WE ARE OUR OWN BEST TEACHER (Suggested for Stage Three; Learning)
In addition to being an artist and a designer, Elle Luna is an expert in helping people connect with their inner creative self, and then giving them the tools needed to act on that knowledge. This is a theme that permeates much of this inspiration interview, with Elle and Nick discussing the importance of heeding that inner creative call, regardless of where it leads one. This is a lively discussion that investigates the nature of creativity, preconceived notions of the self and how these can be harmful, and how best to embrace our true creative nature.
Here are a some key takeaways from the video:
• To find our “must’s” in this life we first have to recognize our “should’s”. The should is the doorkeeper to the must.
• To create meaningful art all you have to do is be fully, fully present.
• On your art and life path, think of them like a labyrinth—give permission to the meander; grace in the resting places.
• All of our parts show up when we are making art. Retrain those parts of ourselves that are self-sabotaging.
• When we have a conflict, or procrastination, maybe there is some intelligence there that needs to be explored.
