Creative Mantras That Are Living With Me Through My Artist Winter Season
I never really understood how creative mantras could be incorporated into my daily art practice until I learned how lonely practicing art can feel some days. Yes, I am a part of a creative community that I converse with daily and I have a creative mentor that helps me align with myself quarterly. Yet, for the most part, I work alone in my studio which results in plenty of personal conversations on a daily basis.

Creative Mantras That Are Living With Me Through My Artist Winter Season
It wasn’t until I heard a few impactful phrases and noticed I was whispering them to myself throughout the day that I learned just what a creative mantra was and how I could use them as a tool to help guide me through creative seasons. Simply put, a creative mantra is a phrase repeated over and over to help with concentration. When practiced enough, it can even lead to healthier and changed mindsets.
Below is a roundup of phrases I am whispering to myself this winter season.
“All these small steps will lead to one big step”
“A goal is a wish, a standard holds you accountable” Tunde Oyeneyin
“I trust myself and my practice”
“Good work takes time” - Krista Coons
“Progress is quiet and slow” - Emily Jeffords
“Slowing down can catapult you forward”
“I am where I need to be”
“Get out of your head and just create”
“My hands are skilled and know the way” - Krista Coons
“Feel the feeling”
“Look at all I am creating”
“I am building exactly what I want”
