Thank you Andrew from the bottom of my heart for taking your time to create these videos. You not only inspire me creatively, you also motivate me during my creative blocks whenever you upload. Can't wait to see more of what you create soon 🙏

As a starting creator, I am very thankful to have the chance to actually just do it. That I sometimes take the time and create and in the end it feels so great. 20 percent here we go.

I’ve been noticing that afternoon dip, I generally start the day optimistic and at some point I feel like it’s hopeless. All I do is tell myself no decision making at this time! Super calming content, thank you. My 1% better thing …. I’m getting on camera at the moment doing daily short videos, I want to get better at videos without tipping into masking etc which I can do in my normal life let alone when I hit record! I’m having to keep defining for myself what ‘better’ is.

A really awesome life hack for not being distracted by your phone is to have ADHD and leave it in a random location far away while you do other things.

I think we're grounded in ourselves, but the universe will build you up to become someone who can handle what you want to accomplish or what situation you find yourself in. You're both the same and totally changed from one day to the next.

I'm thankful for people like you who remind me that I have dreams to take care of and that I'm worth figuring out how to do that. I've been working on learning Japanese every day for the past 2 months, something I've put off for most of my life, allowing other things to take precedence. It's helped me to feel like I'm taking back a little bit of the control I've given up on having over my own situation. I've also been fairly consistent about continuing to try to grow and care for plants over the last year. Not everything has lived, but like you said, "that failure will teach you what doesn't work, " so as long as I keep trying, I'm bound to keep making progress on that skill set, and my endurance continues to build. I am also grateful for the few crops I've managed to keep alive until harvest, and I greatly enjoy consuming them. It gives me tangible results. I think that's why I've always gravitated toward art and craft skills: aids the ADHD lack of permanence if you have something concrete to look at and say, "I did that."

I want to learn video editing, as youtube is kinda' still a dream of mine, but I haven't yet made it a priority, and still don't really know how to nurse those trailing thoughts into productive ideas I can create something from. I tend to ruminate if I'm not mindful of my own mind, and that has led me to trying to "tune out" over the years, rather than "tune in" to those thoughts. I've spent my life running and constantly distracting myself. Working on it all now, but good gravy, I have put myself in a pickle I don't enjoy living in with all the decisions I've made out of alignment with myself. I have to take responsibility for those choices, without being cruel, knowing that I did the best I could with what I had in front of me. I hadn't built the skills, didn't know all the facts, was working with limited resources. Stuff I'd understand from a friend, but struggle to accept from myself. Becoming my own kind parent, teaching myself how to more adeptly handle what life throws at me, has been a skill I've been honing for a couple years, now, and I can see the improvement after all the work.

Practice makes progress! And progress isn't linear. Lot's of self-acceptance is necessary to be able to move forward 'cause you can't see where you need to go and what you need to do if you don't know where you really are. I appreciate how realistic you are about the nonsense that pops up in our heads as people who want to make things, and the fact that those fears don't necessarily go away over time. I read "The Mountain is You" recently and in it they talk about how if you continue to expand your comfort zone, you will never not be anxious, because it's a sign you're growing and trying new things. The key, I hear, is to feel the fear, accept it, and do the thing anyway.

Excited to see what your next video looks like!

Man this is soo special🔥 love how organic this feels.

[AjayShaunta]

I’m getting so much better at blocking out the noise not only in the world but also in my mind! Really enjoyed this one!

[alisterfelix]

I definitely get the 4pm anxiety bump of the "I'm not doing enough..".. it comes back right before I sleep too. This was extremely encouraging.. it makes this creative path less lonely when you hear someone going through the same thing. Amazing video as always. Thank you for the perspective!

[BenHardyYT]

20% I’ve been getting better and blocking out my distractions and instead only consuming when it’s inspirational and informative to my art.

Mhm I feel very drained by the artist lifestyle lately... to be more precise by my choice to work in the film industry. What do you guys think is the main reason you are doing Art for? Cause for me it was because i really enjoyed making films and learning how to make films like my idols, it felt in a way almost therapeutic and connected me with a lot of people that also liked doing film. Now 10 years later, after going to Filmshool and working on a bunch of filmsets it seems to me that having to commercially work on art (you know... to effort rent and that kind of stuff) it took the fun out of it for me. Anyone else dealing with that issue and maybe even got some ideas?

[girlsonmission]

Im getting better at posting videos consistently even when no one is yet 😊

[pixie_tazz]

Your videos really help as they feel more personable and real to me (relatable to my own struggles and experiences). Other youtubers have great advice as well, while your videos feel closer to home for me. Thank you 🧡

[TheEVside]

Love it. Thankful for still being here and getting better making videos on YT

Some of the best cinematography I've seen in a Youtube video like this

[directordavid]

Honestly, the thing I'm getting 1% better at as an artist right now is learning how to rest. The pulling away and setting aside of the "work" to just rest. It's been hard since it feels like I haven't been creating anything new for YouTube and all that for a bit, but at the same time my creativity is growing in new areas again and I'm beginning to enjoy what I create again. So yeh. Grateful for rest and people around me who see helping me do so.

[okeyjay]

The feeling of never doing enough is insanely relatable, then the catch 22 that feeling becomes so overwhelming its easy to then crawl up and do nothing aha.

Super thankful for those I have in my life.
Slowly getting better at weening out the bad habbit's.

Great video! Cinematography + story telling

[rin]

This video really helped me see so much of myself. Everyday I am always trying to do better at loving myself and caring for myself more than the day before, even if its 1%.

I'm truly grateful for the blessings and challenges that I have gone through especially the past few months, because it taught me how to truly value myself and how to keep moving forward and to continue refining and challenging myself in new aspects of life.

I am also grateful to the people around me who have supported me and have been there for me through my highest and lowest moments. Its only recently that I learned how to be grateful and appreciate the little things around me that can bring me the sense of joy and happiness!

Thank you Andrew for this video! It really helped me :)

[BeatriceHarrods]

I’ve been in a kind of creative block for too long, it happened when I was feeling on top, everything was going well and suddenly I started to doubt all my ideas, which made me quite inconstant compared to how I used to be. Sometimes I feel like I've blown it all, but I fight those thoughts every day, it's like a roller coaster. Sometimes you're up and sometimes you're down, the important thing I guess, is to enjoy the journey. Today I am grateful to have found this video, now I have more desire to get better. Thank you for your art Andrew, it's more impactful than you think

[firaoltafese]

bro i really appreciate the flow of your idea in the video

[DinaStarsOfficial]

Andrew!!! I finally got Brick!! And used your code! Thank you! I’ve been searching for something like this. Love your videos dude!!!!

[AndyFitia]
