It is with great excitement that I announce sending out my very first Art and Yoga MuseLetter this morning. After spending yesterday evening working on it, it's finally finished! It had been my intention to have this first MuseLetter ready by August 1st. I could make a handful of excuses about being to busy with my job search and wedding plans to meet my own deadlines. However, in reality there were two things holding me back: perfection and fear. In my head I get all of these creative and elaborate ideas about how fancy I can make something. The problem with this approach is that when I sit down to get the task done, I am so overwhelmed and have no idea where to begin. Ever happen to you..?
In order to get this first edition complete, I recalled one of the first rules I learned in art school. Keep. it. Simple.
The second thing that holds me back are my own hesitations and fears. I begin to wonder if by sharing my ideas, I'm pestering people. I suppose I am just scared of putting myself out there in an intimate way. What I'm learning though is that you can't be afraid to grow. It's ok to take risks. There are times that perhaps you won't succeed, but consider the times you do. They well outweigh the times that things don't work out the way you hoped they would. Interested in receiving my Art and Yoga MuseLetter..? Simply sign up on the right side of the page for the next edition. As you peruse it, consider what might be holding you back..?
