November ambitious goals...
I thought I'd start us off sharing our goals and obstacles. My November ambitious goal is to do a series of three paintings.
My obstacles are:
I don't think I have enough knowledge about the painting process or materials
I have no confidence that I will do a good job and will probably just ruin the three canvases.
I feel silly even suggesting that I paint as everyone else is better at painting than me.
Wow! Those obstacles were automatic thoughts that I wrote down straight after I wrote out my goal. Isn't the mind an interesting thing! I have wanted to paint for a while but always put off even trying...now I know why!

Interesting that your automatic thoughts were so destructive [i imagine] of your confidence. And it is common. Where do we get these self harming inner voices from? And has becoming aware of them helped to neutralise their power?
