Phew, two more weeks to go. Hasn't it been a journey? The Artist's Way has been as life changing for me this time as it was the last time. It's been quite a roller coaster for me - grumpiness and resistance as well as the intense creative highs.
Week 11 and we're recovering a sense of autonomy. I resonated with the line: 'Cutting off our creativity makes us savage." It also makes me resentful and gloomy. When I'm freed to create and brainstorm and write, I feel like I'm living the life I truly want to live. But when I have no space to breathe - easter holidays, sick dogs, children, car tax, a million and one emails - I feel sullen, stifled and yes, savage. I want to bear my teeth.
This week I'm going to enjoy writing the list of the five ways I intend to nurture myself in the next 6 months. Mostly, that will be about space. (By the way - does anyone know a good Buddhist retreat that I can go to that will take my son and I - he's 6 - for a alternative summer holiday?)
I'm also going to binge on self nurturing this week.
Enjoy this week.
I'm running the Change Your LIfe, Change Your thinking event on Saturday 25th - I need a few volunteers on the day to help with initial registrations on the day. If there is anyone who'd be willing to help, it would be much appreciated. YOu will get to hear the speakers too - and you'll get a teeshirt!!
If you'd like to help, email me [email protected]
