100th Episode - Nicholas Wilton and James Higgins - Ep 100
https://Art2Life.com - I cannot believe the 100th Episode of the Art2Life podcast is finally here! When I started this thing a little over two years ago, I didn’t really know what it would be about. But as we’ve taken this journey together, the theme of finding your way as you go has become central to not only this show but Art2Life as a whole. So I thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane with my good friend James Higgins. James is a yoga instructor and spiritual guide for many while also being an artist, visionary, and world traveler. Join us as we look back at the last 100 episodes with clips and conversations designed to inspire you along your personal art journey. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… Embracing the struggle and going all in on your art practice [3:38] Creating the space to figure yourself out [11:22] Finding our way back from the shadow realm [16:05] The correlation between freedom and self-expression [20:59] Tackling comparison and knowing when to move on [28:26] Becoming the best version of yourself [34:47] The reciprocal nature of the art-making process [42:16] Getting out of the messy middle [47:34] Bringing it back to our childlike essence and developing a quality “come from” [50:32] Announcing the contest winner [1:01:01] Creating confidence and final thoughts [1:03:59] ================================ RESOURCES MENTIONED Finding Your Way As You Go - Nicholas Wilton - Ep 1: https://www.art2life.com/2021/11/10/finding-your-way-as-you-go-ep-1/ Live Like an Artist - Austin Kleon - Ep 3: https://www.art2life.com/2021/11/10/live-like-an-artist-with-austin-kleon-ep-3/ How Breakthroughs Occur – Marjorie Thompson – Ep 13: https://www.art2life.com/2022/01/19/how-breakthroughs-occur-marjorie-thompson-ep-13/ How I Do This – Robert Szot – Ep 14: https://www.art2life.com/2022/01/26/how-i-do-this-robert-szot-ep-14/ Finding Your Style – Nicholas Wilton – Ep 34: https://www.art2life.com/2022/06/15/finding-your-style-nicholas-wilton-ep-34/ Don’t Be a Baby and Keep Making Your Art – Jerry Saltz – Ep 54: https://www.art2life.com/2022/11/02/dont-be-a-baby-and-keep-making-your-art-jerry-saltz-ep-54/ Your Brain on Art – Ivy Ross and Susan Magsamen – Ep 74: https://www.art2life.com/2023/03/22/your-brain-on-art-ivy-ross-and-susan-magsamen-ep-74/ Becoming More Alive – Brandi Stanley – Ep 36: https://www.art2life.com/2022/06/29/becoming-more-alive-brandi-stanely-ep-36/ Life to Art – Nicholas Wilton – Ep 90: https://www.art2life.com/2023/07/12/life-to-art-nicholas-wilton-ep-90/ How to Move Towards Authenticity – Rick Scott – Ep 80: https://www.art2life.com/2023/05/03/how-to-move-towards-authenticity-rick-scott-ep-80/ How to Create Confidence – Susie Moore – Ep 72: https://www.art2life.com/2023/03/08/how-to-create-confidence-susie-moore-ep-72/ ================================= CONNECT WITH JAMES HIGGINS Website: https://jameshigginsyoga.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jameshigginsyoga/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/James-Higgins-Yoga-and-Meditation-100063630728421/ ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/ Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/ Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/ Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/?hl=en Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Art2Life

Rising Above Unbelief - Nicholas Wilton - Ep 99
https://Art2Life.com - A big theme that comes up frequently for the artists I work with is the idea of believing in yourself. Specifically, believing in yourself when others don’t. It’s completely understandable to care about what others think. Human beings are hardwired for community, after all. However, we can’t let someone else’s negative take keep us from the life we’re supposed to live and the art we’re supposed to make. Join me as I share a handful of thoughts to help you rise above the unbelief of others and overcome paralyzing fear in your art practice. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… The universal experience of rejection [2:16] Putting ALL of yourself on the canvas [8:22] How to bring depth to your work [11:28] Seizing the opportunity of vulnerability [20:30] ================================ CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/ Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/ Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/ Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/?hl=en Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Art2Life
