Sarah is back on Thriving Women Artists and this week she’s brought the topic of what to do when you’re feeling jealous of other artists. Listen in as Ping, Dorien, and Sarah talk about how they feel jealous, what they do about it, and how jealousy isn’t always a negative thing. Find out what positives can you take from this feeling to drive your own work and achieve your goals.



KEY TAKEAWAYS
Jealousy is not only for artists starting out, no matter what stage you are on your journey you will look at someone else's work or where they are and feel envious.
Feeling jealous of other people’s work is not necessarily a negative feeling, we can use it to drive our own work, find passion, and grow as an artist.
The negative side of jealousy is being overwhelmed, we’ve all spent far too long scrolling through Instagram and feeling like you’ll never have what other people have. You should take action and change your mindset from scarcity to abundance.
We all feel jealous of each other, you don’t get that ‘wow’ feeling at your own work. We aren’t surprised by our own work but the choices other people make are a surprise to us and it makes us feel jealous.
Embrace your own uniqueness and your own skill set. Be proud of yourself and use that as a base to build off, don’t be jealous of others but be inspired instead. Confidence is the difference between being envious and inspired by others.





BEST MOMENTS



‘I was depressed because I thought I couldn’t do it, I didn’t pick up my pencil’ 

‘If you want something you can grow and learn and practice’ 

‘It’s not going to change by itself’ 

‘When I know what I’m capable of then I don’t worry about what someone else is doing’
