My Little Victories as an Artist
As an artist you can often be less excited or less willing to paint or create. You can stress about anything, but luckily, little victories illuminate daily life and increase the levels of dopamine of the brain (the hormone of happiness).
I’m sure that, you too, enjoy those moments of pure pleasure where you want to say “Woooah, I’m winning!”
Reading this kind of article gives everyone reason to smily, not just the creative ones. So, let’s take advantage of it and share our little victories!

Dopamine is definitely the best send-up! Those little triumphs certainly made me smile, and being aware of and celebrating them is a good way not to be discouraged on the steep climb up the never-ending learning curve.
