WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING AS A UP IN COMING ARTIST

BALANCING THE HIGH AND LOW MOMENTS

As an up-and-coming artist, the journey is a rollercoaster of emotions, with exhilarating highs and challenging lows. Every artist, whether established or up-and-coming, faces highs and lows. It's part of the canvas. Embrace it, learn from it, and keep painting your story. 

Passion and Purpose:

   - Fuel Your Fire: Your unwavering passion for creating art is the heartbeat of your journey. Remember why you started and let that drive you forward.

   - Purpose: Connect with the deeper purpose behind your art. Whether it's self-expression, storytelling, or impacting others, keep that purpose alive.

Resilience and Grit:

   - Bounce Back: The lows are inevitable—rejections, creative blocks, self-doubt. But resilience is your superpower. Dust yourself off, learn from setbacks, and keep moving.

   - Grit: It's the determination to persevere when things get tough. Embrace challenges as stepping stones toward growth.

Support System:

   - Surround Yourself: Build a tribe of fellow artists, mentors, friends, and fans. They'll celebrate your highs and lift you during lows.

   - Feedback: Constructive criticism helps you improve. Listen, learn, and adapt.

Celebrate Small Wins:

   - Acknowledge Progress: Even the tiniest victories matter. Finished a song? Celebrate! Got positive feedback? Celebrate! Each step counts.

   - High-Five Yourself: You're climbing a mountain. Take a moment to appreciate the view from each ledge.

Self-Care and Mental Health:

   - Check-In: Artistic journeys can be emotionally draining. Prioritize self-care—sleep, exercise, healthy meals, and mental breaks.

   - Seek Support: If the lows become overwhelming, don't hesitate to seek professional help. Your well-being matters.

Learn and Evolve:

   - Stay Curious: Keep learning, experimenting, and evolving. Attend workshops, read, and explore new techniques.

   - Adapt to Trends: The art world evolves. Stay informed about industry trends without compromising your authenticity.

Visualize Success:

Remember the Journey:

   - Art as Therapy: Use your art to process emotions. Channel pain into creativity.

Stay Inspired:

   - Nature, Music, Life: Draw inspiration from everyday moments. A sunset, a conversation, a melody; they're all potential masterpieces.

   - Break Routine: Travel, explore, and break out of creative ruts.

Love the Process:

    - Not Just the Destination: The journey itself is art. Embrace the messy sketches, the late nights, and the detours.

    - Fall in Love Every Day: Wake up excited to create. That's the magic.
