Tapping into Your Artist Soul
The Power of Offline Creation
Today, I want to talk about something that’s been brewing in my mind lately:
the importance of coming from a real place in your art and how to protect that precious spiritual currency you’ve been cultivating.
As artists, we often find ourselves swimming in a sea of inspiration, much of it coming from the chaotic waters of social media.
Sure, others can dive into that ocean of content creation, but as someone with an artist soul, you should tread carefully.
What you’ve been feeling over the past few months is more than just inspiration—it’s spiritual currency, and it’s downright precious.
Hold Onto That Realness
When you’re creating from a genuine place, you tap into something that resonates deeply with your audience. Don’t lose that authenticity! The world doesn’t need more noise; it needs your unique voice. And with that in mind, I encourage you to steer clear of the digital distractions that can cloud your creative judgment.
Instead, let’s take a step back and embrace the tactile beauty of pen and paper. There’s something magical about putting your thoughts down in ink, away from the influence of digital platforms. This is where the real magic happens.
Map It Out
So, how do we do this?
Start by mapping out your plans. Let your imagination run wild! Think about how you want to approach your audience without the noise of notifications and the pressure of trending topics.
What stories do you want to tell?
What messages do you want to convey?
When you’re away from those soul-sucking platforms, you’re free to brainstorm ideas that reflect your true self. And believe me, this is how your work “hits different” with your people. It’s infused with your essence, your spirit, and your passion.
Create with Intention
Once you’ve laid out a soulful plan that excites you—one that feels so good it can’t be contained within just two dimensions—then it’s time to transition back to the digital realm. But only then! When your ideas are clear and your vision is strong, you’ll be ready to share your authentic self with the world.
