Creative Recovery

The following words are from The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron, a book that teaches the art of creative recovery, loosely based on the principles of 12 step programs. I came upon them in an old journal and wanted to share them as something that helps me--the key to contentment is all about remembering--who we are and why we came here. All of us are creators of the dreams that we lead. All of us are Gods.

I am a channel for God's creativity, and my work comes to good.

My dreams come from God and God has the power to accomplish them.

As I create and listen, I will be led.

My creativity heals myself and others.

I am allowed to nurture my artist.

Through the use of my creativity, I serve the goddess.

My creativity always leads me to truth and love.

My creativity leads me to forgiveness and self-forgiveness.

There is a divine plan of goodness for me.

There is a divinge plan of goodness for my work.

As I listen to the creator within, I am led.

As I listen to my creativity, I am led to create.

I am willing to create.

I am willing to learn to let myself create.

I am willing to let God create through me.

I am willing to be of service through my creativity.

I am willing to experience my creative energy.

I am willing to use my creative talents.
