How I did it: I bought Julia Cameron's Artist's Way. At first, I didn't believe it would actually change all those things that had been going so wrong for so many years in my life, but it actually did. Not the book itself, but the wise words in it combined with the will to recover from nearly seven years of depression. The Right to write is another powerful book by the same author that actually taught me to be more patient with myself, to forgive what I had done to myself and to treat myself like a precious person with amazing dreams, values and goals...all this was just a lack of faith, but as Joseph Campbell would say : follow your bliss....

Lessons & tips: stand for YOUR happiness, I have a friend who says we all come in this world to live for the best. Life is meant to bring the best out of us if we only let it do so.

Resources: The Artist's Way, The right to write, The writing diet, Finding Water, Letters to a young artist, all by Julia Cameron.
