About this episode
Send us a text Could social media be sabotaging your art practice? Join me, Matt Tommey, as I explore how platforms like Facebook and Instagram might be draining your creative energy and disrupting your artistic flow. I discuss the hidden pitfalls of mindless scrolling, which can create a false sense of productivity that detracts from genuine art-making and spiritual fulfillment. By understanding the impact of social media on your brain's reward system and recognizing the distractions it causes, you can reclaim your focus and foster a more rewarding and intentional artistic journey. As someone who knows the challenges of managing social media, especially for those averse to conflict and change, I share effective strategies to help you set boundaries and maintain your creative focus. From scheduling specific times for social media engagement to prioritizing creation over consumption, I offer practical advice to help you cultivate habits that prioritize true artistic growth. By removing distractions and connecting with your spiritual and artistic purpose, you'll find greater fulfillment in your work.
