Here’s a taster of what’s in store. Wisdom from Julia Cameron:

1. No matter what your age or life path, whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selfish or too silly to work on your creativity.

2. In order to have a real relationship with our creativity, we must take the time and care to cultivate it. Our creativity will use this time to confront us, to confide in us, to bond with us, and to plan.

3. There is just this dream, this feeling, this urge, this desire. There is seldom any real proof, but the dream lives on.

4. Judging your early artistic efforts is artist abuse.

5. It is impossible to get better and look good at the same time.

6. Negative beliefs are exactly that: beliefs, not facts.

7. Don’t let your self-doubt turn into self-sabotage.

8. The essential element in nurturing our creativity lies in nurturing ourselves.

9. Anger is our friend. Not a nice friend. Not a gentle friend. Buy a very, very loyal friend. It will always tell us when we have been betrayed. It will always tell us when we have betrayed ourselves. It will always tell us that it is time to act in our own best interests.

10. We meditate to discover our own identity, our right place in the scheme of the universe.

    Through meditation, we acquire and eventually acknowledge our connection to an inner power source that has the ability to transform our outer world. In other words, meditation gives us only the light of insight but also the power of expansive change.

    Insight in and of itself is an intellectual comfort. Power in and of itself is a blind force that can destroy as easily as build. It is only when we consciously learn to link power and light that we begin to feel our rightful identities as creative beings.

The Artist’s Way is a book and a 12 week course written by Julia Cameron - it aims to dispel the 'I'm not talented enough' conditioning that holds us back and helps us to unleash our inner artist/writer/true self.

The book promises to:

• Transform your life

• Overcome any artistic blocks you may suffer from, including limiting beliefs, fear, sabotage, jealousy and guilt, and replace them with self confidence and productivity.

• Demystify the creative process by making it a part of your daily life.’

I will be facilitating the course for all paid subscribers starting on this Thursday at 1pm.

Buy the book, and read the introduction and let’s get stuck in this Thursday.

Week 1 begins on 28th September. Hope you can join us.

I will be doing all the exercises alongside you as well as facilitating.

I look forward to going on this journey with you over the next 3 months.

Please spread the word to any friends who may want to boost their lives in the last quarter of the year.
