Feeling Blue? Keep Painting

Christopher J. Miller Season 2 Episode 79

CJ Miller takes a break from painting to share his experience of feeling blue and depressed. He encourages the listener to feel the emotion and keep on painting. When we feel our emotions, they process through us and take us to a new place. He also discusses his childhood experience with Seasonal Depression Disorder and how he learned to walk through emotions he cites a recent interview with Dr. Jane Gardner who explains the Emotional Scale and how we must feel an emotion completely before moving on to the next step. Watch “How do Emotions Hold Us Back from Creativity with Dr. Jayne Gardner” for more information. CJ reminds us to keep painting. 

A pdf of the emotional scale is listed on the Spiritual Artist Today website in the Practice Guides section. What sad song is CJ really into right now? "Dear Insecurity" by Brandi Clark featuring Brandi Carlisle.
