12/21 The Hanged Man - Has working on this project changed your perception of yourself in some way?Over the past two years the biggest change in myself that I associate with this deck is confidence. I am more sure of who I am as an artist, what I want to say, what themes I’d like to explore next, and that I have the proven ability to take on large projects.I tend to be highly self critical, something I’m sure other artists can relate to, and my self-criticism became so severe that it was affecting my mental health. Thanks to those low points (especially through the last 6 months or so) I’ve learned to step back and acknowledge my accomplishments - there’s no reason we can’t celebrate our progress and still recognize that there is vast room to grow. Because I’ve failed in many ways but survived those experiences, I know that when I face those fears again in the future, I have the tools to endure it.I hope that consciously remembering to perceive myself in a positive light when I’m self-critical will show as I move onto new projects.Question for you: Are you highly self-critical? How do you balance the criticism to keep it from becoming unhealthy? -- source link
