Overcome Imposter Syndrome & Fear of Success | Watercolor Art | Slow Living in English Countryside
Overcome imposter syndrome and fear of success as an artist and a creative.
I've been sabotaging my own work for as long as I can remember - never happy about any of my achievements, questioning my every move. I lived a busy city life in London, hustling and working endlessly, and I still wasn't happy. I moved to the countryside & pursued a different, more creative career, and I am still feeling like an imposter. Perhaps I need this video more than anyone, so partially, I am making it for myself. I hope it helps you too!

Stop Comparing Your Life To Others - Why I love my boring life in the English Countryside | Art Vlog
Переглядів 16 тис.14 днів тому
Comparison is what's destroying our creativity and joy. I've been stuck in a trap of comparison for most of my life, always trying to perform better, be better, make sure my life is exciting. People experiencing all sorts of drama, living out of a suitcase, going through many relationships - my life seemed boring in comparison. Until at some point I realised, that perhaps, this sort of "boring"...
How I Learned to Paint With Watercolor in 2 Months - Teach Yourself Anything | Cottagecore Art

How I taught myself to paint with watercolours in 2 months - painting nature while living slowly in the English countryside (cottagecore art). Nature always fascinated me, and I wanted to capture it, keep it as a memory somewhere close. I was taking photos for the longest time, but that just didn't quite work the way I wanted it to. So I decided to learn how to paint - that way I can capture wh...

Forest Bathing - How To Find Slow Moments of Calm in a Busy Life

Forest Bathing is a concept that originated in Japan in the 1980's, called Shinrin Yoku in Japanese. It has become a vital part of slow living for me, going out into the woods and finding moments of calm and relaxation after a busy day or week. Now that the days are getting longer and there is more sunlight in the evenings, it's become easier to find time to go outside. The woods are bursting g...

    There's a romantic understanding about the starving artist that's still on vogue today. And there's a perception you have to become someone else to achieve some recognition. That's why I like this kind of videos; not only because they're beautiful and a piece of art, also because it shows up you can be authentic and thrive at the same time. Thank you Daria!

    Thank you for this video. I also needed to hear this. I am a language teacher. For about two years now. I always feel like they will find out any minute now, that I am actually unable to be a teacher. They will find out and fire me. A friend told me to remind myself of actual truths. I actually am an over qualified teacher. My boss observed a lesson and was very satisfied with me. I work hard and prepare my lessons well. So, I hope, with reminding me of these truths, I will lose my imposter syndrome.

      I get that! Perhaps try taking your own reference pictures? But also, in the beginning stages there is nothing bad in copying others (as long as you don’t claim it your own). For most people that’s the best way to learn. And you repeat and repeat it a lot, until you find your own way 😊

    You have the privilege of being able to live a slow life. Glad for you! but do remember millions of us do not carry that privilege given a thousand reasons and inequalities prevalet in the world in face of capitalism. for some this kind of life will always be a dream till death because they were born in a different place under different circumstances.

    • @IamDaria
      @IamDaria 2 дні тому

      Of course I recognise it as a privilege. But I also always remember that I wasn’t born into it. I came here through actions and circumstances, which, to an extent, all conspired in a favourable way - so it can now be called a privilege. I wasn’t born into capitalism. I wasn’t born into money. I was born with a passport that said “Alien” on it (yes, really). No culture. No country or language to call my own. I’m not saying my troubles are harder than yours. We all experience our own, deal with them in our own way. And no, not everyone is able to deal with them at all. It is, as you say, an unequal world we live in. I felt it, and I recognise it now too. But does that mean I should stop sharing my inner world as well?

    Thank you for making this video. I got incredibly ill recently to the point I basically stayed on my couch for five days. Migraines, back ache, struggling to sleep, complete lack of motivation. It was really hard to take care of myself by myself. I knew though I needed to change my life. I basically sat and did nothing. The guilt was incredibly overwhelming. But I've realised that I am in burn out mode. I cannot blame anyone but there was definitely societal expectations that played a part in my burnout. I have reduced my time on social media significantly. I doubt I will have it in the long run but rather than just immediate cut off I'm doing it slowly. I've also realised, I need slow living. It's what works best for me. There were a lot of things you said that I am going through as well. I thought something was wrong with me. Mood swings, anger, irritability, no motivation , depressed, anxious and panicked. I will not live my life like that. It's going to take time to get well again but I know my life is going to change in some really big ways. The world and society can learn to fit around me. Not the other way around.

    Such a beautiful and relaxing video! I love the way you shoot and edit. ❤ Just wanted to share a little bit about Rhododendron. Last year I got to work with some Scottish reforestation experts and as you mentioned in the video Rhododendrons are a serious problem in native Scottish forests too. It takes a lot of man-power and money to tackle the problem and at the moment it's a loosing battle. It's unfortunately incredibly common for Rhododendrons to escape gardens, even if the owners are trying their best to be mindful of the problem. The only solution would be to stop planting Rhododendron. Just wanted to mention that in case anyone feels inspired to get some for their garden after watching this beautiful video. Maybe just get a native flowering plant instead!

    I understand you perfectly as I too feel fear frequently. I think that, that is exactly why we do not want to leave the comfort zone, as it is said lately. Who wanst to live with fear...I stopped fearing to acknoknowledge that I love to be in my confort zone because nature is not only predictable, but to a large extent at least, peaceful and friendly. And the world beyond our boundaries is not so. And tha is not fair. I love your videos because are capable to restablish my mind peacefulness in a selfish world. Thanks for doing all that.

    You're fine. You have a good head on your shoulders. I was attracted to your channel for the watercolour art video and stayed for your youthful philosophy of and for, living. You will find opposition even in your own camp. You have the privilege of ignoring it because you only have yourself to answer to. And learn, in the process, greater gratitude and that our freedom comes from above. Think about this: I believe being unique means loneliness, because there is little connection to have with others. They would either be above or below your standard and that would make them incompatible acquaintances. Embrace your humanity, something we all share. No matter who we are or where we're from, when we are cut, we bleed. None of us levitate to put our pants on. That makes us family.

Your work is amazing and so good that you will start to sell your art. Your art is just as much “art” as any other artist and yes there will always be people who try to hold you/us down. But they are not more right than you are . It’s just their opinion nothing else. They are in their right to dislike what we do and sometimes they tell us in a mean way what they think. But we have to remember that it’s not the truth it’s just their opinion and we have ours. We have just as much value than they have. We are the main person in our life and what others think is actually not important at all. We must do what we like and make the best out of our lives every day❤️
