Great Books For Savvy Artists.

So I talked it over with the king, and we've decided that there's something to be learnt from recent events. One tiny little lesson before I give you what you came for, our book recommendations for savvy artist's life and business. I read a lot so I have a lot to say in just a moment but before we get there. It doesn't feel right to overload my awesome readers with content after such a heavy post like the last post. C lick here if you didn't see it. So instead of that, we have decided to put out today's post celebrating world book day, then leave posting for a while to give time and space and respect to our loved ones currently grieving. Hope that's cool with you guys! Anyway, 's let's get on with it, shall we? I have decided to put this in 3 sections and there are roughly 12 books in all. Again I remind you pretty much all of these are affiliate links, this means that we may make a little tiny commission if you buy any of the books we suggest, but ...

Move From Moving On To Moving Forward

Moving on and moving forward,  they are the same thing, right? Well actually no. Once you have chosen to see life as seasonal and started chasing fulfilment rather than happiness, the next step toward success is moving on from moving on. Let me explain. Moving on gives the impression you’ve buried the past and now you're going to build something new on its grave and pretend it never happened. Moving forward is acknowledging the past, for what it is , learning what you can, and then deciding that it doesn’t define you and your still going to move forward with your dreams and in life because nothing can hold you back. You won’t give anything permission to do so. Good on you! You can move on from things and still not be over it, but hiding from your feelings is not going to help you . If you bury half-open wounds then poison will fester beneath your scars. You gotta make sure that you’re not running from your yourself. Trust me it’s exhausting and only leads to making laps around th...

Self-love for Bloggers

Dear Awesome readers, I strongly believe that we are all three-part beings.  We are spirits, with souls living in flesh cases called bodies. Your spirit and soul live forever, but your body does not.   This belief guides what I am about to say below, but you don't have to believe this in order to get the point of what I am going to share with you, I've just included my own belief for background purposes. This is a concept I like to call simple temple living.  This is based on the idea that we are  OK, with that said let's jump into today's post. Let's start by defining what I believe about each element of our three parts. I could be wrong, but this is how I understand things. The Soul - Designed for connection with others, we are relational beings. I t is also the centre of our emotions and if we hurt inside it's usually the soul that feels the pain. The Spirit - The essence of you, your passions, creativity and desire for something more comes from this part o...

Depression Sucks And So Does This Post (Proberly)

Disclaimer :Since it's the age of triggered, I will give you 3 potential triggers for this post, but if you trigger easy you likely don't wanna read this so see you tomorrow if you come back.  Potential Triggers: Sucide/Depression /Real Talk Right guys, let me straight today I don't feel like writing....I don't wanna be a real downer especially now the sun is finally starting to show up around here but I just got a word that a  friend of mine has committed suicide. At this point, I've just about had enough of getting messages like this, because I've had more in my young life than I care to admit. To be authentic today, I can't in good consciences  (yeah big word and what? I'm so not in the mood to edit myself right now) put up the happy post I was going to do so instead. I'm fighting back! Depression that is. I am fighting depression back because it sucks, and while it may be a part of the whole grieving thing. it's also had way too much of my li...

The Devils Tool Box - The Hammer of Fear

The next tool the devil likes to use to distract us from moving forward in life is the hammer of fear.  Fear can come in many different forms.  It can come in the obvious form of worry, anxiety, paranoia or even the not so obvious little worries we get about the smaller things. I'm not going to say too much about this one because if I got into this topic to deeply, I don't think I would know where to stop, so rather then going into detail about how fear works and what we can do about it. I'm just going to state the 3 main lessons I have learnt about fear and then give a source list so that if you want to do further study you are aware of some of the resources available. Please note these lessons are about fear in a negative sense. I know that fear can still be good and even protect us sometimes, but I am talking about the unhelpful side of fear in these lessons.  Lesson 1 - If you give fear space to grow it will. Fear usually starts out as a thought in your head, the more...

The Devils Tool Box - The Nails of Acceptance

It may seem strange that I'm starting this series by talking about acceptance as a tool used in the devil's toolbox but it does have a good reason for being the first topic looked at in this teaching.  Accepting things, in general, is not a bad thing, in fact, it is important to accept certain things in order to move forward in personal growth and there are things the devil will try to stop us from accepting.  However, there are things that if we accept too easily, they will actually stunt our personal growth. We are going to look at 2 of those things that can cause us to stay stuck by accepting them. In order to explain this, I'm going to start out by looking at it from the viewpoint of the thoughts attached to each of these things, then explain why and how it is dangerous to think this way and how to move from a negative viewpoint to a positive. What is important to remember is that the devil is a liar and so each of these thoughts is a lie. Let's now look at the evid...
