Unlocking your inner creative and artist can help you unlock more than what you think. In 2015 after suffering from prolonged anxiety triggered by my daughter’s health conditions I found myself struggling to find joy within myself. I had lost myself in putting all of my energy, time and resources in finding alternative ways to help my daughter experience good health. I remember one day I had an idea, I was going to start painting! I told my husband who has been with me since I was 16 said “Tam you can’t paint”, at first I was offended but I knew that is what I always told him and I used to never allow myself to try because I didn’t deem myself as good enough, especially ‘comparing’ myself to my amazingly talented sister, Suellen. I am also glad that he said that as it motivated to prove him wrong, I went online looking for an art course but I wanted something with meaning and as I searched everywhere, I came across a pin on Pinterest showing me a pin I had pinned early that year as it has created a response within me. I wanted to know who the artist was and as I clicked through I came to Willowing arts created by Tamara Laporte who goes beyond just painting but creating with intention, feelings and selfexpression. I feel in love and signed up for her life book course
That then rippled into my life, motherhood and into my business by having the capability to start without having everything perfect, overthinking, stop trying to be over-controlling and allow myself to flow without restricting myself with limiting beliefs. I know when I need to paint which is when I don’t allow myself too, that is when I have gone into controlling/perfection mode. Now I love creating art just for the love of it.
and loved it. It helped me find my spark again and by giving myself permission to create it allowed me to overcome the fear of getting it wrong, perfectionism and being hugely critical of myself.
