Meditations and Positive Thinking to Increase Creativity for Artists

Focus is key to creating compelling art. Living on the planet today requires juggling a variety of tasks, such as making a living, staying healthy, taking care of others, such as family or friends, and other daily demands. These daily tasks often create tough distractions for artists, which can undermine the creative process. As a fine art painter, I have found some helpful books that offer methods to increase focus using meditation, positive thinking and other mindful techniques. Here is a list of my top five. I’m happy to share these with other artists in the hopes they can add inspiration, allow for ease and flow into a creative zone, and be of service towards the creative productivity.
