On this week’s episode of Creative Space, we’re diving into Chapter 10 of Julia Cameron’s seminal book on creativity, “The Artist’s Way.” The focus for this week is “Recovering a Sense of Self-Protection.”

There is so much to cover but there are two principles we’ll talk about: fame and competition.

One of my favorite quotes from this chapter: “The desire to be better than can choke off the simple desire to be. As artists we cannot afford this thinking. It leads us away from our own voices and choices and into a defensive game that centers outside of ourselves and our sphere of influence. It asks us to define our creativity in terms of someone else’s.”

On this week’s episode of Creative Space, we’re diving into Chapter 9 of Julia Cameron’s seminal book on creativity, “The Artist’s Way.” The focus for this week is “Recovering a Sense of Compassion.”

There is so much to cover but there are three principles we’ll talk about: fear, enthusiasm, and creative u-turns.

One of my favorite quotes from this chapter: “A productive artist is quite often a happy person. This can be very threatening as a self-concept to those who are used to getting their needs met by being unhappy.”

On this week’s episode of Creative Space, we’re diving into Chapter 7 of Julia Cameron’s seminal book on creativity, “The Artist’s Way.” The focus for this week is “Recovering a Sense of Connection.”

There is so much to cover but there are four core principles we’ll talk about:  Listening, Perfectionism, Risk, and Jealousy.

My favorite passage from this chapter: “We deny that in order to do something well we must first be willing to do it badly. Instead, we opt for setting our limits, at the point where we feel assured of success. Living within these bounds, we may feel stifled, smothered, despairing, bored. But yes, we do feel safe. And safety is a very expensive illusion.”

On this week’s episode of Creative Space, we’re diving into Chapter 5 of Julia Cameron’s seminal book on creativity, “The Artist’s Way.” The focus for this week is “Recovering a Sense of Possibility,” and it continues to expand on the theme of letting go of preconceived limitations and finding flow.

There is so much to cover but there are three core principles we’ll talk about: limits, finding the river, and the virtue trap.

My favorite passage from this chapter: “Dependence on the creator within is really freedom from all other dependencies. Paradoxically, it is also the only route to real intimacy with other human beings. Freed from our terrible fears of abandonment, we are able to live with more spontaneity. Freed from our constant demands for more and more reassurance, our fellows are able to love us back without feeling so burdened.”

My favorite passage from this chapter: “Be prepared for bursts of tears and laughter. A certain giddiness may accompany sudden stabs of loss. Think of yourself as an accident victim walking away from the crash: your old life has crashed and burned; your new life isn’t apparent yet. You may feel yourself to be temporarily without a vehicle. Just keep walking.”

On today's episode of Creative Space, we're addressing topics from Week 1 of Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way," which is all about recovering a sense of safety.

There are three core ideas that I cover in this episode: shadow artists, core negative beliefs, and affirmations.

From my own past as a journalist to the nuanced struggles of being a shadow artist, we peel back the layers of suppressed creativity and the impact early discouragement can have on us later in life.

I also dive into an exercise from "The Artist's Way" that illuminates the power of affirmations in silencing our inner critic or "Censor."  By transforming negative commentary "blurts" into positive affirmations, we can move from being creatively blocked to unleashing a fulfilling creative life. If you've ever been haunted by a sense of creative inadequacy or felt like your artistic voice was stifled, this episode offers a beacon of hope and actionable steps towards claiming the creative life you deserve.

Here's a link to purchase "The Artist's Way."
