Weekend workshop morning pages

morning-pagesDuring The Power Of Me Weekend workshop we will learn how to write our own Morning pages.

What are Morning pages?

They are three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing, done first thing in the morning. There is no wrong way to do Morning Pages – they are not high art. They are not even ‘writing’.

What do you write about?

They are about anything and everything that crosses your mind – and they are for your eyes only. Morning pages provoke, clarify, comfort, cajole, prioritise and synchronise the day at hand. Do not over-think Morning Pages, just put three pages of anything on the page and then do three more pages tomorrow. Julia Cameron, the author of The Artist’s Way, says that really they should be Mourning Pages because they are a farewell to life as you knew it and welcome to life as it is going to be. You write down whatever is moving through your consciousness like a meditation, some people call these ‘Cloud thoughts’.

Why should I do them in the morning?

The reason for doing them first thing in the morning is to get all the negativity down on the page so you can get on with the rest of your day in a more positive frame of mind. You can view morning pages as a kind of brain dump, get rid of anything annoying you, playing on your mind and stopping you from being your powerful vibrant self.
