I absolutely agree: problems are solved by making use of our creativity. We are all creators and in fact, co-creators of reality...We are all born to create and it's something we feel the urge to do--If it weren't for that pesky Inner Critic! Morning pages seems to be one of those things that take 21 days to become a habit. To be honest, I've been known to skip a few weeks here and there, LOL! But isn't it nice to know that they are there for you when you need them :D Creative ruts! Great phrase, I'll have to use that sometime! That's wonderful you have moved through your fears and have created the life your heart desires! Thank you so much for your feedback, I'm sure many people will benefit :D @Aditi,

Welcome to SqooshYourCritic! I hear you on the attorney/engineer front, these are two careers that are very left-brain analytical. It can be draining if we aren't balancing it with some right-brain creative activities. Making jewelry is a wonderful outlet! Its a good point you make about diffusing anger in doing something creative. That is a perfect example! The Artist's Way is SO healing and soul-expanding, I do hope you get a chance to take a sneak peak at it ;) @Tammy,

You can be an engineer or a programmer or a grocery clerk. No matter what you do - you need to be open to your inner creativity if you are to excel in business and in life.... because you are learning the art of listening and caring for yourself. And who's to say there's not a lot of creativity required to solve problems every day? To be honest, I've been horrible at morning pages (and evening pages, and writing in general)... but I really loved her inspirational words and pieces of wisdom on how to get yourself out of creative (and emotional) ruts. I worked through some of the biggest fears in my life that kept me from doing what I wanted to do... and I think this book was a small piece of the puzzle that got me to where I am today.

Recently, I have been looking back at why I neglected my creative side (spoken like an attorney and engineer ;) ). Like the stream-of-conscious writing, I have been devoting part of my day designing and making jewelry. It is a great way to diffuse my energy and even some of my anger. I will have to take a look at the book based on this review! :) These are great ideas!
