Recently, my family and I invited a new member into the family - a PUPPY!!!
His name is Juno.
And while it's been a LOT of fun these last few weeks getting to know him, it hasn't been as much fun training him not to wee in the house! 😅
But it has been interesting to watch him learn.
It's made me reflect on how - with anything new we learn - our brains need to be 'trained' just like my Juno's.
I know mine did when I first started my creative business years ago...
I had to 'train' my brain to overcome my self-doubt about whether or not I could reach success as a surface pattern designer and artist.
That self-doubt, self-sabotage, and lack of confidence come from hidden, subconscious beliefs that we're often not even aware of until we do the deeper work of looking for them and examining them.
These are our limiting beliefs, and if you've ever felt stuck, frustrated with your lack of progress, or filled with doubt that you could ever make it as a creative (which ALL of us have, of course!) then you know exactly what it feels like to have them!
So in this week's episode of the Design & Shine podcast, I explore what limiting beliefs are and how they might be holding you back from the creative success you desire - and how to get started overcoming them!🎤🎧
