Did you know that who you surround yourself with makes a huge difference to your life?
\\nDoes your family have a creative background? Is your creative streak viewed with suspicion or disbelief. It can be hard to make art if this is what surrounds us so we review our personal histories and how we\'ve made changes to the things which influence our beliefs.
\\nThe quote \\u201cYou\\u2019re the average of the five people spend the most time with,\\u201d is most often attributed to motivational speaker Jim Rohn, but science backs him up.
\\n
\\nWhat this means is that if your friends are obese, you are much more likely to also be obese. If your friends drink too much, chances are you will too. But how does this impact our art-making? We discuss the importance of having supportive people in our lives and we share some of the ways we have done this for ourselves. We also share our thoughts on minimizing the psychological impact of negative comments as these can derail us if we are not careful. In the end, it comes down to choosing who or what will influence our mindset and making conscious moves to ensure we stay in a good place.
\\n
\\nWe also talk studio clear-outs and what we have learned about launching a course online (even though it\'s not our course!)
