Stop waiting for permission to call yourself an Artist

Stop waiting for permission to call yourself an artist. Drop the Imposter syndrome and try this new mindset instead. In this video, we explore the "Big Secret" to inspiration and creativity: that it doesn't start with a brush, or a degree... It starts with the simple, profound act of noticing the world around you. Whether it’s the dappled light filtering through leaves or the shift of the seasons, your ability to feel "Awe" is your proof that you are already an artist. We dive into the science of the Reticular Activation System (RAS) and how "The Gift of Noticing" can counteract stress, boost dopamine, and change the way you experience your daily life. In this video, we cover: - Why the "Real Artist" myth is holding you back. - The connection between Awe, gratitude, and mental health. - How to activate your "creative brain" without even picking up a tool.
