You are listening to the Savvy Painter Podcast episode number 358.

Hello, my friends.

Welcome to another episode of the Savvy Painter Podcast.

I am your host, Anne Trees Wood.

And if you have been listening for a while, welcome back.

And if you're new here, I am so glad that you have found me.

The Savvy Painter Podcast is the podcast for artists who

want practical tactical tips to help them create a practice that is both fulfilling and supports you.

So today, I want to talk about something that I think is important, and I think you just might see yourself in this episode,

because I'm going to walk through nine specific behaviors that show up when artists are

struggling with self-doubt.

These aren't vague general struggles.

These are very specific observable patterns that I see over and over and over

again in growth studio and with my private coaching practice. Before we start, though, I want to be

really, really clear about why I'm sharing these with you today. It's not to make you feel bad about yourself, and it's not to point out anything that

you're doing wrong.

It's actually the opposite, because when you recognize and name the pattern that you're

stuck in, it loses its power over you.

You will go from what's wrong with me, why can't I just paint to, oh, I see what's

going on here. I'm doing that serial abandoner thing again. Don't know what that is. You will in a minute.

And you'll recognize that this is just a pattern. It is not a personality flaw. Also, you're not alone in it.

So, as I walk you through these nine behaviors, I want you to notice which ones you resonate with.
