I get into my own head way too much sometimes. It gets to the point of I feel like an imposter. Today I submitted videos for a workshop I was invited to speak about incorporating math in art. This is something I have done in the classroom for 15 years. Yet here I sit wondering it will be accepted, was I clear, did I present the information in useful and engaging manner, was there distracting background noise, is it even what they were wanting? I wish I could say it was the first time I felt this way, but nope, every time I sell a work, have a show, make a piece, speak, heck even teach that self doubt rears up and whispers in my ear. So I keep pushing myself to be better, learn more, find new techniques, refine old techniques, because I fear I’ll be found out. Anybody else feel this way? Anybody learned how to shut that part of the brain off? Today to cope, and shut my mind up, I started building a pergola that will be the center point of a concrete paver patio. #imposter #impostersyndrome #artistworries #shutupbrain https://www.instagram.com/p/CPqu6N2jWHf/?utm_medium=tumblr
