yesterday – and it feels great. (pic of me in my studio from last fall)
Constantly juggling work, cycling, and creating. Sometimes you just need to stop and look around. I took a break to see this a few nights ago.
Baby steps on the next piece – an hour or so of work here and there after 9 hours a day at my day job is what I can do right now. So glad I took the time to get this going – Monday night Magic.
Have a beautiful day! And don’t let the critics get ya down – let yourself shine!
