Challenge yourself to step outside of your comfort zone.
Become "comfortable with the uncomfortable".

I was once stuck...

• My focus had been on my "technique" questions; what is the "best way" or "how can I make ...?
• I felt disconnected from my feelings and inner life.
• I was not aware of how to intentionally use my experience and memories to tell personal enamel narratives.
• My self-imposed rules of what was "good or bad" or "right or wrong"  limited my creativity.
• I didn't know how to step out of my "technique" comfort zone.
• I did not know my WHY? I believed that my WHAT and HOW were enough. But this left me feeling empty and uninspired.
• I had tons of doubt. Was I "good enough"?
• When I changed my questions I changed my life!
