Meander Again: "The Joy Diet" by Martha Beck, Chpt 4, "Creativity"

from Meanderings with Trudy · host Trudy Chapman

Creativity is this week’s focus in chapter 4 of “The Joy Diet.” I found this chapter really helpful and I encourage you to grab a pen and a piece of paper so you too can work through the exercises she offers. She doesn’t as much talk about creativity as much as invite you into a few practices that help you explore yours, in relation to the desire you may have articulated in the previous chapter. In today's episode, I show my work and talk about what I learned about taking steps to make my desire a reality. I hope you’ll enjoy this episode.
