422 | 5-Minute Mentoring: Burned Out And Bored With Art?

Send us a text From the outside looking in, you would think a working artist would never get burned out or bored. After all, who else gets to follow their passion and do the thing they love the most in the world and make a good living doing it? But burnout and boredom are real obstacles that every artist has to overcome. Maybe you’re working so much, preparing for shows, doing commissions, and all that, and it’s just become so overwhelming that you want just put it all away for a while. Or maybe you’ve hit a lull in your schedule and in your commission work and you just have to force yourself to get SOMETHING done to feel productive. Many artists bounce back and forth between these two states without finding a happy medium, mostly because they don’t know how to resolve the problem. In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I lay out my strategies for dealing with burnout and boredom in your life as an artist. If you can put these tips into practice, you’ll break out of your rut and get back into the good rhythms of being a successful working artist. ==================== When you’re ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣ Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art” Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?
