91 - trusting your instincts

Sometimes it can be easy to jump into things with FOMO driving us, sometimes we see others doing ALL the things on social media and love it all and want to be just like them. The trouble is, it’s not our thing. Do we plough on regardless, or do we reflect, learn what’s right for us and learn to trust our own judgment?

Gut reaction, the click moment, the internal nod are all signs we’re on the right path for us and don’t need to follow the herd. Experience and confidence are giant contributions to learning to get back in touch with our instincts. Trusting ourselves is so important to deliver art in our own way.

So, tell us what you think! As always you’re invited to join the conversation on social media @artchatterpodcast or comment on the podcast wherever you listen.
