Barnes & NobleThe Artist's Way- 30th Anniversary Edition by Julia Cameron

Rediscover yourself

I do not believe there is one book, one source, or one person who has all the answers. That being said, The Artist's Way has helped me achieve and maintain sobriety, rediscover my inner child artist, and opened up my creativity like never before. Its not just a book, it is a twelve week program designed to guide you step by step toward recovery and rediscovery of yourself. There is an artist inside all of us. It is suppressed for many different reasons. Maybe we were told we would never make it - or that writing, painting, sculpting weren't real jobs. Maybe it is our own fear of failure, that if we can't do it perfectly why do it at all. We say we are too busy, we have too many people we have to take care of because they depend on us. The list of excuses go on and on. There are a plethora of things that we use to block our own creativity. The Artist's Way helps you discover what is holding you back, and ways you can unblock your creative being. If only I were good enough, if only I had more time, if only . . . if only will no longer be an excuse. Two of the most important things I took from the program were the Morning Pages and the Artist's Dates. The Morning Pages help clear your mind, open your creative channels, and prepare you to face the day. The Artist's Dates make sure you are taking time for you, even if its just for an hour or two each week, to reward yourself and recharge your creative energy. If you are ready to release your inner artist and begin your journey of self discovery, pick up a copy of this book. You can only gain from its content.
