Let\u2019s talk about making 2025 the year your art takes center stage\u2014without the stress, without the pressure, and with plenty of room for creativity (and maybe a little bit of paint in your hair).<\/p>
New Year\u2019s resolutions aren\u2019t just for fitness buffs and self-improvement junkies. Artists and writers need goals, too! Whether you\u2019re wielding a paintbrush, scribbling in a notebook, or snapping the perfect photo, setting intentions can help you push past creative roadblocks and actually finish<\/em> those projects you swore you\u2019d get to last year.<\/p> But now it is March and we all (including me) need to get moving because lets face it resolutions were made month ago\u2026 are you following them?<\/p> So before we dive into all the exciting things you will<\/em> accomplish, let\u2019s take a moment to reflect. What worked for you in 2023? Maybe you finally tried oil painting, experimented with a new poetry format, or sold your first piece. Yay, you! Now, what didn\u2019t work? (Be honest\u2014was it that overly ambitious daily journaling goal that lasted, um, three days?) Reflection isn\u2019t about beating yourself up; it\u2019s about seeing what lit you up and what didn\u2019t, so you can fine-tune your creative journey.<\/p> Take my friend, for example. She realized she absolutely loves painting mini canvases\u2014tiny, colorful pieces that fit in the palm of your hand. So, this year, she\u2019s doubling down on her mini-art magic, exploring new techniques, and embracing what brings her joy<\/em>. That\u2019s the secret: find what excites you and lean into it.<\/p> Now, let\u2019s talk about action<\/em>. Pick one<\/em> creative goal for March\u2014just one. Keep it doable, fun, and something that gets you excited to create. Maybe it\u2019s sketching every morning with your coffee, finally submitting that short story to a magazine, or learning a new digital art tool. No pressure, just progress.<\/p> And here\u2019s the slightly terrifying but oh-so-important part: share your work<\/strong>. I know, I know\u2014putting your art out there can feel like standing in front of a crowd in your pajamas. But guess what? The more you share, the more confident you\u2019ll become. Start small\u2014post that painting online, read your poem to a friend, or display your work in a cozy corner of your home. Perfection isn\u2019t the goal\u2014expression<\/em> is.<\/p> March isn\u2019t just another month; it\u2019s the beginning of your next<\/em> chapter. So go ahead\u2014set your goals, make your plan, and most importantly, share your unique creative voice with the world. Your art matters. Your words matter. And 2025? It\u2019s yours for the making<\/p> Shugar<\/p> #CreativeNewYear #ArtGoals2024 #ShareYourMagic<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let\u2019s talk about making 2025 the year your art takes center stage\u2014without the stress, without the pressure, and with plenty of room for creativity (and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4869,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[226,139],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-art","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"\n
