You are listening to the savvy painter podcast episode number 282.

Hello friends, how are you doing today?

I am doing really, really well.

Amazing, actually, I am doing really well amazing actually I am just super super engaged with some new projects that I have

going on in my studio and in my life I am in master coach training and it is kind of blowing my mind in terms of the side effects of what they are asking of me.

And the thing that I think is so fascinating about this is as painters, we know that when you

introduce a new mark or like a new color, a new shape into a painting, it really changes

the whole painting.

When you activate an area of the canvas with, I don't know, maybe a super saturated red, for example,

and let's just say that maybe the other areas of the canvas are more muted, that saturated red mark changes our perceptions of all of the other colors that are already on the canvas.

They're seen differently now that they are playing against that red,

and that difference changes the whole painting. And that's kind of what's happening with me

with this master coach training. It's crazy. It's sort of accelerating this experience for me

that when we change one thought in any area of our thinking

in any area of our life, it changes everything else. So right now, as an example, I'm sort of questioning what is possible for me in my life and I'm breaking down and re-examining a lot of the beliefs that are the basis, the foundation of what I imagine is possible for me and what I'm discovering is overflowing into my painting in really, really fun ways.

And so it made me think that this idea would be a good topic to explore with you today on the podcast.

So one of the things that I'm doing by examining these underlying beliefs that I have is I'm just

kind of taking a look at them, seeing what they are producing, and then deciding on purpose if I want to keep them or if I just want to let them go, maybe adjust them a little bit or if I want to let them go entirely.

So we're going to talk today about choosing your own beliefs about your own beliefs,

art, and what you're going to learn from this conversation,

I hope, is why choosing on purpose is such a powerful habit to get into and what to expect from yourself

when you are changing your thoughts and someone like your underlying
