“When we first start working with affirmations they feel dumb. Hokey. Embarrassing. Isn’t this interesting? We can easily without embarrassment bludgeon ourselves with negative affirmations: ‘I’m not good enough/clever enough/not original enough/not young enough…’ But saying nice things about ourselves is notoriously hard to do. It feels pretty awful at first. Try these…..‘I deserve love.’ ‘I deserve fair pay.’ ‘I dserve a rewarding creative life.’ ‘I am a brilliant and successful artist.’ ‘I have rich creative talents.’ ‘I am competent and confident in my creative work’. Did your Censor perk its nasty little ears up? Censors loathe anything that sounds like real self-worth.”Julia Cameron

We’ve just finished week 1 of the Artist’s Way. (It’s not too late to join us)

(But if 1pm on a Thursday doesn’t work for you. I discovered that the wonderful Kia Cannons is also hosting an Artist’s Way this autumn. Head over to www.kiacannon.com Wednesday at 6pm)

This week we were creating a sense of safety - first step - working on our inner world.

How can you champion yourself with positive affirmations?

Choose one this week.

Focus on it and find evidence to prove it’s true.

Here’s the video for week 1:
