366 5-Minute Mentoring: Overcoming Fear of Sharing Your Artwork

The Thriving Christian Artist

Sharing your creative work can be a very daunting task. What people are going to say? Will they like it? Is your art “good enough?” If they don’t like it, does that mean you’re not a "real artist?"

If this sounds familiar, you’re in good company. Everybody feels some trepidation about sharing their work from time to time.

It's a normal reaction to putting yourself in a vulnerable position.

It would be easy to shut our art away in a closet or in our studio, protected from criticism and other people’s opinions.

But art is meant to be shared! Don’t hide it under a bushel - let it shine! ⭐

So what can you do to conquer this fear and put your art out there?

In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I share some advice that will help you push through whatever fears are holding you back and share your gifts with the world. I call it the Five Rs - Recognize, Repent, Replace, Reinforce, Rejoice. Check it out!
