I heard about “morning pages” for years earlier than I truly tried it! And it has been probably the most transformative, therapeutic practices of my life. Moreover, it’s quick and free.
I consider morning pages (as conceived by writer and artist Julia Cameron) as a “brain dump” of three scribbled pages while you get up within the morning. It helps you get all of the negativity and self-judgment and fear out earlier than you begin the day.
My pages are so cluttered you actually cannot even learn them!!
This observe just isn’t “journaling” or a observe of reflection. It “spills” every thing out, by no means to be judged once more.
That’s why it really works.
I additionally typically do “morning” pages within the afternoon and night time if I want it. Ha. And in my writing group, all of us begin with this train as a result of it actually helps us be extra inventive and free with our ideas and concepts!
If you are a perfectionist or have loads of self-judgment, strive the morning pages!
