What is Creative Recovery?

Creative Recovery is a phrase Julia Cameron uses in The Artist's Way to describe a process of rediscovering and experiencing your inherent creativity.


In The Artist's Way a 12-week, self-led course is the way to creative recovery.

At MultiPurpose-Woman we follow The Artist's Way to Creative Recovery while we explore hobbies.

How can creative recovery provide a lifestyle lift?

It's been said that many mature women have lost touch with that aspect of self that is creative. By creative I mean the ability and desire to consciously create. Due to this loss mature women too often live live while on autopilot. We go through the motions and get stuck.

So the goal of creative recovery is to reconnect self to creativity. We're talking about multiple types of creation; making things, making experiences, making meaning. The closer self and creativity are the more consciously you create results. You decide what you want and need and you set out to create it. You have immediately moved forward – it's an instant lifestyle lift.

We provide spirituality information to help mature women design a reflective learning life-course in being happier.

Simple Advice for Getting Unstuck

If you are stuck and are sure you want to get unstuck do the following:

• Seek counsel
  
• Transfer to another place
  
• Uncork a bottle of wine (or similar indulgence)
  
• Countdown to a new day
  
• Kickback and relax

note: this advice has been intentionally left open-ended so you can reuse it in different situation, add your own flavor, and other interpret it to do what you know you need to do.

For example, "transfer to another place" could mean move from the bedroom to the living to think and it could mean move from London to Louisville.
