Introduction:
Welcome to Awareness for Everyone, an exploration of Conscious Reality Creation, and living the best lives we can for ourselves.  I am MJ Blehart, writer, blogger, editor, and 21st century philosopher.  This is Episode 36 – Awareness for Artists.
Why awareness for artists?
Thoughts, feelings, intentional actions and art
There are lots of creatives out there. It is increasingly becoming apparent to me that the most successful are not simply figures churning out work…they are business enterprises and entrepreneurs.
Initially, when you are living from your subconscious more than your consciousness, it takes a lot of work to practice mindfulness and be aware of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. While it does get somewhat easier to do this over time, by no means does it become permanent, flawless, or effortless.
Why does awareness matter?
Awareness is part of the creative process.
No matter the art, whether painting, writing, sculpting, cooking, singing, or what-have-you – mindfulness is important. Thoughts feelings and actions go into everything that you do. Thus you become aware in the here-and-now of what you are doing.
There can be a fine line between the world of your creation and the real world. Awareness and mindfulness helps you to find your center and remain grounded.
Mindfulness and the resulting awareness are part of the art
Taking intentional actions for change.
Thought, feeling, and passion go into an artists’ work. Part of what makes art more than just words, images, or whatever is the awareness they have or can induce.
Everything is subjective.
