This results in believing something that limits you and your artistic achievement. It may start like this – it is easier for others to achieve but not for me, because…and here comes the list of reasons or excuses. This is a kind of mental obstruction that we create unknowingly. If you take a closer look at a person’s successful artistic journey and compare it with yourself (keeping aside the jealousy), you will certainly find it achievable from your end.

Mindset Block 3
Overwhelming to-do tasks. Quite naturally you are creative if you are an artist. Managing organizations, spreadsheets, and other tasks may not be your cup of tea. You probably have lots of creative ideas and to-do lists that you want to achieve and being impatient, you will surely want to achieve them in no time. Alongside, you are also the owner of an art business and may feel the heat of responsibilities for wearing a number of hats like finance, marketing, operations, productions, shipping, customer service, and more.

Mindset Block 4
Comparison Critic or Imposter Syndrome. This is a mental block that runs deep and highly associates itself with our personal emotional psyche. Everyone in this world suffers from this mindset block, so don’t worry, you’re not alone. Even people who are perfectly settled, struggle to establish the same. Here, you need to tackle a couple of things, understand them and move past them to overcome the mental block.
First is the comparison game. This is usually the precursor for imposter syndrome. These are toxic comparisons and thus, you need to limit them. You can blame it on social media. So, simply unfollow those pages or people from your profile. You don’t have to handle those mental traps and create the comparison every day. If you somehow face such complications in your mind, consider creating a 10-item gratitude list. Gratitude is certainly the golden ticket for moving out of anything that has a low frequency or relates to a bad mood.
Now comes the imposter syndrome. This is influenced by comparison and lies deep underneath the layer. This is a feeling that arises from lack. A mental awareness that lets you feel the deficiency of certain skills, tools, resources, connections, etc. Because of the falling-behind thoughts, your mind perpetuates a set of beliefs that you really don’t deserve the job, want to cut out, or even worse – the feeling of becoming a fraud that everyone will discover. It is a kind of newsflash that continuously plays in the background. The achievement of milestones would not have been possible if you really lack something. You certainly deserve the spot where you are standing today and will soon rise up the steps.
Therefore, to overcome this block, you need to find out the feeling of deficiencies, extract them and fill the gap. If you really feel that absence, simply go and learn it. Once you give the effort to find the solutions for these, the imposter syndrome will eventually fade out and things will become a lot easier.
Mindset Block 5
Lack of Confidence. This mindset is actually an extension of blockage number 4. Well, a lack of confidence is not always mental. It may occur when speaking publicly or in other instances. Therefore, a lack of confidence can occur through anything involved in how we act, talk, think, etc. It seems like a diamond in your life, eager to chase and acquire it. Confidence cannot be acquired from an empty tank that lies hidden within us. It is a result driven by a series of influencing factors, self-belief, inconsistencies, supports, etc.
Hence, to gain confidence, you need to do all these things. The key is to be persistent and keep showing up constantly. It is important that you learn from your failures. Believe in yourself in whatever you do. To shift your mindset from losing confidence to gaining confidence, consider acting, talking, and thinking confidently by following the above-mentioned steps.
These are some of the result-driven steps that you can follow. Undoubtedly, you will reach the tip of your success and manifest more artistic opportunities in the future.
