How Chaos in Art Helps Us Feel Safer
Like attracts like, and many of my students have perfectionist tendencies.
At the base of this, there is a belief that we cannot function as normal humans that make mistakes and won't be treated well and loved amidst imperfection.
Then somewhere along the way, someone feels like just leaving something undone, not correcting a wonky line and not making something look totally believable. And they like their art anyway.
This is the shift. It's hard to feel unless you do it and feel it. But with the level of freedom that comes from leaving something imperfect and loving it anyway, also comes bigger implications.
Our masks drop. Our give-a-fuck-about-trivial-BS reflex turns off. Our centers become more steady and we drop anchor in the priorities of our present peace, which has no room for self judgment.
Try it! It might change your life.
If you do, tell me about it!
