RE: ANXIETY ruled my life, then I found the BEST medicine EVER - And now I'm an Artist.

in #creative7 years ago

Well done for making this your business. I usually just get told that there's no money to be made in art, just get a job! Not that I'd probably be much good at making money from art anyway as I'm terribly quiet and not great at communicating. I'm also slow at everything so it would take me too long to make anything!

Anyway, a big welcome to Steemit. You're obviously in really good hands with Matt as your guide!

Sort:  

I got busy and only just noticed this.
Great to see she's in good hands.
Beautiful work, Kristie.
We got your cousin up and running, so hopefully she sneaks under the tree soon and gets a running start :)
@minismallholding, there are still plenty there if you're heading to the city.

I rarely go near the city, especially at this time of year, but thank you, certainly would if I went that way.

It sounds like you're going to get all of South Australia here single handed Matt!

Naaaw @minismallholding , now that I've heard 3 negative self perceptions you hold for yourself, Please tell me 3 positive ones 🤗.

Quiet people are the deepest thinkers.

Being slow also probably means you are thorough

And I'm sure your communication skills are great when the environment you're is comfortable.

Thank you sincerely for your big welcome :)

I have to confess I'm a bit taken by surprise! I've never had anyone acknowledge what I would call the positives of the way I am. Yes, I do tend to be thorough, but those around me are more interested in speed than thoroughness, especially in the work place. It's also true that I'm fine at communication with my family and a few close friends who are now physically distant from me.

I'm not always sure that deep thinking is a good thing, I sometimes head down a rabbit hole!

Okay, 3 positives, that is a challenge! 🤔
Persistence. I keep plugging at things until they're done, no matter how long it takes.
I feel like I create things with my hands well. When everyone's buying things I'm looking to see if I can make it!
I think I do okay at writing too. I've been writing articles for a couple of magazines and for the first time hubby's encouraging me because he likes the cheques! 😂

Thank you for a lovely reply which has made me think more positively.

So many good vibes and blessings to you! I really really look forward to seeing some of your creations abd reading your articles. Peace and love 🙏

I recently convinced my sister to follow her passion and make money sharing her love of craft. YouTube is her outlet and the thing about making videos is you can take all the time you need, and it can all be sped up in the editing.
My niece is also onboard sharing her passion for crochet and she is building a nice little side income while she studies.
Both didn't think they could make money from their passion before they started.

Sometimes it's only our mind that holds us back from being the person we believe we are. You only get one chance to live this life. Just one.

I never thought the usefulness in making a video if you're slow. That's a very good point. I'm glad your sister and niece have so much support in you.

Thank you for sharing this. It's been eye opening to read about people making some money doing what they love.
