This week in our eCoaching community we are discussing growth through the four stages of artistic development and the point of crisis that many artists arrive at when they realize that their existing skills and methods are no longer sufficient to get them to the next level. This requires the formation of new disciplines in order to survive.
It is incredibly difficult in a knowledge work economy to take the time to develop new disciplines. Many of us think that stopping means getting off the ride, which means falling behind. However, I think that the most important think to realize is the “invisible standard” we are trying to meet is what keeps us in the same rut creatively.
We need to occasionally get “off the ride” in order to gain some perspective.
It takes intentionality to engage with creative projects on our own time - they don’t just make themselves. In this episode, we talk about some disciplines that can help us creatively engage and get moving on our “pet” projects.
