"I recently decided to ___ and it changed everything"

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs in your art don’t come from fancy tools or new techniques—they come from one bold decision. This prompt is your moment to reflect, be real, and share a piece of your journey that reshaped the way you create.

Maybe you let go of perfectionism. Maybe you tried a new medium. Maybe you finally raised your prices, took a break, or trusted your gut instead of the algorithm. Whatever the shift was—it’s yours, and telling that story can inspire someone else to take that same leap.

So go ahead, fill in the blank. Tell us what changed, why it mattered, and how it’s showing up in your work.

  • 1. “I Recently Decided to Take My Art Seriously”

    • Hook Text on Screen: “I recently decided to take my art seriously…”

    • Clips to Include:

      • Before: hobbyist moments, messy sketchbooks, casual clips

      • After: set-up workspace, a focused studio moment, your proud face

      • Add milestones: opening a shop, selling a piece, sharing your work

    • Audio: Empowering or emotional audio with a build-up

    • Overlay Text: Reflective captions like “I stopped waiting for permission. I started showing up for myself.”

    2. “I Recently Decided to Let Go of Perfectionism”

    • Footage showing:

      • Scrapped pieces, messy process, your real WIPs

      • You laughing or embracing the chaos

      • Finished piece that turned out better because you let go

    • Text Idea: “I decided to stop aiming for perfect. And I made my favorite piece ever.”

    3. “A Small Creative Change with a Big Impact”

      • Switched mediums

    2. “The Internal Shift That Changed Everything”

    • Show the emotional side:

      • You working quietly

      • A messy middle

      • Words on screen: “I let go of fear / comparison / overthinking”

      • End with your work feeling freer, truer, more you

    • Then a recent moment: “After choosing to [rest / believe in myself / switch mediums]”

    • Text overlay with your reflections

    • “I recently decided to trust my instincts instead of trends, and everything started flowing.”

    • “I recently decided to call myself an artist—out loud, for real. That changed everything.”

    • “I recently decided to stop hiding my work and start sharing it. And wow, it’s been beautiful.”

    • “I recently decided that done is better than perfect. And I’ve never created more freely.”

    • “Sometimes, one decision opens the door to everything you were waiting for.”
