Think You’re Not an Artist? Replace That.
About this episode
Belief systems can get in the way of recognizing that we are love, and that Creative Intelligence operates through us naturally—if we let it.
In this episode, host CJMiller explores how limiting beliefs block our creativity and spiritual flow. He shares personal stories, including a conversation with a friend who reminded him of the simple but powerful practice: Release and Replace. If you believe “I’m not worthy” or “I’m not an artist”, Spirit—Creative Intelligence—can only reach you as far as you allow.
Even that lunch conversation, CJ notes, was an example of Creative Intelligence speaking through another.
CJ also reflects on his upbringing in a critical family, learning to recognize old habits of focusing on what’s wrong and choosing instead to replace that focus with gratitude—a practice that serves both in life and in the art studio. The message? Notice what’s working.
This isn’t just about painting. It’s about how you move through life, how you speak to yourself, and how you believe in your own creative power.
If you’ve ever told yourself “I’m not an artist”, this episode invites you to release that belief—and replace it with something like:
“I am a creator. I get better and better every day.”
CJ also shares details about his upcoming Spiritual Artist Retreat, where participants will walk a labyrinth to practice releasing a limiting belief and making space for something new to emerge. For more on labyrinth walks, check out this video: Watch here.
