I can see your confidence growing every week 🙂 You are such a wise Old Soul on very young shoulders (how’s that for woo-woo and spiritual 🤣🤣) and I mean that as a huge compliment. So many people never reach the level of self-awareness during their longer lives than you have already reached in yours, I hope you remember to give yourself a big hug every night when you go to bed and say “well done”, even when you feel like you’ve had a Big Pants Day. Can’t wait to hear what you come up with next. Wishing you a wonderful, sparkly week xx

This was so helpful for me, thank you for doing this! The largest take away stop comparing and keep going don’t get discouraged, find the enjoyment in what your doing and be detached from the outcome, brilliant!

Perfection paralysis is such a tough one, and what you said about that fear of 'having all the gear and no idea' is spot on. Because before that, the excuse could be that you dont have the gear.. but once you have the gear you realise it was never that holding you back in the first place, it was your own self esteem and fear of failure. Before that we could live in the ideal world of imagination and what could be, until faced with what is. Confronting stuff. Loving these episodes Bethany!

Also, would love to see your daily routine with this job and how you organise yourself. I struggle so much with this with such a changeable brain 😂

Oh I know all about that perfectionism thing. It has stopped me from doing so many things. The anxiety is crippling. I often find myself having no idea where to even start on things. You got the audio a lot better anyway....one thing you have figured out during this process lol...

Beth, you are a the embodiment of a quote by Lao Tzu - A journey of a thousand steps begins with a single step. That step you were courageous enough to take, will have a profound impact on the lives of many creatives.

I have been listening to this one while I have been drawing, and I have found what you have been saying very interesting and has been encouraging for me. I do doubt myself and my drawings all the time, and I do compare my drawings with others, which I know I should not, but I do care about how my drawings look, and it does make me feel I am not good enough, that is why I cannot bring myself to charge for the portraits and pet portraits I do. I have just been giving them away to friends and neighbours when they have asked if I could do a drawing for them. I also am that person who thinks I may need better paper and better pencils, not the cheap drawing paper that I am using at the moment, because of cost, but I hear what you are saying, that it is not that important to have all the best tools to work with, but to do the best you can, with what you have got. It seems we all have been looking forward to these new videos you have been putting out, and you do give us all a lot to think about, which is good. Your voice is so easy to listen to while I am drawing, and you do communicate well. Thank you again Bethany.

I love these videos. :) Being atypical I've had a bit of an advantage because of my ability to hyper focus which makes it easier I guess for me to have patience with myself when learning new techniques or researching papers/pencils/paints/etc, but patience with the outside world telling me where I should be at what point has always been a struggle. Thank you for the validation that we all progress in our own way and that's okay. Thank you for sharing that we don't always have to have the answers, that the journey and process are sometimes more important than the outcome. I look forward to Mondays and these videos. I'm so thankful you've decided to do this.

My mistake - It should read A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
