Over the past several weeks, I'm sure many of you have been setting goals and making plans for the rest of the year. Being strategic and intentional about what you aim to achieve in your art career begins with these steps, but there's also incredible power that comes from confidence and positive thoughts that your dreams will happen. As such, our team is excited to share with you 20 top affirmations specifically written for artists by community member Geraldina Khatchikian.


Per Geraldina's advice, repeat each affirmation at least three times. Choose a few to say to yourself daily or switch them up on a weekly basis. She also suggests writing them in places where they will be visible to you so it will be easier to keep them in mind. For example, she likes to jot them down on post-it notes and stick them on walls around her home. Or, another idea is to create a list of favorites from below and save it as the screensaver on your phone or laptop.
