Artist Block What to look for and how to get over it . Be Prepared so you don't get it
Episode 12

Online platforms like YouTube help by providing inspiration and connection, especially for those with limited local support. Personal challenges, including disabilities, can increase difficulties but also inspire resilience. The "four Bs" framework—Beliefs, Behaviors, Barriers, and Benefits—helps artists identify what maintains their block and develop solutions. Artist block is dangerous because it threatens creativity and career sustainability. Passion and a clear mission drive artists through tough times. Coaching and mentorship provide personalized strategies, goal-setting, and encouragement. When block arises, artists can take immediate steps: 1) pause to refresh, 2) engage in free creative play, 3) change environment or medium, 4) talk with peers or mentors, and 5) set very small goals. Keeping a public presence during block maintains visibility and motivation. Pressure to produce can inspire or overwhelm; managing it with realistic goals and self-care is key. Avoiding shows removes important deadlines and feedback, which may deepen block. To stay inspired, artists should seek new experiences, remain curious, and remember why they create. Common misconceptions are that block is failure, limited to unskilled artists, or fixed by waiting. Persistent block warrants professional help such as coaching or therapy.#ArtistBlock #SelfDoubt #Frustration #Procrastination #Motivation #ArtisticVoice #ExternalPressures #FearOfFailure #Perfectionism #AuthenticWork #Inspiration #Community #Mentors #ReframingThoughts #SmallGoals #Passion #RegularPractice #Feedback #Rest #Purpose #Confidence #Resilience #Coaching #CreativePlay #EnvironmentChange #PublicPresence #SelfCare #Curiosity #Therapy #CreativeFlowSupport the showFor more information go to www.StefanBaumann.com https://www.stefanbaumann.com/Free Book For painting, coaching call me on my phone at 415-606-9074
