The Spiritual Artist Podcast

Want Better Art? Start by Watching Your Thoughts

Christopher J. Miller Season 5 Episode 151

Want to improve your artwork? It might be time to look beyond your brushstrokes—and into your mind. In this episode, CJ Miller explores how the thoughts you carry into the studio directly affect your creative process, your confidence, and even the final piece.

Drawing inspiration from The Spiritual Artist, Eckhart Tolle, and contemplative wisdom from Father Richard Rohr, CJ shares practical tools to help you monitor your thoughts, practice presence, and awaken a deeper connection to your art.

You’ll learn:

  • How being present in the studio improves flow
  • Why watching your thoughts is the first step to creative clarity
  • What happens when you stop judging and start observing with curiosity
  • Breathing and body awareness practices that anchor you in the Now
  • How to start a parking lot journal for mental clutter

Whether you’re painting, sculpting, or simply navigating life as a creative, this episode is a gentle reminder that your mind and your art are deeply connected.
The Spiritual Artist learns to listen—before the brush ever hits the canvas.
