Tears & Tantrums: What to Do When Things Dont Go as Planned [30]
b'
Things haven\\u2019t gone to plan chez Alice and Louise this week. Alice\\u2019s much anticipated summer break was swamped by rain, meaning a lot of wet walks and NONE of the planned sketchbook days out. To compound the situation, she also lost internet which meant she couldn\\u2019t catch up on important work. Louise worked for months on an online course, only to be let down by Zoom, YouTube and Mailchimp all on the same evening. The result was less than pretty!
\\nGiven these mini-disasters, we discuss how we react when things go wrong. It\\u2019s easy to say \\u2018put things into perspective\\u2019 but do we need to feel that emotion first? And if so, is there a way to feel the emotion, but also keep things in perspective?
\\nWe also answer a question about art degrees. One listener is considering whether to go for an MA. We acknowledge that being an artist is about learning and stretching yourself, but we wonder whether taking an advanced degree is a safe option that simply postpones the inevitable time when you have to do this for yourself anyway.
\\nWe would love to hear you views on this topic too, if you\\u2019ve taken an MA, what did you feel it gave you?
\\nMentioned:
\\nLouise\'s course - Find Your Joy
\\nTwo Dots - you really don\\u2019t want to waste your time on this (unless you are only human!)
