The Power of Morning Pages
Morning Pages, as introduced in Julia Cameron's book 'The Artist's Way,' are three pages of free-form writing done first thing in the morning. They train us to expand our thoughts, take a more benevolent view of life, be optimistic, and dismantle perfectionism. Morning Pages provide a safe space to explore scattered thoughts, poke into corners of our consciousness, and bring any debris and rubble into focus. By silencing our inner critic and trusting our initial intuition, we can access our authentic selves and unblock our creativity.
