I loved the idea of having thoughts important enough to write down. I sat down with my blue, puffy-cover journal with the metal lock, and recorded the events of the day, since that&#8217;s what I thought I was supposed to do in a journal.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;lock&#8221; proved no match for sibling curiosity, and also I quickly got bored with the approach, so I dropped it for a while. By the time I was 12 or 13, I realized I could write about the things I felt, and so I did that a lot. I certainly had people to talk to, even trusted adults in my life, but having the chance to work out my feelings in writing has always fulfilled a deep need in me. I filled books and books with journaling and poetry.<\/p>\n<h3>Morning Pages<\/h3>\n<p>Not long after college, I came upon <a href=\"http:\/\/&lt;iframe style=&quot;width:120px;height:240px;&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=minartstu-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=1585421464&amp;asins=1585421464&amp;linkId=4MCEPJFIJDYEDM73&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true&quot;&gt; &lt;\/iframe&gt;\">The Artists&#8217; Way<\/a> by Julia Cameron. It was one of many powerful influences\u00a0in my journey to more fully developing my &#8220;artist self.&#8221; (The link for the book I&#8217;ve provided is an affiliate link. If\u00a0you decide to click on it and purchase something, I&#8217;ll receive a small commission.)<\/p>\n<p>Morning pages are one of the key elements of Cameron&#8217;s approach to helping you nurture your inner artist and harness your creativity. The morning pages are 3 pages of &#8220;brain dump&#8221; each morning.<\/p>\n<p>I suggest keeping your journal and a pen next to the bed as a reminder.\u00a0You might journal in bed, or seek out some caffeinated inspiration before you start. The rules are to\u00a0keep your hand moving continuously across the page until the 3 pages are done, and to not\u00a0read it over, at least not for the first several weeks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Start-Every-Day-in-Your-Journal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3864\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Start-Every-Day-in-Your-Journal-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Start Every Day in Your Journal\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You might write a bunch of drivel, silliness, self-doubts, your to do list, or what you were dreaming.\u00a0It really doesn&#8217;t matter. The morning pages don&#8217;t need to be serious or creative. Cameron\u00a0stresses that there is no right and no wrong way to do morning pages. &#8220;Nothing is too pretty, too silly, too stupid, or too weird to be included,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of morning pages, she explains, is\u00a0to tame the inner critic, what she refers to as the &#8220;Censor.&#8221; Cameron explains that the Censor&#8217;s job is to keep you from creating with its stream of harsh words and constant criticisms. You may choose to write what the Censor has to say, but as Cameron points out, &#8220;always remember that your Censor&#8217;s negative opinions are not the truth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[bctt tweet=&#8221;Tame the\u00a0inner critic and\u00a0free up your creative courage. #5for5selfcare #innercritic #creativity &#8220;]<\/p>\n<p>I think morning pages are also a great way to start the day a bit more slowly, to put off reaching for the phone, and\u00a0\u00a0to center yourself before you start the day.<\/p>\n<p>Are you intrigued about doing morning pages? They make a great 5 minute self-care activity. Do you already do them? What&#8217;s it like for you?
