THE WAKE UP CALL : Episode 103 of the So Free Art Podcast, with Artist Sophie Lawson - About The Tings

103 – THE WAKE UP CALL

Wakey Wakey! Can you hear that? I never planned to talk about this topic, but it popped into my head, so I went with it … on this episode I talk about the Virus, and how I see it as The Wake Up Call we all need.

Something I’ve realised over the past few years is that Change is hard; the Transition from old to new is super Uncomfortable, but I see this lil period we’re in right now as a Beautiful Opportunity for us Humans to Learn and Grow, and hopefully Come Together.

Lots of Topics on this one, such as:
The Ancient Past,
Conspiracies,
Facing Fears,
Religions,
Balancing Opposites,
Death,
Tribes,
The Media,
Fear,
How Thoughts Lead to Action,
Karma,
and we have a lil bit of African Drumming at the end :)

Hope you like this one.

What a weird week this has been. It’s been a week of Distractions, and in this episode I talk about a lil article I found on Steemit.com, entitled ‘Starving Your Distractions’.

I talk about:

My Art Desk,
Tricks of the Mind,
Detaching from Negative People,
Dealing with Negative Thoughts,
Lucid Dreaming,
Habits,
Having Multiple Devices,
Video Game Addiction,
Video Game Characters,
and Distractions :)

After recording this one I felt a lot better; It’s true what they say…It’s Good To Talk!

Hope you find this one interesting.

NEGATIVE THOUGHTS : Episode 99 of the So Free Art Podcast, with Artist Sophie Lawson - About The Tings

99 – NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

NO! That’s what I said out loud during the recording of a YouTube video when I got hit with a wave of Negative Thoughts about my voice.

Once I had finished recording, I realised it would make a good topic for this weeks About the Tings episode of the So Free Art Podcast.

Negative Thoughts are Pretty Powerful, and Super Sneaky, but once you start putting Awareness on the Mind, you see them for what they really are…

LIES!

It’s funny though, because even when you know what’s going on, they still seem to be running the show; It’s bloody mental lol

On this episode I talk about some of my main reoccurring Negative Thoughts, Tings that can help, such as Automatic Writing, and I share some of my Personal Experiences Exposing the Lies of the Mind.

I also talk about:
Synchronicity,
Facing Fears,
The Baby Step Approach,
Confidence,
Keeping a Diary,
and we end with a bit of African Drumming.

I do hope you enjoy this one.

Mystery Topic - episode 95 of the So Free Art Podcast with Artist Sophie Lawson

95 – MYSTERY TOPIC

This one’s a Mystery! Thought it might be fun to keep the topic a Secret from you, seeing as I didn’t know what I was going to be talking about until co-host lil Dennis randomly pulled it out of my bag.

I used to do this all the time, about a year a go, and I forgot how hard but fun it can be. Really enjoyed this, it’s fascinating to see what the mind comes up with when it’s put on the spot.

Some of the tings I talk about include:
How Painting has a life of it’s own,
Running,
Honey and Lemon Lockets,
Toilet paper,
Mistakes,
Being Adaptable,
and Learning.

I also talk a bit about Boogies lol I wasn’t feeling very well during this one and one fell onto my drawing. Eww!

Hope you like.
