When we wake up in the morning of the New Year, we are fuelled by big dreams and the desire to change our lives for the better. It’s also the time of year when we are most motivated to work on those goals and resolutions. But what if I told you that if you rely on motivation alone, you might not find motivation to last past February, and you’ll probably struggle to achieve those goals? So, if motivation isn’t enough, how do you keep on track and meet your resolutions?

Ever had a dream so close to your heart, but fear held you back? I've been there too. Afraid to take the first step, worried about what others might think. Over the years, I found ways to push through it which i compiled into the S.T.E.P.S. System. It's been a real life changer for me, helping me overcome fears that I thought were insurmountable, and I believe it could do the same for you.

As we kick off the year, I'm sure many of us are feeling motivated and excited to tackle new projects and goals. But it's also natural to feel daunted by the prospect of turning resolutions into actions. To help you stay motivated and on track.

A couple of days ago, I shared a post on my Instagram account showing my 20-year art progress. 

Going through my old sketchbook brought back memories of my 10 year old self putting every bit of effort and love into drawing a cute butterfly from a paper encyclopaedia…

Maybe you have been struggling to find a workflow for a long time and, every painting has a different approach, your art doesn't have a cohesive look to it, and your personal style refuses to show up…

Are you planning to get back into drawing after a long break but don't know where to begin? Well, by being here, you have already taken one of the essential steps towards it; you have acknowledged your desire to pursue art and permitted yourself to start finding ways to make it fit into your life again. And since you are already well on your way, let's explore some of the next steps you can take to embrace creativity and get past possible hurdles that you might be facing.

A few years ago, I felt stuck, and I had a collection so extensive of unfulfilled resolutions that just the memory of them makes me blush to this day. They would haunt me from the pages of old journals, calendars and alarms set with the best intention to prompt me into action, but destined forever to be snoozed…

Another year has almost gone by, and what a year it has been. I think it is safe to say that this was a year of uncertainty for all of us but perhaps also of new personal discoveries too. With many us feeling stuck, it's been unavoidable for us to develop and discover new ways to work effectively in the ever-changing environment of our world. And now that we're reaching the end of this hectic year let's take this opportune moment to rethink ourselves, take some time to reflect upon what might have worked for us and what didn't.

Procrastination is something we all experience, it festers in parts of our lives, impacting us on our careers or even stopping us from simple tasks like picking up a pencil and getting started. We all find that one thing we can't bring ourselves to do until the very last minute, if ever. We've all heard the "just get started", but we still don't do it, why? It can take hold, damage relationships around us and make us feel guilty, trying to climb what feels like a giant wall of impossible. However, procrastination is a very misunderstood process, and a lot of people who struggle with it also have to put up with being called lazy or disorganized, but it turns out this is not the case at all.
