Week 3: Recovering a Sense of Power

"This week may find you dealing with unaccustomed bursts of energy and sharp peaks of anger, joy and grief. You are coming into your power as the illusory hold of your previously accepted limits is shaken. You will be asked to consciously experiment with spiritual open-mindedness." ~ Julia Cameron.

Recovering a Sense of Power. Today I opened this chapter in my book and read...

"That question of expectations interests me. God knows that the sky's the limit. Anyone honest will tell you that possibility is far more frightening than impossibility, that freedom is far more terrifying than any prison.

Just this morning I had watched Jennice Vilhauer's Ted talk, Why you don't get what you want, it's not what you expect... a synchronicity about expectations arising for me... 'our expectations about our ability to get what we want, have a very profound impact on our emotional wellbeing.'
