Morning pages can lead to breakthroughs in creativity from "summary" of The Artist's Way Morning Pages Journal by Julia Cameron
Every morning, before the day has a chance to intrude, take a pen and fill three pages with whatever comes to mind. Let your thoughts flow freely, without judgment or censorship. These morning pages are a way to clear out the clutter in your mind and make space for creativity to flourish. As you write, you may find that your thoughts start to take unexpected turns, leading you down new paths and revealing hidden insights. The act of writing by hand connects you more deeply to your thoughts and emotions, allowing you to access ideas and feelings that may have been buried beneath the surface. By committing to this daily practice, you create a regular rhythm that can help you tap into your inner creativity. Over time, you may start to notice patterns emerging in your writing, themes that recur and ideas that resurface. These patterns can offer valuable clues to your subconscious desires and fears, helping you to understand yourself on a deeper level. The process of writing morning pages can also help you break through creative blocks. By giving yourself permission to write without constraints, you may discover new solutions to old problems or fresh ideas for your work. The act of writing itself can be a form of meditation, calming your mind and allowing your creativity to flow more freely.- The goal of morning pages is not to produce polished writing or profound insights, but simply to allow yourself the time and space to explore your thoughts and feelings. By making this practice a regular part of your routine, you create a fertile ground for creativity to take root and blossom.
