Creating art is no less than letting god speak and who are we to get in the way of letting god speak? That helped me, to get out of the way and just let the art come to life

[jessicab]

I’ve found that gym and journaling daily has helped me explore my limitations in art. Once I started going to the gym daily, and I wouldn’t listen to music instead I’d be present and conscious of my breath I reconnected with my creativity, and the beliefs I’d attached to it. That had stopped me from pursuing a career- it made me realise being an artist is a lifestyle. And typically that lifestyle goes against what society wants, it requires a good amount of discipline and control but it’s fundamental to give yourself space where there is no control, no expectations, no limits and you are fully accepting of your creative spirit. As someone whose always sought control this is difficult for me, but I use journalling, meditation and introspection to be in tune with myself.

Recently I’ve been exploring the belief that my art has to fit into an aesthetic and not limiting the tools I use which is in contrast to what Rick says- but I need it because being an art student was all about rules. And I realise rules made up by the art teacher, I need to find my own rules so I don’t continuously abandon my art because the rules stop me from creating what I truly want.

Living through my body was a bar... As a creative when you're just stuck in your room focusing on creating you neglect your body/health. When I started exercising and getting some sun.

That improved my confidence in myself a lot. Didn't realize how the lack of vitamin D (sun) and exercise really makes me feel down which effects how fast I get music done.

[Ardenone]

My experience tells me that: The greter the potential behind what we're trying to express, the greter the fear of achieving or even simply starting it. The greter the fear, the greter the potential for growth. The greater the potential for growth, the harder it gets as you're enclosing on the aim. It's like a root vegetable youre pulling out the ground, but you don't know how big it is, which in turn makes it even harder for you to pull out the ground, especially as we all start - through a small hole. Might be even a string of root vegetables, just like potatoes do grow. Might have to invite all your friends and family to pull together with you, the gretaer the reap is - the more mental, physical, emotional and SOCIAL support we need. Hope this helps friend 🙏 thank you for staying in tune with yourself and your authenticity

I bought Rick Rubin's book yesterday and now this video pop up on my feed . I love synchronicities. Thank you so much for this video

[forestaeon]

Cultivating and keeping a perspective of curiosity with my art when it comes to conflicts or feeling stuck is everything. If I'm struggling to let the art flow, I can get with myself and whatever associated feelings that are coming up and ask without judgment "what do you need?" "what's going on?", then whatever comes up I can allow into my present experience (I'm no longer fighting myself), and accept that I believe this or feel this way. Then I can change it up and get back to play. Stay curious.

[jeny]

Just bought the book. I a musician and haven't written, sung, or played the drums in 10 years due to trauma. This was a great interview and helps me break down the book and look forward to breaking through being stuck. Thank you!!

[MeluzHann]

Gah, thank you🥰
My theory teacher used to tell us that the only reason why we were learning the rules was so that we could break them :’) that, and KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid.
I really can’t thank you enough❤️‍🔥

At university i did costume design and making, the often easiest way to come with a design was to give ourselves enough limiting factors for the design (had to be red, had to be baggy, had to be historically accurate etc) so we had to really get the blood out of the stone when it came to creativity, if i asked you to design me something, anything, where would you even begin?? If i told you i wanted a blue chair that could recline and looked modern and was comfy, you'd already be crunching the design much faster. When it comes to the creative process give your self targets/limiters you have to hit and youll actually get a purer concentrate of creative juice out your brain

[Viv-idfr]

Great video! The background music is sometimes too loud and drowns out the talking.

[jessicarubio]

The amount of information in this video is crazy. Really appreciate the effort to look at multiple interviews and the book to create this digested version. Seriously great job distilling important elements and adding examples of your own experience and other artists to back this up and make it relatable. Really, keep this up 💯

[kennethevans]

If the idea of doing something scares you, that is the idea you pursue. Everytime you become aware of something that makes you uncomfortable because it is unfamiliar, you are standing on the edge of the cliff. You can jump into the unknown not knowing where it will lead or turn back to safety where you know what to expect and feel safe. Your mind takes notes everytime you turn away from something new. The more you embrace the unknown and explore new realms your mind expands. It starts to become comfortable with doing what is uncomfortable. Be bold and be brave. Your life is as interesting as the choices you make

[misftxx]

YO PLEASE KEEP UPLOADING I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK MANE, so motivating and not only that I’m learning life lessons, life changing lessons as an artist repeatedly through the greats and you have a great way of dissecting there way of work, hope your views triple this year

Halfway through, I had to comment. This is 100% accurate. And meditation isn't just about what's been said. Its also who we are energetically, and that does radiate out and connect to the universe. That's no woo woo. It's science.

I have spent two years applying myself to connecting to, and transforming myself through a meditative practice which is about connecting to the part of the brain called superconscious which rearranges life experiences in the brain so that we no longer feel the pain of difficult experiences. And with it practicing raising my vibration daily through conscious choice and meditation, focusing on what I want, and alligned action,

However, these practices aren't about fixing. It's about creating. Be it art or life, we are creative beings who can create the life we love.

Rick Ruben is so inspiring. He gets it. I think he is a true "magician".

Love your attitude of engagement and the rest of thr video. It's spot on.
" Awareness". It's 100% true.

[RyansTrashCan]

I saw the title of this video and immediately went to my local book store and picked up a copy. Going to come back to this video after I finish it!

[guyharris]

‘Quality Inputs’ that’s an interesting concept. Thank you!

[meursault]

I appreciate Rick's economy of language.
I can tell that almost all of what's in that book won't be floundering or waffling or padding.

[doglover_]

Thanks so much for the shoutout ✨💛 Crazy to have my music playing in the background of his wisdom.

[Lilbbpickle]

So true i literally walk like awe almost everyday until sad ppl ruin my day

[commonbeats]

UK gang! 👊 so glad came across your channel. As a follower of Jesus, trying to see the world, my life, my art through His eyes is a place I love to approach music from.
