What's more important: creating new art or fixing my mindset?

Fixing your mindset is often more important than creating new art. Most artists think painting a new piece or finding one magic marketing tactic will take them to the next level. In reality, misconceptions in your head are what hold you back. When you have wrong information about timing and how quickly success should happen, you become depressed, demotivated, and feel like a failure when things don’t happen fast. This is all based on false premises. If you knew other successful artists took just as long or longer, you’d realize you’re demotivating yourself for nothing. Correcting your perspective puts you on a much better path immediately and is one of the biggest changes you can make.
